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 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
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.
