| The
SSR is one of the new radical designs produced by
Chevrolet. It is technically a pickup truck, but
it is also a convertible. It is also a sports car,
capable of very high performance figures. |

| The
first year the SSR was made available for the public
was 2004. It did not sell very well, with just 9,000
going at the MSRP of $42,000. Supplies of unsold
SSR's backed up, and the Lansing Craft Centre factory
was closed for 5 weeks. GM announced that it will
close permenantly in mid-year 2006, spelling the
end of SSR production. This sports truck is powered
by a base Vortec 5300 5.3 L V8 making 300 horsepower.
The 2005 model got an upgraded LS2 V8 producing
390 hp. This is the same engine found in the Corvette
and Pontiac GTO. The 2006 model saw a boost to 400
hp and 405 hp (manual transmission). With low sales
and a powerful engine, I think this could be the
collectible car / truck 20 years from now. People
will not miss this sport convertible truck until
its gone, and then they'll wonder why they don't
own one. If you want to buy one, I suggest looking
on eBay online auctions, where you can typically
buy them for $5,000 off dealer or classified ad
prices. You can sometimes fine original and custom
parts for this vehicle, although they are fairly
rare. |
