This is a fun SSR driver. It has been inspected and serviced by the local Chevrolet dealer. The steering is tight and I had four new Monroe lifetime warranty shocks installed. New belts and pulleys and water pump also. If you live in the Phoenix area, please feel free to take it for a test drive. I think you will be impressed. The hard-top convertible top works nicely. I drive it routinely and it runs very well and is dependable. Chassis and Frame The SSR's flared fender concept was borrowed from the 1947-1953 Advanced Design Chevy trucks. The new fenders are made using a process that combines contemporary forming technology with the method used to produce their vintage counterparts. The SSR incorporates a body-on-frame construction consisting of a unibody mounted on a hydroformed steel side rails. With seven cross members adding strength, the frame offers a better ride quality and provides better handling with less noise and vibration. Because of its combined unibody/frame design, the vehicle does not have the flex that is normally associated with a convertible. That provides additional safety and allows the truck to handle better. SSR Powertrain The SSR carries the 2004 version of Chevy's legendary small block 5.3 L V-8 engine. Since its inception in 1955, the engine has gone through many changes. This latest version is an all-aluminum engine weighing approximately 100 pounds less than its cast iron predecessors. Benefits of the aluminum substitution include: Cleaner emissions from faster catalytic converter heat-up Faster heater core warm-up Cooler piston and oil temperatures enhance durability Polymer coated pistons reduce engine noise and wear and contribute to better performance and fuel economy. The SSR uses an electronically controlled, 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Overall, the combination of engine, transmission and suspension makes the SSR a smooth boulevard cruiser that is also capable of tackling the curviest roads you can find. Does not burn oil. The body has mild cosmetic flaws in the paintjob, including insect marks on the front. Clean CARFAX. Comfortable, heated leather seats.This SSR is ready to drive and enjoy top-down cruising. Please feel free to arrange an inspection or test drive.
