2005 Chevrolet SSR LS

If you're looking for a great-looking, fun, fast, and uncommon vehicle that also happens to be relatively practical, take a look at this 2005 Chevrolet SSR. Decked out in its believed original Torch Red paint, this muscle truck has just 67,038 actual miles on its odometer. Add to that the SSR's retractable hardtop, and you have a vehicle that will turn heads everywhere it goes. Inside, we find a host of modern amenities that old-school hot rods can only dream of. A stock black leather interior featuring dual power leather seats, power windows, locks, and mirrors, along with an AM/FM/CD head unit, creates a warm and comfortable cabin with or without the wind blowing through your hair. A power bed cover release, air-conditioning, cruise control, and a center console highlighted by a three-pod auxiliary gauge cluster all serve to make road trips of any distance overwhelmingly enjoyable. For 2005, the SSR got a big upgrade under that trick wedge-shaped hood. Gone is the 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 from earlier years, and in its place we find a Corvette-derived 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 engine. Thanks to a lightweight aluminum block and heads, flat-top pistons, and a healthy 10.9:1 compression ratio, this LS2 was capable of pumping out an impressive 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line two decades ago. Those ponies are routed through a heavy-duty 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the ten-bolt rear end, which transmits power to the pavement via a set of big 20-inch polished five-spoke wheels shod in massive 295/40R-20 rubber. At the same time, a smaller set of 19-inch wheels wrapped in 255/45R-19 tires give this throwback pickup the perfect staggered hot rod stance. HIGHLIGHTS: * 67,038 Actual Miles * Torch Red Paint * Retractable Hardtop * Short Bed * LS2 V8 * 4L60E Four Speed Auto * Ten Bolt Rear * Four Wheel Power Discs * Power Steering * Power Windows * Power Locks * Power Mirrors * Power Seats * AC * Cruise * Owner's Manual Despite having a curb weight about a keg and a half short of 5,000 pounds, this 2005 Chevrolet SSR could run from 0-60 mph in a scant 5.5 seconds. And thanks to its body-color rear tonneau-covered bed, those kegs, or just about anything else, can fit nicely in back. While produced for only four model years, the Chevy SSR cast a brief but shining light on the autoverse, offering an incredibly unique, retro-modern muscle truck that proved hauling could mean more than one thing. If you want to feel what it's like to sit behind the wheel of a V-8-powered droptop truck, then don't wait another second. Call today!
