2004 Chevrolet SSR

Description

The 2004 Chevrolet SSR is a bold V8-powered street machine, and so it deserves a bold color package like this. And as you dig deeper you see that this is a low-mileage and loaded modern classic that that's as comfortable as just about any daily driver that could be offered for even twice the price.

The wild Ultra Violet Metallic paint is a great distinct factory color. It's high-gloss finish loves to let the sunshine show off the retro-cool curves in the fenders, hood, and that special folding hardtop. There are even nice touches, like the factory tonneau hiding the large carpeted trunk/bed and the optional running boards. This truck/car has been enjoyed over the years, but with it averaging only about 1,700 miles annually, you know it wasn't part of the daily grind. So it's the kind of vehicle, you can own, show, and drive with pride.

The black interior looks awesome against the purple exterior. Just to remind you of that, there's a waterfall of color all the way from the hard tonneau that flows through the center console. Low mileage means little time wear in the interior, and so the black looks deep and rich everywhere from the carpeting to the leather bucket seats. Not only does it look great, but also this is loaded with your favorite modern features, including cold-blowing air conditioning, heated seats, power windows, power locks, power seats, power mirrors, cruise control, and a AM/FM/CD stereo system with Bose speakers that fills the cockpit with sound at any speed. 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 '30s. But while this might look retro, the safety features are modern with everything from front and side airbags to anti-lock brakes.

The key to the SSR's performance is the fuel-injected 5.3-liter V8. This motor is related the GM's truck line, but it also has some lightweight performance characteristics, which seems like the perfect blend for this pickup/roadster. There are plenty of performance upgrades available for those who want to take it to the extreme, but with 300 hp already on tap, it would be a bit of a shame altering a car that's been so carefully maintained all its life. Turn the key and it starts instantly; the idle is smooth; and the dual exhaust hums around town like a Camaro with a bed. The four-speed automatic transmission was built to be both quick for down-shifts and also offer overdrive comfort. A well-done sports suspension, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Goodyear performance tires are all part of a package that keeps this retro ride a great modern cruiser.

This is the most collectable late-model Chevy around. It's fast, fun, and unique. Now is your time to get this future classic while it's irresistibly affordable. Call today!!!
