Exceptionally Low-Mileage Collector Example


The 2006 Chevrolet SSR was one of the most unusual vehicles Chevrolet ever put into production-a factory-built combination of a retro-inspired pickup, retractable-hardtop roadster, and V8-powered performance vehicle. This particular example is especially desirable thanks to its 3SS Preferred Equipment Group, extensive factory options, and just approximately 545 miles from new.

Finished in a striking metallic blue over a black leather interior, this SSR presents as the type of ultra-low-mileage example collectors search for. The odometer photograph shows just 546 miles, meaning this truck has essentially spent its life preserved rather than used as an everyday vehicle.

6.0L LS2 V8 Performance
By 2006, Chevrolet had transformed the SSR from a stylish cruiser into a legitimate performance vehicle by installing the 6.0-liter LS2 V8. The LS2 gives the SSR substantially more performance than the earlier 5.3-liter trucks while retaining the smooth drivability and reliability associated with GM's LS-series engines.

Power is routed through an automatic transmission to the rear wheels, making this SSR equally suited for relaxed cruising or enjoying the torque of the 6.0-liter V8.

Under the hood, the engine compartment remains remarkably stock and well preserved, exactly what you want to see in such a low-mileage collector vehicle.

3SS Preferred Equipment Group
This SSR was ordered with the highly desirable 3SS Preferred Equipment Group, a $3,200 factory option when new.

Additional factory equipment shown on the vehicle's option documentation includes:


3SS Preferred Equipment Group

6-Disc CD Changer Audio System

Driver Convenience Package

Auto-Dimming Interior Rearview Mirror

Auxiliary Gauge Package

Customized SSR Carpeted Floor Mats

Factory Towing Package

Soft-Side Saddle Storage

Cargo Netting Package

Upgraded Cargo Compartment Trim

Factory Cockpit Windbreak


The auxiliary gauge package is particularly distinctive, adding three satin-chrome gauges below the center stack for voltage, delivered torque, and outside temperature.

Retractable-Hardtop Roadster Design
One of the SSR's defining features is its power retractable hardtop, transforming the truck from a closed coupe into an open-air roadster at the touch of a button.

It remains one of the most ambitious roof designs ever installed on a production pickup, and combined with the flowing fenders, running boards, and short cargo bed, gives the SSR an appearance unlike virtually anything else Chevrolet has produced.

The exterior is complemented by factory chrome wheels, with the photos showing:


245/40R20 front tires

295/40R20 rear tires


The staggered setup gives the SSR the wide rear stance appropriate for its rear-wheel-drive V8 platform.

Factory Cargo Package
The cargo area is considerably more elaborate than a typical pickup bed.

This truck was ordered with the $895 Cargo Compartment Trim Package, which includes compartment trim, inner cargo-cover trim, and the distinctive simulated oak cargo strips running through the bed floor.

Also included are the factory soft-side saddle storage pieces and cargo accessories, giving the bed a finished, upscale appearance rather than a conventional utility-truck presentation.

A factory towing package was also specified when new.

Interior
The cockpit remains extremely clean and features black leather bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, metallic center-console trim, automatic climate controls, and the SSR's signature aluminum-style shifter.

The cabin carries the same blue exterior color onto sections of the center console, tying the interior and exterior together.

Other visible equipment includes:


Power windows and locks

Cruise control

Air conditioning

Factory audio system

Auxiliary gauges

Auto-dimming mirror

Leather bucket seating

Sport steering wheel

Metallic interior accents


With barely more than 500 miles showing, the interior presents far closer to a preserved collector vehicle than a typical 20-year-old SSR.

$45,325 Original Sticker Price

According to the factory option documentation, this SSR carried a base MSRP of $39,240 before options.

Notable charges included the $3,200 3SS package, $895 cargo trim package, $460 towing package, $350 windbreak, $225 saddle storage, $220 cargo netting package, customized floor mats, and destination.

The resulting original retail price was $45,325.

That documentation is particularly valuable today because it establishes exactly how extensively this SSR was optioned when new.

Collector-Grade Mileage
The biggest story here is the mileage.

With approximately 545 miles from new, this is not simply a clean SSR-it is an exceptionally low-mileage surviving example from the final model year of SSR production.
