4500 total SS built then 28% are manual. thats about 1300, then 5.2% are imperail blue so i think that would mean there is only about 68 imperail blue SS with manual tranny?? seems really low. i still havent seen another SS on the raod yet. a friend of mine from work called me last week to tell me he saw another SS near my work, it was black, i still havent seen it yet.

 

I see a silver one ever day here at work. We now have two SS in the parking lost and 7 HHR's.

Other than that I have only seen a few. A 5 of red ones. 3 black counting mine and one Orange one that I first test drove in May.

Word of warning please understand rare means little if there is no great demand. I expect that to happen as more people discover the SS.

Lets face it GM has done little to market these things.

It will be interesting to see what the 09 sales for the SS will be for a full year.

 

Hey Scott, I hope you've told all of the other HHR owners at Summit about our site! We really have to have a G2G there, maybe in conjunction with one of Summit's other large annual events?

Sorry, a bit off topic...

 

Which is why everyone who sees the SS says "what is this thing??".

 

Thanks for gathering the info and passing it along and please thank your sources. I also believe once the "secret" (performance, gas mileage, styling, convenience) starts to get out that the HHR and particularly the SS will prove to be real assets for Chevy.

 

Scott is an awesome person. I have had the privilege of meeting him in person and I even have a signed 5th Gen poster from him. Good guy!

 

Awsome! Thanks hyperv6 for digging this up and sharing it with us... G.B.

 

Not worried about value just glad with SOM being a 1 year run color for the SS (330 according to what you came up with) that we won't be seeing too many others around

 

It's possible that NJ didn't get quite as many as CA

Rare? Sure, but in the grand scheme of things, I wouldn't plan on cashing in on this 'rare piece of automobilia' for at least another 75 years or so.

 

These guys were nice enough to provide us some emissions, so if use that as a guide, it looks like California took 610 of them. Northeast took 669 of them. Looks like about 10 states are considered Northeast, so your odds don't look to good.

hyperv6: Please give these guys our thanks.. these are some pretty good numbers, definitely some interesting trends with the SS versus the rest of the HHR lineup.
