2005 Chevrolet SSR

Description

This low mileage and loaded 2005 Chevrolet SSR is the exact kind of future classic you want. After all, it's the larger V8 model done in a bold package, and the whole car/truck has been treated with the best care.

The SSR was from a short run when Chevrolet dared to give us a dream car. They took the iconic front end and pronounced fenders of the post-WWII Advance Design trucks and re-imagined it for a new century. The factory created one of the sleekest packages around that included the integrated tonneau cover over the cavernous trunk, sport mirrors, and flush rear end. It has terrific sporty details with the aerodynamic front end, rear spoiler, and nicely integrated dual exhaust tips. Plus, those polished wheels have a staggered size so you can have large and wide ones on the rear drive wheel, just like a Corvette. Of course, the hallmark of the SSR is the awesome roofline has a sleek round look when in place. And jaws will drop as you show off the power folding hardtop mechanism that makes this all-American look more sophisticated than a German import. And no matter if you go with the roof up or down, the Slingshot Yellow retains a showroom level of shine to really make sure all eyes are on you.

One big reason to drive around with the top down is the quality of the interior. The black looks awesome against the yellow, and that waterfall of color in the center is also reminiscent of a Corvette. This example has averaged less than 1,300 miles annually, and it came loaded from the factory. That's the kind of combination that delivers a comfy machine you're going to love. It includes great modern amenities, like power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, dual front air bags, side airbags, power steering and a Bose AM/FM/CD premium stereo. Plus, the leather seats are heated and you have modern R134a air conditioning. So you and your passenger can stay comfortable with the top down no matter if it's a crisp fall evening or noon in the summertime.

This is a pivotal year in SSR's short run. The V8 was upgraded to the 6.0-liter LS2 unit. This fuel-injected powerhouse offered a healthy boost in power. So it's great to have the numbers-matching motor still looking so fresh and clean in the engine bay. In fact, the Corvette comparison continues, because this motor is related to the one you got in a C5 Corvette! The four-speed automatic transmission is a stout unit built to handle this V8's power, and at the same time, it provides silky smooth shifts all the way into overdrive. So while this was built to look like a truck, this also was made to drive like a muscle machine. That's why you have tubular control arms on the rear suspension, rear sway bar, four-wheel power disc brakes, and Falken performance tires.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet and touch-up paint. This is the bold modern classic that has been treated with a ton of respect. So you know you need to get your hands on it right now. Call today!!!
