While old-school classics will always have our hearts, we occasionally come across a modern classic that reminds us that hot rods can come from any generation. One look at this black 2004 Chevrolet SSR, with its power-retractable hardtop and short bed design, and you can understand exactly what we mean. With just 21,538 actual miles on its odometer, this muscle truck's retro style looks almost as good as new 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 Kenwood touchscreen infotainment system that even has an incorporated backup camera to go along with its AM/FM/Sirius/DVD options. 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 as comfortable as they are 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, when new, could generate 300 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 331 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, which is then routed through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission featuring an overdrive gear, and then on to a 3.73-geared ten-bolt rear end that transfers that power to the pavement via a set of massive 22-inch Helo wheels shod in wide 285/35R-22 Nexen rubber. At the same time, a smaller set of 20-inch wheels are wrapped in narrower 45/35R-20 Nexen tires to give this retro ride that classic staggered stance.
