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.
