While classics from the 1950s and '60s certainly have their place at every car show and meet-up, occasionally, we come across a modern-classic that ignites our passion for all things automotive in a different yet familiar kind of way. One look at this red 2004 Chevrolet SSR, with its power-retractable hardtop and short bed design, and you can understand exactly what we mean. With just 74,979 actual miles on its odometer, this muscle truck's retro style looks just as good with its top up or down.
Inside, we find a host of modern amenities that old-school hot rods can only dream of. A stock black leather interior featuring dual power leather heated seats with a memory package, power windows, locks, windows, and mirrors, along with an upgraded Bluetooth-enabled JVC touchscreen infotainment system that even has an incorporated backup camera. A power bed cover release, air-conditioning, cruise control, and a center console highlighted by a three-pod auxiliary gauge cluster all serve to make road trips of any distance overwhelmingly enjoyable.
Under that trick wedge-shaped hood sits a naturally aspirated aluminum block and heads 5.3-liter Vortec V-8. From the factory, that small block could generate 300 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 331 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, which is then routed through a Hydra-Matic 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission featuring an overdrive gear to allow highway cruising to be equally calm and fuel efficient.
