If you mean the SS with AA5 half panel , yes only 199 were built.
216 full panels.

The bimbos might make it very desirable.

Never heard of a factory boost/wastegate upgrade.

Same here.
But I haven't messed around with any bimbos in the last 25 years.

Never heard of a factory sway bar either. I had to buy an aftermarket one like everyone else who wanted one.

There's something about bimbos and squeezers, but I will keep it G-rated. Craigslist is so full of ... interesting info.

Maybe he means the swaybar up in the rear axle beam!
bimbos I believe translates to Brembo brake package.
I have never seen the Bose stereo system in an HHR, just the optional Pioneer seven speaker system

If he's quoting that craigslist ad accurately the seller is misrepresenting the car... I'd walk away if it were me.

Allegedly the SS was part of an "estate sale" listed with another classic car. I didn't get a chance to get to the sale event then searching it showed up separately. Thanks for the additional info you guys provided here.
I think it smells like a fish at this point also...
