A 2005 Chevy SSR With 19,807 Miles: Priced Right or Pure Nostalgia?

A 2005 Chevy SSR pickup truck is up for sale at $39,995, and it's not your typical hauler. 0-liter LS2 V8 making 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.

The seller, a dealer, says the truck has a clean title and just 19,807 miles, describing it as running, driving, and looking new. The exterior is silver with a red pinstripe, and the interior is black and silver. It includes modern comforts like air conditioning, power windows and locks, a CD stereo, and airbags.

Unlike the original work trucks that inspired it, this SSR is more about show than utility. Its folding hardtop and sporty drivetrain make it a cruise-night favorite. Notably, Richard Hammond picked an SSR for The Grand Tour's "Eurocrash" and later bought it, taking it back to the UK despite its left-hand drive and wide body.

The question is whether this low-mileage, well-equipped SSR justifies its $39,995 price tag, especially when compared to other purely recreational retro vehicles like the Plymouth Prowler. Buyers will have to decide if the fun factor is worth the cost.

The listing appeared on Craigslist in Vermont, with a tip credited to RevUnlimiter. The vehicle is being evaluated as part of a series where readers vote on whether a price is a good deal or not.
