2004 Chevrolet SSR

Description

With its blacked out style, V8 power, and open-top cruising appeal, this 2004 Chevrolet SSR is instantly attractive. So grab a seat in the loaded interior and get ready for all eyes to be on you as you drive one of the most distinct factory creations ever.

We love the SSR because Chevrolet proved that there were enthusiasts in their ranks. They took one of the most iconic pickup styles and gave it the full hot rod treatment. So the 1950s-style curvy fenders get an extra sleek makeover for a design that's made to be longer and lower than your grandpa's farm truck. This one goes for an added touch of attitude with the deeply tinted windows and factory alloys painted black with cool red bow tie centers. It makes for a sinister package that allows features like the retro-cool grille and well-integrated tail pipes to stand out boldly in contrast The headlights, tail lights, and door handles are all sleekly mounted to the body like a frenched custom pickup. And speaking of sleekness, not only does the round roof give this a smooth profile, but this hardtop also folds away into a storage well with a flush-fitting cover. And when combined with the tonneau over the rear bed, you have the look of a true custom roadster.

The black interior looks good against the black exterior. It makes for a blackout style that's both intimidating and sophisticated. Part of the refined attitude is because of the long list of features. It includes leather upholstery, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual front airbags, side airbags, ABS, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with speakers by Bose. There's also cold-blowing air conditioning and heated seats so you and your passenger can stay comfortable when the top is down. And this one loves to be a great cruiser. The driver's seat is power adjustable and has memory settings. You have a sports steering wheel with essential controls, a tilt column, and crisp gauges in sporty round pods. The overall impression you'll get from this SSR is it's a useful classic. It looks good out on the road, and nothing is too fancy that will stop you from even daily driving it. Plus, the truck bed has been given a rugged liner so you can carry rear cargo. In fact, you notice the full-size spare - a handy feature that's not standard on an SSR.

The key to the SSR's performance is a 5.3-liter V8. This fuel-injected motor is related to GM's truck line, which means a robust attitude. There are plenty of performance upgrades available for those who want to take it to the extreme, but with 300 hp from the factory, it already has that ideal setup for impressive power in all conditions. And it feels like an all-around solid cruiser with a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, four-wheel power disc brakes, and a suspension that's the right mix of sporty and highway-ready comfort.

The SSR was an instant classic because Chevrolet made a low-batch specialty vehicle for us real fans. We will likely never see anything else like it ever again, so grab it now while it's still within reach. Call today!!!
