a customer came into my shop today and had a 3rd generation trans am SSA does anyone know what SSA means? all he knew really about his car is its a v6 and its a 5 speed. . . i have never seen one or even heard of it just curious as to what it means.

 

I had seen one as well we were trying to tell the dealership it wasnt worth the 1500 they were selling it for. (the body was in crappy condtion.)

From what I have found out & I may be wrong but it sounded like it was a West coast special special thing.

In 1989 an option became available on base model Firebirds called the "Sport Appearance Package". This package was basically nothing more than the Trans Am front and rear bumpers with the Trans Am side gfx to make the car look more sporty. Early in 1989 when the package was first released some CA cars were called Firebird SSA's and Firebird XS's. The idea was to market these models in specific regions and they started out with CA. The model for the Sacramento area of CA was given the designation "SSA" while the model for the Los Angeles area of CA was called the "XS".
