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 was unlike anything else on the road when it debuted, blending the styling cues of Chevrolet's iconic Advance Design pickups with the comfort of a modern roadster and the practicality of a retractable hardtop convertible. Equal parts pickup, muscle car, and cruiser, the SSR has become one of the most distinctive collector vehicles of the 2000s. This 2004 Chevrolet SSR LS has traveled just 54,523 miles and is finished in the exceptionally rare Ultra Violet Metallic over an Ebony leather interior. Reportedly one of approximately 1,000 SSRs produced in this striking color, this example combines rarity with desirable factory equipment and tasteful upgrades, making it a standout whether it's cruising downtown or turning heads at a local car show.
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 128,348 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 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 Chevrolet Chevelle became one of America's most recognizable nameplates during the 1960s, offering everything from practical family transportation to serious V8 performance. Introduced as Chevrolet's answer to the growing intermediate-size market, the Chevelle quickly established itself as a favorite among American motorists, with the Malibu serving as its more upscale and stylish offering. The 1966 model year brought a significant redesign, introducing the sweeping body lines, sculpted rear quarters, and distinctive styling that helped define the Chevelle's second generation. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible captures that era beautifully, finished in classic Tropic Turquoise with a matching Turquoise interior and contrasting White convertible soft top. Under the hood sits a 283ci V8 paired with a three-speed column-shift manual transmission, an increasingly uncommon configuration affectionately known as the "three-on-the-tree." With power steering, power brakes, and factory-style appointments, this Malibu offers a traditional American motoring experience. Showing approximately 34,122 miles, this turquoise convertible is an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity, character, and open-air enjoyment of a classic Chevrolet.
The Chevrolet Nova earned its place among America's most celebrated muscle cars by combining a lightweight, compact body with the performance potential of Chevrolet's small-block V8 engines. By 1970, the third-generation Nova had established itself as a formidable competitor in the muscle car market, offering straightforward styling and impressive performance without the larger dimensions of a Chevelle or Impala. This 1970 Chevrolet Nova Coupe builds on that heritage with a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, delivering the classic rear-wheel-drive muscle car experience. Showing just 7,739 miles, this example is finished in Shadow Gray Metallic over a reupholstered Black interior. Its SS badging, American Racing chrome five-spoke wheels, and Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires give it a distinctly vintage muscle car appearance, while an aftermarket sound system and additional instrumentation introduce a few modern conveniences. With its understated metallic finish, traditional small-block V8 power, and timeless Nova styling, this Chevrolet offers an appealing combination of classic American performance and enthusiast-oriented upgrades.
The Chevrolet Corvette has long been America's answer to European sports cars, and few generations have achieved the lasting recognition of the third-generation C3. With its dramatic Stingray-inspired curves, long hood, and unmistakable proportions, the C3 remains one of the most recognizable Corvette designs ever produced. By 1975, the Corvette had entered a new era, marking the final production year of the C3 convertible until its eventual return in 1986. This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible Restomod brings that classic design into the modern age with a 6.0L LS2 V8, a four-speed automatic transmission, and a selection of contemporary upgrades. Finished in eye-catching Bright Yellow with a Black interior and matching convertible soft top, this example features 16-inch Fuchs wheels, yellow-painted brake calipers, a Dakota Digital gauge system, and an upgraded Bluetooth radio. Showing just 54 miles on the odometer, this Corvette combines the unmistakable character of a classic American sports car with the mechanical upgrades and conveniences that make restomods so appealing to modern enthusiasts.
The 2013 Ram 1500 R/T Sport brings muscle-car attitude to a regular-cab pickup, combining the compact proportions of the short-wheelbase body with HEMI V8 power and the R/T’s more performance-focused factory equipment. Showing approximately 90,578 miles, this example is finished in Bright White over a Black Cloth interior and features the Sport/R/T Customer Preferred Order Selection Package, 4.10 rear axle ratio, 22-inch polished forged aluminum wheels, and Sport Performance Hood. The current owner also reports the addition of red R/T stripes on the hood, giving the truck an even more distinctive appearance while staying in character with its performance-oriented theme.
The 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SRT-10 represents one of the most unique performance trucks ever produced, combining the practicality of a pickup with the heart of Dodge’s legendary Viper supercar. Developed by Dodge’s Street and Racing Technology division, the SRT-10 transformed the Ram platform with an 8.3L naturally aspirated V10, aggressive styling, and performance-focused chassis upgrades. This example is finished in Viper Red with a Dark Slate Gray interior and features the desirable SRT-10 Performance Package, a 6-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and 20-inch SRT-10 aluminum wheels. Showing approximately 106,618 miles, this Viper-powered pickup also features a performance suspension system, sport exterior styling, rear bed spoiler, dual exhaust system, and limited-slip differential, making it a standout example of Dodge’s factory-built performance truck legacy.
