2004 Chevrolet SSR

Description

The 2004 Chevrolet SSR combined retro styling with modern engineering, offering a unique blend of pickup utility and convertible fun. Built on GM’s GMT368 platform, the SSR featured a retractable hardtop and a body-on-frame design derived from the TrailBlazer, giving it a distinctive silhouette. Powering the 2004 SSR is a 5.3-liter Vortec V8 producing 300 horsepower, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.

This example has undergone significant mechanical refreshment, including a remanufactured engine installed less than 2,500 miles ago and a rebuilt transmission completed by AAMCO in May 2025. The hydraulic system for the retractable hardtop has been fully serviced, with all hoses replaced, cylinders rebuilt, and a new hydraulic pump installed—ensuring reliable operation of one of the SSR’s most iconic features.

Finished in non-metallic Black over an Ebony leather interior, this SSR presents well with new tires installed in 2024. With 54,306 miles, this SSR offers a solid opportunity to own a modern classic with recent mechanical investment.
