2005 Chevrolet SSR

We already know the Chevrolet SSR is a future/modern classic. After all, it has V8 power, sports car handling, and a unique retro-style design that is impressive from the moment it comes into sight. But not all were created equal. Later examples, like this 2005 SSR came with the Corvettes fuel-injected V8, and a rare few also took full advantage of this power with a six-speed manual transmission. And because this was built to be a more performance-mined SSR, this one takes it up another notch with power upgrades that make it a 427 hp hauler! If youve ever been admiring Chevys classic Advance Design pickups of the 40s and 50s, then you instantly understand the appeal of the SSR. After all, this retro machine mixes the legendary curvy style with modern streamlining. And the gloss of the black paint does a good job of showing off these lines. As you look through the full package, youll see this one was meant to be driven, and so youll see some signs that this has hit the road. Not drastic, just responsible use. And what youll really be impressed with is how this has the true feeling of a custom sports car. The factory gave you some pieces that feel custom like the flush-fitting hard tonneau over a carpeted bed and bright alloys staggered 19/20 inches front/rear for an extra aggressive stance. Plus, you may have noticed that the suspension is lowered and the exhaust tips have gotten more aggressive, too. The SSR ensured its place in history with its cool convertible top. Touch a button and the trick folding hardtop disappears behind the seats, making this the coolest open-air truck since the Model A roadster pickup of the 1930s. But while this might look retro, the inside is anything but old-school truck basic. You have sculpted bucket seats finished in leather and a clean full black package that give this SSR a full midnight style inside and out. Theres a long list of features including power windows, power locks, power seats, power mirrors, dual front airbags, side airbags, power steering, cruise control, and keyless entry. Plus, with ice-cold air conditioning and heated seats, you can stay comfortable with the top down basically all year round. The Bose stereo has been upgraded to a nicely integrated Kenwood AM/FM/CD touchscreen unit that also houses the backup camera and Bluetooth. The 2005 model is an ideal year in the SSRs brief life. This was when Chevrolet added two key upgrades: the fuel-injected LS2 motor and a six-speed manual transmission... and this one has them both! And since this is a drivers SSR, the power upgrade goes even further. There is an upgraded air intake, headers, and a full X-pipe dual exhaust setup. Theres even a mild cam for that right street machine vibe. We have the dyno sheet that shows 427 horsepower, which is a about 10 percent increase over the LS2s already impressive stats. The Tremec six-speed lets you unleash the full fury of this high-performance pickup, and so this all-black SSR is a true midnight predator. Out on the streets, the four-wheel disc brakes and sports suspension with Hotchkis upgrades come together to deliver a modern muscle machine disguised as your favorite retro truck. The sale comes complete with maintenance records and the dyno sheet. This unique and enhanced machine is an awesome way to enjoy a modern classic. Call today!!!
