The SSP was generation 1 which began in 1990 and generation 2 began in 2005, so it looks like 1990-2004 unless they had no performers for a time period.

For $80, I'd get it if it is in good shape.  I have an 1997 red SSP & I like it.  Haven't used the gas assist yet because I just have used a charcoal chimney, but I've only had it since right before Christmas.

It's not just a grill, it's a WEBER

That one has some issues. It's missing the side panel and lid bale, and it looks like the front handles on the cart were cut off. That said, I would  pick it up if it were closer.

Missing the charcoal bin too.
But if the bowl and lid look good I would still grab it to drop in a different frame.

Is that blue duct tape on the lid rim? I also like how the bungie board securing the regulator and tank matches the bowl color.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

I wasn't looking for a blue performer when I got mine. I wanted green. But now that I have it and see that it isn't as common I'm glad I went with it. For $80 if the bowl/lid are good it's worth it for those alone.

Thats a Taco handle on the Lid.  Not "Stock" for an SSP of that era.   I swapped out a black SSP with GA for a new Blue warranty swap with a local Grill fella last fall.  The New BLUE in the OLD frame looks spectacular.  For 80 bucks... I'd offer 60 and run... :D  Just sayin'

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...

Nah, look again, that's a period-correct lid thermo. (And the curved white handle puts that somewhere around 2000-2004.)

Bottom line, it's gonna cook just fine... 8) Good deal.
Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.
