2005 Chevrolet SSR Six-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Huntsville, Alabama — or “Rocket City,” as we know it — is home to NASA rocket-propulsion research and development. Nothing quite encapsulates the launch and excitement of the region as this out-of-world collection of cars including movie cars and tributes, desirable classics, and a rocket truck itself. 3… 2… 1… These cars are ready for blastoff, and all will be launched to new homes and garages as all lots are presented with NO RESERVE.    *  *  *     The 2005 Chevrolet SSR (Super Sport Roadster) is a unique blend of retro styling and modern engineering. Introduced as part of Chevrolet's lineup from 2003 to 2006, the SSR was designed to evoke the spirit of the late-1940s “Advance Design” trucks, particularly the 1947-1955 models. 

Built on the GM GMT368 platform, the SSR features a retractable hardtop, which transforms the SSR from a coupe to a convertible in just 25 seconds. The flared fenders were created using an innovative stamping process called Inverted Toggle Draw, which eliminates stretching of the steel during manufacturing. 

 Under the hood is an LS2 6.0-liter V8 engine, producing 390 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a four-speed automatic or optional six-speed manual transmission, delivering a 0-60 mph time of approximately 7.5 seconds. Inside, the SSR offers leather bucket seats, a six-way power driver seat, and a four-way power passenger seat. The interior design combines comfort with a sporty feel, including features like a multi-function steering wheel and optional auto-dimming mirrors. 

The 2005 Chevrolet SSR is an example of Chevrolet’s willingness to experiment with design and engineering, and 7,279 of the unique trucks were built that year.
