2005 Chevrolet SSR in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

If you missed your chance at the 2005 Chevrolet SSR pickup/convertible the first time around, here's one last opportunity. This example has been babied all its life, and so the bold paint still has a showroom shine. And even the mileage is so tantalizing low, it's almost like you get to go back in time and pretend our showroom is the Chevy dealer.

It's not hard to see why this SSR would end up a prized possession. After all, it was basically like Chevy built you a custom car. With just 9,843 original miles, it's bone stock and ripe for stashing away for posterity. Now that over a decade has passed since production ended, we can really begin to appreciate how the SSR blended the iconic Advance Design pickups of the 40s and 50s with modern fender flairs and an aggressive stance. And with a color like Redline Red, this one really does look like your favorite muscle machine. In fact, the deep factory gloss of the paint and the shine of the pristine chrome alloys will make some people swear this is a custom build. It's this mix of retro pickup and factory hot rod that keeps this SSR grabbing attention even when you're just on a milk run.

And just like the best muscle cars, you've got a deep black interior complementing the red exterior. And, of course, it's all just as nice as the exterior, because ultra-low mileage also means very little seat time. But while the appearance is quite retro, the features are quite modern. More Corvette than pickup truck, the interior has sculpted leather bucket seats, a color-matched center console, and every luxury GM could dream up. Features include power seats, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, keyless entry, and a thundering Bose AM/FM/CD stereo system 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. Plus, with ice-cold air conditioning and heated seats, you can stay comfortable with the top down nearly all year round. The safety features are modern, too, with everything from front and side airbags, to anti-lock brakes. While the covered and locking bed is large enough to carry really big stuff, it's beautifully finished with carpeting and wood. In fact, it's really just an extremely spacious trunk that holds everything and is fun to show off.

While all SSRs are V8-powered, not all were created equal. During the limited run, a later model like this received the 6.0-liter LS2 V8. This numbers-matching, fuel-injected powerplant was shared with the Corvette, and so the 390hp represented a 30% upgrade in power over the previous year. In fact, with four-wheel disc brakes, grippy Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires, and a suspension built more for handling than hauling, this retro pickup is really a sports car in disguise. But just like the Corvette, this SSR is also great for the grand tour. The four-speed automatic transmission has highway-friendly overdrive and you even have cruise control. So while the mileage is exceptionally low, we know you won't be able to resist adding more to the odometer.

Complete with owner's manual and reproduction window sticker, this is a true survivor that gets appreciated more and more every day. So if you missed your first opportunity at an SSR, the next best thing is available right now to the first one who grabs this deal. Call today!!!
