Up for Sale is this one of a kind 2003 Chevrolet SSR in Redline Red with Ebony Leather interior.  It is offered by Bill Buck Chevrolet and I am Ben Lewis, the Pre-Owned Sales Manager.  It was traded in by the original owner on a new Chevrolet Equinox for his wife.  This truck has been his project from day one and the time, thought and money that has gone into this truck probably could not be duplicated for twice the price that we are offering it at!  I am going to do my best to describe what this truck is and am glad to answer your questions via email or phone.  I have several books of documentation including the original window sticker along with manuals and receipts for most of the upgrades including the Supercharger and transmission upgrades.

This SSR started life in Annapolis Maryland.  The previous owner ordered this truck fully loaded with the 1SB option package (heated seats, memory package, homelink transmitters, Bose sound system with CD), carpeted bed with wood trim accents, integrated running boards, bed saddle bags, towing package with trailer hitch, cargo net.  The total price was $46,490 in 2003 dollars and this customer paid well above that for the opportunity to have one of the first available in Red!  He never drove one at the time it was ordered.  When he picked up the truck, he was slightly unimpressed with 300 horsepower 5.3 liter V8 and immediately began drawing up the plans for what you are about to bid on!

Here is what I know has been done but I can tell you that there is probably a lot of little things that had to be completed to make the package work so well.  This truck runs and drives like Chevrolet built it this way!  Everything works including the air conditioning and all electronics.  There are no check engine or warning lights.  Our service department has inspected it and were impressed with the quality of the upgrades.  My best estimate from the receipts and my knowledge of the parts used puts the upgrades in excess of $10,000 without labor cost.  Here are the highlights:

Lowered Suspension (estimated about 1")
Magnuson Intercooled Supercharger (Roots Style)
Dynatech SuperMaxx Exhaust System w/Stainless Long Tube Headers
Comp Cams 525/532 Cam specifically for supercharged application
Phoenix Transmission of Texas / Transmission Upgrade to Original Unit

Upon completion of the upgrades, the truck was taken to a well known speed shop where it was tuned and dyno tested and recorded.  This truck puts 430 horsepower to the ground and 470 lb/torque at the rear wheels with an incredibly flat torque curve (440 lbs at the rear wheels from 2000 RPM  to Redline).  Needless to say, its a blast to drive and very streetable.  Just put the top down, turn on the Bose sound system and enjoy!

I am going to include three videos below.  I will let them speak for themselves.  Please note that I took the video and drove, so I apologize for its shaky quality as the SSR can be a handful!

 


Here are the rules for this auction and they are very simple:  This truck is for sale, and priced to sell!  We are not looking to appraise it so please bid only when you are ready to buy it.  If you need financing, please have it already lined up or call us to be pre-approved.  If you have questions or would like to inspect the vehicle, please email or call me.  I will do my best to accommodate all reasonable requests.  Transportation is the buyer's responsibility.  We are not a shipping company and do not give quotes for those services.  Sales Tax and License Fees are charged per Federal and State Law.  There will be a $399.00 Administration Fee added to the winning bid price to cover the cost of paperwork, lot prep, etc.  If you have questions.....Just Call or Email (we are glad to help). 941-493-5000 blewis@billbuckchevrolet.com.  The last and most important rule is this:  The truck is for sale locally and on our lot.  We reserve the right to end the auction early anytime UNTIL it meets reserve on this auction.  Once this auction is above our Reserve Price, we will only sell it to the high bidder.  NO exceptions.  Its the only fair way to handle this so everyone has a chance to buy.  So if you are serious, bid early and bid what you'll pay or you risk somebody walking on the lot and buying it before you get the chance!

Petrolicious visits a coachbuilt Corvette in Montana

Thu, Feb 11 2016

There was once a time when most anyone could take a car to one of the great coachbuilders of Italy and have it rebodied into something entirely original. That's what one Gordon Kelley did back in 1962. And it's the story that Petrolicious tells in its latest video. An industrial designer by trade, Kelley penned his own design for bodywork to cover his '61 Corvette, and brought it to Vignale (today owned by Ford) in Turin for realization. The stunning result became known as the Kelley Corvette. It appeared at major auto shows and graced the covers of magazines, and with good reason: as you can see for yourself, Kelley's design and Vignale's work came together beautifully, and have gracefully endured the test of time in singular fashion. Today the car's custodian is one John Breslow, based out in Montana – a state that not only doesn't require a front license plate (which would be a crying shame to mount in that front grille) but also has some of the highest speed limits in the country. Breslow likens the Kelley Corvette to "a Van Gogh you can drive." But even higher praise is that he actually drives it, which is no mean feat considering what else he has in his garage, from cherished classics like a Ferrari 275 GTB and Jaguar XKSS to modern Zagato coachbuilt specials like the Alfa Romeo TZ3 and Ferrari 550 GTZ Barchetta.

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war

Mon, Jun 4 2018

Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
