Now here’s an interesting curio from the Two Thousands. The Chevrolet SSR was a convertible pickup truck with a retractable hardtop! Produced over three short years from 2003 to 2006, this interesting pastiche of retro and modern styling cues saw 24,500 units made, and 24,112 were offered to the public. It came with a brawny V8 under the hood, of course, driving the rear wheels for that quintessential muscle truck experience. Now, we’ve got a 34,061-mile 2005 Chevrolet SSR for sale right now. Hailing from Deming, New Mexico, this truck is the perfect oddity for the discerning collector or petrolhead who wants to own something quirky, unusual, and above all, American.
Exterior and Interior
The Aqua Blur color worn by this 2005 Chevrolet SSR is fantastic for such a quirky oddity because it’s got a sort of color-shifting hue to it. Depending on light and viewing angle, it moves from a deep greenish hue to something close to the purple spectrum of light, and of course, a mid-blue. But that all pales in comparison to the truck’s retro-modern styling, single cab design and twin tailpipes at the rear. In fact, Chevy’s design inspiration for the SSR was the 1940s Advance Design series of trucks. Interesting features include staggered wheels, a body-colored tonneau cover for the truck bed, and of course, that power-retractable hard top. The interior of this 2005 Chevrolet SSR is a two-seat affair and comes with power windows, power door locks, power mirrors and air conditioning. You’ve also got a Bose speaker system and an upgraded Kenwood Excelon double-DIN head unit with AUX and USB inputs. The truck also includes a multifunction steering wheel, sport pedals and a metal gear shift knob.
Engine
Under the hood of this 2005 Chevrolet SSR lies a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 that was introduced to the line-up for the 2005 model year. The engine reportedly makes 390hp and is paired with a 6-speed Tremec manual gearbox. As you’d expect, rear-wheel drive is standard. Chevy says that the SSR in this spec can sneak in at under 6 seconds in the key 0-60 benchmark. Of course, you’ll look good and sound great doing so.
The Chevrolet SSR remains one of the most unique vehicles of the 2000s, blending retro-inspired hot rod styling with modern pickup practicality and V8 performance. This 2005 Chevrolet SSR LS is finished in striking Smokin’ Asphalt over an Ebony leather interior and shows approximately 36,000 miles on the odometer. Unlike earlier SSR models, the 2005 model year introduced the powerful 6.0L V8 paired with the highly desirable Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, transforming the SSR into a genuinely engaging performance cruiser. Combining a power retractable hardtop, muscular styling, and pickup utility into one package, the SSR carved out its own niche as a modern American specialty vehicle that continues to stand out nearly two decades later.
The 2006 Chevrolet SSR LS marks the final year of production for one of Chevrolet’s most unique modern vehicles—a retro-inspired convertible pickup that blends classic styling with V8 performance. With 55,947 miles, this example represents the last evolution of the SSR, benefiting from the more powerful 6.0L V8 and refined features introduced in later production years. Finished in Pacific Blue Metallic, it captures the playful yet muscular spirit that made the SSR a standout. As a final production run model, it carries added appeal for collectors and enthusiasts looking for something truly different in today’s automotive landscape.
What if we told you that Chevy made a coupe utility – basically a coupe styled pickup truck, stuck a V8 under the hood, and gave it a retractable hardtop for the passenger cabin for an extra measure of craziness? Yes, that’s precisely what the GM engineers did with the SSR. Produced between 2003 and 2006, just 24,112 units were sold to the public. Today, the SSR represents a curio that’s a sure-fire future classic, but also an example of what happens when you give automotive engineers and designers free reign to create something truly unique. This 2005 Chevrolet SSR is up for grabs in Lancaster, with a decent 128,000 miles on the clock. It’s a great choice for anyone seeking an SSR, because in 2005, the model got an upgraded 6.0-liter LS2 V8 that had 90hp more than the 5.3-liter unit installed for 2003 through 2004 units. This vehicle has that, plus a set of staggered painted aluminum wheels, and automatic gearbox, and infinite quirkiness.
The Chevrolet Advance Design series debuted for the 1947 model year and quickly became one of the most recognizable postwar truck platforms in America. This 1948 Chevrolet 3100 Panel Truck Restomod blends that unmistakable vintage styling with a variety of custom touches that make it stand out from a traditional restoration. Showing approximately 7,461 miles on the odometer, this panel truck presents a unique combination of patina-finished exterior character, upgraded interior appointments, and enhanced comfort features. Its spacious enclosed cargo body, custom interior details, and classic Chevrolet heritage make it an attention-grabbing cruiser that offers both nostalgia and individuality.
The 1956 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery is one of the most distinctive utility vehicles of the Tri-Five era, combining the iconic styling of Chevrolet’s passenger cars with the practicality of a commercial delivery body. Showing 70,077 miles, this example has been transformed into a well-executed restomod that blends classic 1950s design with upgraded performance and drivability. Finished in red over a beige interior, it benefits from a 355ci V8, a TH350 automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and a host of custom touches throughout. The result is a unique classic that retains its vintage charm while offering a more enjoyable driving experience for today’s roads.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible represents one of the most iconic full-size American performance cruisers of the 1960s, distinguished by Chevrolet’s coveted Super Sport package that transformed the Impala from a stylish family car into a more sporting and upscale offering. Showing 80,999 miles, this example is finished in elegant Almond Fawn Poly over a matching Fawn interior, showcasing the sophisticated styling that made the Impala SS one of Chevrolet’s most desirable models of the era. Powered by a dependable 283ci V8 paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission, it delivers the effortless driving experience that defined mid-century American motoring. Combining true SS pedigree, factory Super Sport trim and interior appointments, open-air convertible enjoyment, and timeless Chevrolet design, this Impala SS Convertible stands as a highly collectible piece of 1960s Americana that continues to attract enthusiasts and admirers alike.
The second-generation Dodge Ram helped redefine the heavy-duty pickup segment, and models equipped with the 5.9L Cummins turbodiesel remain among the most desirable diesel trucks ever built. This 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Quad Cab Short Bed shows approximately 110,637 miles and benefits from several enthusiast-focused upgrades, including a Banks Ram-Air intake, Edge performance tuning equipment, onboard air compressor system, and train horn.
