2003 Chevrolet SSR in Houston, Texas

Vehicle Description

For sale in our Houston showroom is a first model year, 2003 Chevrolet SSR. Chevrolet went with a retro design for the Super Sport Roadster. They styled the vehicle like a truck from the 1950s with an unmistakable rounded hood and bulging fenders. Its body-on-frame architecture comes courtesy of the GMT370 (TrailBlazer/Envoy XL) hydroformed-steel platform, which is shortened 13 inches yet retains its stock width and track. Related hardware includes a live axle out back, independent suspension up front, and four-wheel disc brakes. The steel body panels are all new and pay obvious homage to the highly sought late-'40s/ early-'50s Chevy pickup. Although, something a truck from the 1950s didn't offer is the beautifully engineered power folding metal top. With the touch of a button you can go from hard top to no top in just a few seconds. Another option that wasn't available in the 1950s is the LM4 Vortec V8 under the hood. The stock LM4 pushes out 300 horses and is an all-aluminum 5.3-liter Vortec. The exterior of this one is coated in a bright red while the interior offers black leather. With just 29,000 miles, this SSR still smells new. This SSR is a combination of sorts; a modern classic sports car and stylish truck with a drop top. As unique as this car is, we feel as if it makes for a great investment. If you crave power, smoothness, and dandy exhaust-pipe music, it's hard to beat a GM Gen-III V-8. Chevy claims 0-60 times in the mid-seven-second range, confirmed by an informal stopwatch; top speed is electronically limited to 125 mph (also confirmed). Options include: AC, power top, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, remote entry, AM/FM/CD, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and passenger/driver airbag.
