anyone got any idea how many ss s/c's were made per year of production? i was just wondering if i have a collector car to be... i know they have been discontinued but are there gonna be 08 models as the last year or did i get the last year 07?

cooljake73

belowradar

I believe there is a 08' coming out! Bcuz when I purchased my SS the dealership told me that the 08' where coming soon and if I wanted to order one the color I wanted and all that great stuff! Also there was a link on here yesterday talking about the last year of the Cobalt will be in 08'. But I do not know how many were made.

I thought I heard somewhere that GM isn't releasing production numbers on the car...I know sometimes for some cars you can get a detailed breakdown, all the way down to interior/exterior combinations, which would be sweet...but I haven't been able to find one.

There is no 2008 Cobalt SS Supercharged unfortunately..... The 2007's are the last for now.

dude, no 08 ss/sc coming out, seriously guys its on like 10 thread topics

07 SS/SC

Sigh THERE IS A 08, just no ss/sc or SS for that matter, it will be called a sport.

As for production numbers, some guys got pretty far by calling some GM reps and talking to them, they had the 05's pretty well dialed in and were working on the figures for 06's. The 07 numbers are not going to be out for some time I would asume.

No one was talking about the Cobalt in general the whole discussion was about the SS Supercharged which does not continue past 07. But anyway, I'll see if I can find the numbers but I doubt I can find a breakdown that is model specific.

07 SS/SC

Sorry I was talking about ss/sc's I should have made that clear!

Cobalt and collector car in the same sentence? Bwhaha. The SS/SC is as close to being a collector car as iPods are a rarity.

anthonyS88

i mean in the not so near future if you can read cirrus, i said collector car to be

not so funny now huh

nybull05

when i bought mine two years ago i was told they made about 4200 ss/sc and that was 2005

KillerBee

There will not be no more cobalts out untill 2010 they will return and i have seen the new LSJ engine

Onyxd04Redline

Way more then IRL's made.

KillerBee

Cirrus

when i sold cars, we were selling between 3-8 a month. (ss s/c's)

Yeah, if you keep it for 20 years it might be worth as much as what you paid for it new! But by then $1 will only be worth ten cents so I don't think it would be worth it.

Actually it would be just like collecting anything else, a gamble.
If you watch the auctions you see that the cars that get the big money are the really special ones, the super high-quality, super rare ones. And they have to be perfect, low miles and all stock parts. But even a nice, average '67-69 Camaro gets probably $20K these days, but it is 40 years old.

We are going through a strange period right now too. In the 60s and 70s engines just got more and more powerful until the bottom fell out about '73 or so. It has only been very recently that the production cars have caught up to the power levels those muscle cars had back then. And now there are a lot of 50+ year-old rich guys paying big bucks to buy those cars they couldn't afford as kids, that is what has driven the prices up.

But right now we are in a trememdous upswing in the automotive world. Cars are getting more power, better handling, better braking better gas mileage, better everything than ever before. So what will we be driving 20 years from now and will people be looking back at an '07 Cobalt SS/SC and saying "wow that was a great car"? I don't know.

But 4200 (or whatever) a year is not a lot of cars. Some of them have been totalled already and I bet 10 or 15 years from now there won't be very many around. And the SS/SC is the top-of-the-line model with all the options so it will be the most collectible.

Maybe in 20 years we'll all have personal jetpacks and helicopters in every garage and won't need roads anyway. People may stop driving cars because they are just too slow and too much hassle. Who knows?

Just my opinion. Your experience may differ.

The new "LSJ" is not going to be one since it will be turbo.

djcasper_bpm

well lets start to count. i have one. how many do you have?

LSJinTN

very true...

will it still be delta platform tho?

DrPuttsSS/SC

Could you explain yourself a little better there? 2010 is going to be the last year for all Cobalts. Gm will replace it with a newer model in 2011, everyone knows that.

And if you have seen the new LSJ why don't you tell us about it? Where and when did you see it? What size is it, what kind of power does it put out?? Or are you just smoking something?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I've spent hours on the web trying to find out how many SS/SCs were built but no luck (trying to figure out how many came with the G85 package). IMO the SS/SC may be a cheap collectors car....I'm hanging onto mine in any case. Not many engines producted came from the factory with a supercharger.
