Well... Now that it's gone I can speculate a little.....

Is it possible it is a 2011 1LT or 2LT Clone SS ???

Pretty hard to tell in a side picture except for the wheels and possibly rear air deflector.

If it was sold by a Dealer a call might reveal the vin number.
That could be converted to a build sheet.

I didn't see the OP reference it as a 2009 car. If it is, switchblade would be my guess. From the side, everything says it is a real SS and not a fake one.

OP may not have said it but I looked up the original ad. It said 2009. That color wasn't available on a HHR SS.

Edit: (What I meant was I had looked up that original ad back when it was still an active link. )

I guess we should accept that it was a custom Mocha Steel Metallic repaint.

Can't prove it but cannot not prove it.

OPs link, while dead, used search criteria which gave me this.
https://www.google.com/search?q=2009...hrome&ie=UTF-8

2nd search result gives the VIN, 3GNCA63XX9S640476 which, when searched, gives this Google cache(5th result)
http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=us

So it's Dark Gray Metallic.

Ok, so it was a 2009 model year , dark grey metallic . Solved? No because that is not an SS colour!
I still say respray it clone!

RJ_RS_SS_350 12-31-2017 09:20 AM

Agreed, it's not a stock SS color for that year, so it's either a respray, or couldn't it be a custom ordered color?

Here is another cached pic, sure looks like an SS, and the VIN backs up the claim.

Kunes Country is also a Buick/Cadillac/Chevy/GMC dealer, so it's possible that they listed the correct color.

If someone wants to keep pursuing this, I would recommend Googling the VIN periodically. When a car disappears from a website, it doesn't always mean it found a home. Often it just went to auction, and will be advertised again soon at the new dealer's site. Then you can contact them and get a pic of the RPO sticker, which will show the original color code.

No. You couldn't special order any other color than the stock ones offered on the SS.
I special ordered my SS. We even checked on different colors. (I really wanted to get a white SS)
My friend/manager at the dealer, who did my order, was told by GM there were no optional order colors for the SS.
