Vehicle Description
When a unique V8-powered machine was finished in a factory
all-black package, you know it has the right makings for an instant
classic. So when this 2005 Chevrolet SSR is also a loaded,
low-mileage machine, it delivers an irresistible total package.
The SSR practically defines retro-cool. After all, the Advance
Design series trucks on which this design was based is one of the
most sought-after for customization today. And even the best of
those bespoke classics can't get the sleekness you see here. After
all, the only thing more rounded than the SSR's fenders is the
hardtop roof. It's a factory black machine, and since items like
the tonneau over the bed were even part of the design, the whole
vehicle has a sleek and uniform look. And with less than 40k miles
on the odometer, this one has led a charmed life where it was only
taken out for special occasions (a car cover even comes with the
sale.) In fact, it was ordered with some stand out features, like
running boards and polished alloys. Plus, the addition of the gold
pinstripe running down the sides and over the wheel wells shows
someone had a careful eye for added style.
The SSR's big calling card is the cool action of the power folding
hardtop that compactly tucks within itself and then disappears into
its own covered storage without a trace of the roofline. So with
the touch of a button, you get to choose between a sleek coupe-like
appearance, or you can have a roadster pickup. And the black
interior means this one continues its full midnight appearance even
when you're open to the world. Not only is the color-combo
tempting, but also is the long list of luxury features. It starts
with two high-back leather bucket seats that power adjust to give
you and your passenger the ideal comfort position. And with the
optional seat heaters and cold-blowing factory air conditioning,
you can easily get comfortable during open-top motoring almost any
time of year. You've also got power windows, power locks, power
mirrors, power steering, cruise control, keyless entry, and an
AM/FM stereo with CD changer and premium Bose audio. There's plenty
of modern safety, too, with front airbags, side airbags, and
anti-lock brakes. While the covered and locking bed is large enough
to carry really big stuff, it's beautifully finished with carpets
and wood. In fact, it's really just an extremely spacious trunk,
and this one even has locking side storage.
This 2005 model represents a pivotal year in SSR's short run. The
motor was upgraded to the fuel-injected 6.0-liter LS2 unit. This
gave the SSR a boost to 390 horsepower, and this special motor
looks quite stock in the tidy engine bay. So it has the right look
for a collectable. The four-speed automatic transmission is a stout
unit made to handle this V8's power, and at the same time, it
provides silky smooth shifts all the way into overdrive. So while
this was built to look like a truck, this also was made to drive
like a muscle machine. That's why you have tubular control arms on
the rear suspension, rear sway bar, and four-wheel power disc
brakes.
This all-black SSR is a modern classic that has all the best
features for you to enjoy today, and also has the uniqueness to
keep it desirable down the road. Call today!!!
