2-OWNER, SOUTHERN TRUCK, 23K ACTUAL MILES, LOADED, EXCELLENT CONDITION IN & OUT!

The SSR was one of those great ideas at GM that took some time to perfect, uch like the Fiero, he Impala SS, nd the Cadillac Allante, nd once it was right, t was one heck of a truck. Most were babied, ike this one, nd there's an enthusiastic group of owners out there dedicated to keeping them in top shape, o you'll be in good company every time you take this one out.Ostensibly based on the Advance Design pickups of the late-40s, he SSR is perhaps the most unique blend of retro and modern we've had to date. Not merely a modern version of something old, ut an entirely new niche: is it a pickup truck? A muscle car? A convertible? Most would argue that it does all three things pretty well, nd wrapping it in the curvy bodywork with deeply flared fenders gives it as much eyeball appeal as a bright red Ferrari at 8000 RPM. This one wears bright red paint that was expertly applied to highlight the truck's retro profile, ecause, fter all, hat's more traditional than a red Chevy pickup? It's also got a set of running boards that only emphasize the retro look, nd it hasn't been over-dressed with accessories like so many of these running around at local shows. And with only 22,997 miles on the clock, t still looks very fresh in every sense of the word.Once you're inside the SSR, t's pretty easy to forget the pickup truck look, ecause it's more Camaro than Cameo from behind the wheel. Deeply bolstered black leather buckets grab you in aggressive cornering, hile a color-matched center console between them offers secondary controls and a big chrome shifter that's straight out of the '60s. Auxiliary gauges down low add to the muscle car vibe, nd the original instruments were clearly designed to recall those in the original Camaro with three deep, ound binnacles. The A/C is powerful, he stereo sounds awesome, nd there are few cooler feats of automotive acrobatics than the folding hardtop, hich disappears with the touch of a button. And instead of thinking of the rear area as a pickup bed, heck out the well-fitted black carpet, aking it simply the biggest trunk ever fitted to a muscle car.One quick blast down the road with your foot on the floor will convince you that this is, ndeed, performance vehicle. The 5.3 liter V8 was the only engine available in 2004, nd gives this truck its personality. Fast, ut docile, ith a raucous exhaust bark that doesn't get annoying, t's the ultimate modern small block. Chevy added a cool engine cover with a shiny SSR insert, ust to dress it up a bit, nd as we've learned over the past decade, hese engines are virtually indestructible. Linked to a slick-shifting automatic transmission and a heavy-duty suspension, t likes to hustle and will feel at home on your favorite twisty road as much as on the highway. Powerful 4-wheel discs and a bunch of electronic traction aids will build confidence when you're running hard, nd those massive 255/45/19 front and 295/40/20 rear Goodyears grip the road like flypaper.Documented with its original window sticker, his segment-busting convertible pickup definitely delivers big fun in a reasonably-priced package.
