If you're looking for a great-looking, fun, fast, and uncommon
vehicle that also happens to be relatively practical, take a look
at this 2005 Chevrolet SSR. Decked out in what is believed to be
its original Aqua Blur Metallic paint, this muscle truck has just
76,735 actual miles on its odometer. Add to that the SSR's
retractable hardtop, and you have a vehicle that will turn heads
everywhere it goes.
Inside, we find a host of modern amenities that old-school hot rods
can only dream of. A black leather interior with custom tan seat
covers and door panels create a cool and unique two-tone effect.
Featuring dual power leather seats, power windows, locks, and
mirrors, along with an AM/FM/CD head unit, this cockpit creates a
warm and comfortable cabin with or without the wind blowing through
your hair. A power bed cover release, air-conditioning, cruise
control, and a center console highlighted by a three-pod auxiliary
gauge cluster all serve to make road trips of any distance
overwhelmingly enjoyable.
For 2005, the SSR got a big upgrade under that trick wedge-shaped
hood. Gone is the 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 from earlier years, and in
its place we find a Corvette-derived 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 engine.
Thanks to a lightweight aluminum block and heads, flat-top pistons,
and a healthy 10.9:1 compression ratio, this LS2 was capable of
pumping out an impressive 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of
torque when it rolled off the assembly line two decades ago. Those
ponies are routed through a heavy-duty 4L60E four-speed automatic
transmission before being sent out to the 3.73-geared Positraction
rear end, which transmits power to the pavement via a set of big
20-inch polished five-spoke wheels shod in massive 295/40R-20
rubber. At the same time, a smaller set of 19-inch wheels wrapped
in 255/45R-19 tires give this throwback pickup the perfect
staggered hot rod stance.
