The
Cimarron Starlite Cruisers' Car Club proudly feature, great classic
vehicles, which belong to the good folks of Oklahoma.
The
April 2015 Great Oklahoma Classic belongs to Lloyd and Eileen Swanson of Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. We met Lloyd and Eileen
while attending the annual Del City Lions Club Car Show held each year at the
DCL Country Western Hall of Fame 3925 Southeast 29th Street, Del City, Oklahoma. Their rare Chevrolet SSR really gets one
"In The Mood" for some serious cruising!
Lloyd and Eileen’s
2006 Chevrolet SSR was only made for a short time beginning in 2003. The last
production run of this very unusual vehicle was the 2006 model year and this
vehicle was produced on February 15, 2006.
The
Super Sport Roadster was produced in Lansing Michigan on the GM GMT368
platform. Only a little over 24,000 units were produced from 2003-2006.
Lloyd’s
SSR was built with the Corvette LS2 V8 engine that produced 400 horsepower and a big 400
pounds feet of torque. Lloyd recently attended a National SSR Meet and had the
LS2 tuned for an additional 30 horsepower plus additional gasoline mileage. The
power is applied to the rear wheels through a very smooth overdrive automatic
transmission.
