This might be a cool car in as-new condition, but would you be willing to part ways with $61,000 for it?
- This is one of the last SSR examples ever built, and it has just 116 miles on the odometer.
- Due to its low mileage and pristine condition, the seller is asking for over $60,000.
- Power comes from a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 producing 400hp, paired with a six-speed manual.
Take a look around the current automotive landscape and it’s easy to see that there are exactly zero two-door convertible trucks for sale today. A few years back, however, the Chevrolet SSR—short for Super Sport Roadster—played in that space. Opinions on it now vary almost as wildly as those surrounding the Tesla Cybertruck. For anyone still interested in an SSR, this near delivery-mileage example might just be the best option available.
The SSR hails from an era when Chevrolet was doing all it could to capitalize on nostalgia and retro appeal. The Chrysler PT Cruiser was killing it, and Chevy wanted its slice of that pie. The HHR followed soon after and the Camaro just happened to start looking like its former self as well. The SSR was a bit of a halo vehicle, even starring in at least one memorable Chevrolet Super Bowl ad.

Now, it’s a tiny part of history and one of the extremely rare convertible pickups to ever make it to production. This 2006 example has only 116 miles (187 km) on the odometer. It comes standard with GM’s 6.0-liter LS2 V8, a six-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive.
As part of the final production run for the SSR, it also happens to have 400 horsepower instead of the previous model year’s 390 hp, and a rare bright chrome package. The stick shift version had a claimed 0–60 mph (96 km/h) time of 5.3 seconds.

Don’t expect to haul much of anything with this ‘truck’ though. According to Chevrolet, it’s capable of towing a maximum of just 2,500 pounds—hardly impressive by any standard. To add to the absurdity, the bed is adorned with decorative wooden slats, which most owners will likely think twice about scuffing.
This relatively rare package is now available through Max Motive for $61,000 – which makes it quite pricey. Despite its low mileage and provenance as a rare example, SSRs with this sort of mileage often command far fewer dollars. Over the last few years, the most expensive SSR sale on Bring A Trailer finished at just $47,000 in the height of the pandemic.
That said, if you can afford it, this might be the very best version of the SSR available on sale across the nation right now.
