Used Car of the Day: 2017 Chevrolet SS

I love the idea of the Chevrolet SS -- a big, rear-drive sedan with V8 power and a manual -- though the one time I drove one, I was a bit letdown.

Still, I sometimes browse for one on the used-car market. This one caught my eye.


This black-on-black model is apparently in good condition and has been stored in a warehouse. It's not stock, though -- it has Eibach lowering springs, a cold-air intake, and the buyer swapped the Chevy badges for Holdens. He or she still has the Chevy badges if you want them.

The seller also has all service records and says the car still has the original tires, wheels, and Brembo brakes.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Considered one of these when I bought a Mustang GT in 2016, but the SS was at least $10K more out the door. This guy is asking for more than what the car was worth when it was new.


    I wonder how many impossible-to-get parts it's going to need from Australia at this point. That was always enought to keep me away from the GTO and G8.

  • Dave Holzman You're right about that!
  • EBFlex It will have exactly zero effect
  • THX1136 What happened to the other companies that were going to build charging stations? Maybe I'm not remembering clearly OR maybe the money the government gave them hasn't been applied to building some at this point. Sincere question/no snark.
  • VoGhost ChatGPT, Review the following article from Automotive News: and create an 800 word essay summarizing the content. Then re-write the essay from the perspective of an ExxonMobil public relations executive looking to encourage the use of petroleum. Ensure the essay has biases that reinforce the views of my audience of elderly white Trump-loving Americans with minimal education. Then write a headline for the essay that will anger this audience and encourage them to read the article and add their own thoughts in the comments. Then use the publish routine to publish the essay under “news blog” using Matt Posky listing the author to completely subvert the purpose of The Truth About Cars.
