Supercharged 2004 Chevrolet SSR Once Owned by Jerry Magnuson Heads to AuctionA custom 2004 Chevrolet SSR with ties to supercharger pioneer Jerry Magnuson is drawing attention at auction, where bidding has reached $19,161 with three days left and no reserve in place.Magnuson bought the retractable-hardtop pickup new and reworked it during his ownership, most notably by adding one of his company's Magna Charger superchargers to the 5.3-liter Vortec V8. The engine also wears Dynatech headers and breathes through a stainless-steel exhaust with a MagnaFlow muffler. Power reaches the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic and a Torsen limited-slip differential.The truck left the factory in Slingshot Yellow before receiving a two-tone repaint with ghost flames, work credited to Phil Westone of Miracle Design in Santa Ana, California. The build earned a four-page feature in a 2005 issue of Truckin'.Outside, the SSR carries a billet grille, custom stainless-steel trim spears, body-color running boards, a color-matched tonneau cover and the factory power-retractable hardtop. The carpeted cargo bed is trimmed with wood strips. It sits on a Belltech lowering kit with Bilstein shocks and rear-axle limit straps, riding on staggered Wheel Vintiques wheels—18-inch front and 20-inch rear—wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes handle stopping duties.AdvertisementAdvertisementInside, the cabin features heated, power-adjustable bucket seats in Ebony leather, satin chrome accents, a color-keyed console and SSR-embroidered floor mats, along with air conditioning, cruise control and keyless entry. SSR-branded gauges include a 140-mph speedometer and a 7,000-rpm tachometer.The odometer shows 24,000 miles, roughly 8,000 of them added by the current owner, who acquired the truck in 2006 and kept it in a private collection.
