Since 2003, the bold Chevrolet SSR has hypnotized truck lovers. Inspired by the classic design of 1940s trucks, the SSR wore sleek lines, bulging fenders, and large wheels. And its daring retractable hardtop was a breath of fresh air, effortlessly blending retro styling and cutting-edge technology into a modern performance truck.

Aside from new options including auxiliary gauges and chrome wheels, the 2004 SSR carried over unchanged from 2003. Its 5.3L V8 produced 300 horsepower, with a four-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. A capable independent front and five-link rear suspension complemented four-wheel disc brakes, while the rumble from a stainless-steel dual exhaust system gave the SSR some audible attitude to go along with its magnetic curb appeal. Motor Trend agreed, stating, “The SSR draws its share of smiles and thumbs up. It’s new and different, classically American fun to drive, and will be a popular date on cruise night.”

10,676 SSRs were built in 2004 — with only 1,273 reportedly finished in Ultra Violet like the example seen here. Showing just under 47,400 miles from new, this SSR was optioned with the auxiliary gauges, which further enhances its status as a highly desirable collectible.

This 2004 Chevrolet SSR is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Florida title.
