GM Media
Chevy has announced plans to auction 23 of its Chevy Signature Series Super Sport Roadsters (SSRs). This group of unique SSRs have been used this year to launch the new vehicle. The SSR Signature Series vehicles carry VINs ending with numerals 000001 through 000025--they are the first 25 saleable SSRs produced.

Kruse International will offer 18 of the SSRs through eight of its collector car auctions. Chevrolet will auction one Signature Series SSR through a GM-sponsored dealer auction in each of the division's five US sales regions. After the auctions are complete, Chevy will donate a portion of the proceeds to a charitable organization.

General Motors plans to keep SSR VIN #1 as part of its historic collection. GM donated VIN #2 to the Society of Automotive Engineers Foundation. It was used as a fundraiser for the Heinz C. Prechter Scholarship for Automotive Excellence, and brought $137,850 on ebay.

Unique Pedigree & Content

All 25 of the Chevy SSR Signature Series vehicles are identical in appearance and content. For the past year, they've been involved in high-profile activities around the county. Each vehicle comes with a collectible documentation that describes where it's been during the promotion. Read more about the SSR Signature Series.
