Hey all,
Calook1967 here from North of Raleigh NC. We recently sold our beloved baby 2006 Silverado SS that had 40,000 on the clock and was NEVER used as a truck. So now after 50 years of driving we are considering a "Fun to Drive" and possible classic. Went and viewed a 1964 GTO Convert. last evening and decided it wasn't the right match for us. It was optioned to the extreme (PW, P/seat, A/C and on and on) but just not for us. So we are also considering an SSR. Looked at a corroded 2004 but didn't like it either. So I would love to learn about the FACTORY two tone cars. Were they just in the FPR or were they available before? And anyone know of a clean Blue one w/ manual trans for sale? Help me learn, PLEASE. And THANK YOU.

Yes, the factory two-tones are all '06 FPRs, however there are a number of SSRs out there that have been two-toned by their owners. There are even a couple two-toned with vinyl wrap.

You said manual trans so that precludes prior to '05.
You said Blue, presumably Pacific Blue, so there were I think 532 Blue SSRs built, 145 of them were FPRs, and 20 of the Blue FPRs were manual transmissions.
There were 29 Blue/Silver, Silver/Blue, or Blue/Black FPRs built, but I don't know how many manual transmissions in those.

Happy hunting.

Blue/Black????? I would LOVE that!
I found a black over silver auto FPR at a dealership but it has a salvage title.
Not that its out but I'd like to know more of the salvage reason. I'm hoping
he calls me soon.
UPDATE! He sent a video of the car that was so shaky and blurred I couldn't tell what he videoed.
I wrote back to him and he ignored me. Oh well, His loss.
Thanks
Dave

There are Hundreds of SSRs advertised for sale now.

Shouldn't be a problem finding the one you like.

Some advice from an "OLD GUY" SSR lover.
The most important part of owning an SSR is THIS GROUP RIGHT HERE !
not a club, NO MEMBERSHIP DUES.
NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS AT ALL.
THE FAMILY HERE IS WONDERFUL AND

when you go to your first MEET you will be amazed !

.

The SSR is the MOST fun vehicle I ever bought !!!!

Edit:
We are both correct.
The numbers I listed were factory totals.
The numbers you listed were FPR totals.

Not all Two Tones are FPRs.
