Up for Sale is this one of a kind 2003 Chevrolet SSR in Redline Red with Ebony Leather interior.  It is offered by Bill Buck Chevrolet and I am Ben Lewis, the Pre-Owned Sales Manager.  It was traded in by the original owner on a new Chevrolet Equinox for his wife.  This truck has been his project from day one and the time, thought and money that has gone into this truck probably could not be duplicated for twice the price that we are offering it at!  I am going to do my best to describe what this truck is and am glad to answer your questions via email or phone.  I have several books of documentation including the original window sticker along with manuals and receipts for most of the upgrades including the Supercharger and transmission upgrades.

This SSR started life in Annapolis Maryland.  The previous owner ordered this truck fully loaded with the 1SB option package (heated seats, memory package, homelink transmitters, Bose sound system with CD), carpeted bed with wood trim accents, integrated running boards, bed saddle bags, towing package with trailer hitch, cargo net.  The total price was $46,490 in 2003 dollars and this customer paid well above that for the opportunity to have one of the first available in Red!  He never drove one at the time it was ordered.  When he picked up the truck, he was slightly unimpressed with 300 horsepower 5.3 liter V8 and immediately began drawing up the plans for what you are about to bid on!

Here is what I know has been done but I can tell you that there is probably a lot of little things that had to be completed to make the package work so well.  This truck runs and drives like Chevrolet built it this way!  Everything works including the air conditioning and all electronics.  There are no check engine or warning lights.  Our service department has inspected it and were impressed with the quality of the upgrades.  My best estimate from the receipts and my knowledge of the parts used puts the upgrades in excess of $10,000 without labor cost.  Here are the highlights:

Lowered Suspension (estimated about 1")
Magnuson Intercooled Supercharger (Roots Style)
Dynatech SuperMaxx Exhaust System w/Stainless Long Tube Headers
Comp Cams 525/532 Cam specifically for supercharged application
Phoenix Transmission of Texas / Transmission Upgrade to Original Unit

Upon completion of the upgrades, the truck was taken to a well known speed shop where it was tuned and dyno tested and recorded.  This truck puts 430 horsepower to the ground and 470 lb/torque at the rear wheels with an incredibly flat torque curve (440 lbs at the rear wheels from 2000 RPM  to Redline).  Needless to say, its a blast to drive and very streetable.  Just put the top down, turn on the Bose sound system and enjoy!

I am going to include three videos below.  I will let them speak for themselves.  Please note that I took the video and drove, so I apologize for its shaky quality as the SSR can be a handful!

 


Here are the rules for this auction and they are very simple:  This truck is for sale, and priced to sell!  We are not looking to appraise it so please bid only when you are ready to buy it.  If you need financing, please have it already lined up or call us to be pre-approved.  If you have questions or would like to inspect the vehicle, please email or call me.  I will do my best to accommodate all reasonable requests.  Transportation is the buyer's responsibility.  We are not a shipping company and do not give quotes for those services.  Sales Tax and License Fees are charged per Federal and State Law.  There will be a $399.00 Administration Fee added to the winning bid price to cover the cost of paperwork, lot prep, etc.  If you have questions.....Just Call or Email (we are glad to help). 941-493-5000 blewis@billbuckchevrolet.com.  The last and most important rule is this:  The truck is for sale locally and on our lot.  We reserve the right to end the auction early anytime UNTIL it meets reserve on this auction.  Once this auction is above our Reserve Price, we will only sell it to the high bidder.  NO exceptions.  Its the only fair way to handle this so everyone has a chance to buy.  So if you are serious, bid early and bid what you'll pay or you risk somebody walking on the lot and buying it before you get the chance!

2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible gets cleaner looks, improved refinement [UPDATE]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

UPDATE: We have live photos from the reveal. Scroll to the bottom of the story and check them out in the Related Gallery. Back in May, Chevrolet introduced a redesigned Camaro. Now, and not at all surprisingly, the Bowtie brand is showing off the latest Camaro convertible, based on the coupe that debuted on Belle Isle in Detroit. From the beltline down, this is the same car that was so well-received last month. But above the waist, there's an all-new, fully automatic canvas roof that can be raised and lowered at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. On top of that, owners will be able to drop the roof remotely by simply pressing a button on the key. Chevy does not, however, say if this new convertible roof is lighter than last year's top. The biggest change for the Camaro convertible, though, is something we've long yearned for – a proper hard tonneau cover that deploys over the folded roof. The current muscle car's roof fabric has the unpleasant tendency to flap in the breeze. The new droptop shouldn't have that problem, and will likely boast an even cleaner top-down profile to boot. Like the hardtop, though, the Camaro convertible does benefit from the same lightweight structure, that helps trim "at least" 200 pounds of body fat. It should also make use of the same powertrain lineup, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, and a 6.2-liter V8 with six-speed manuals or eight-speed automatic transmissions spanning the lineup. "From the beginning, the Camaro's architecture was developed to incorporate a convertible with uncompromised driving dynamics," Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser said in the attached release. "Customers will appreciate what they don't feel: quivers, cowl shake or an under-damped chassis typically found in a four-seat convertible." Increased refinement, a cleaner look, better driving dynamics and a more usable convertible roof? We're looking forward to you 2016 Camaro convertible. Chevy claims the new car arrives in "early 2016," which means we should plan on seeing this droptop at the typically cold and snowy Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the full press release from Chevrolet.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy teases Bolt driving range, China pursues EV subsidy cheaters

Tue, Sep 13 2016

Chevy is teasing the Bolt's driving range, which it is set to reveal on Tuesday. It will certainly be able to travel more than 200 miles between charges, but the second and third digits in that value, as it stands today, are still question marks. On its Facebook page, Chevrolet is asking fans to try to guess the official range. Of course, Tesla fans have already started posting their own snide remarks in the comments. Chevy fans are certainly hoping to see the Bolt's range eclipse that of Tesla's upcoming Model 3, which the California-based automaker puts at 215 miles. See Chevy's post on Facebook to make your own guess, or check back there (or here at AutoblogGreen) for the official number once it is unveiled. Fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden says it has signed an agreement with a Chinese company to make range extenders for commercial trucks. The unnamed Chinese customer has placed an order and signed a memorandum of understanding with PowerCell Sweden, and the partners will develop methanol reformer fuel cell range extenders for electric distribution trucks. "Our unique expertise in fuel cells and reformer technology is receiving an increasing attention worldwide and we are truly pleased to get another Chinese order," says PowerCell Sweden Sales Director Andreas Boden. Read more at Green Car Congress, or from PowerCell. China is accusing major automakers of violating EV subsidy rules. After the country's Ministry of Finance penalized five companies with fines and, in one case, revocation of production license for subsidy cheats, China has since named 20 more potential violators, including Nissan, Hyundai, JAC, and a subsidiary of BYD. Of the first five companies to be punished under the investigation, Suzhou Gemsea Coach Manufacturing is having its production license revoked, while four others, including a subsidiary of Chery, are being fined for about half of the subsidies received. The scandal is bad new for China's subsidy program, which has helped spur sales of plug-in vehicles. Read more from Fortune, or at Hybrid Cars.
