Description

The Chevy Impala had always been a fun muscle car during its first several generations, beginning in the late 1950s, but as with most cars during the Gas Crisis, times got lean, and performance was relegated to an afterthought. However, when GM decided to resurrect this car into the 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS you see here, it became an entirely different beast altogether. This well-preserved car has just 42,456 original miles on it and has spent the last several years essentially in a bubble, waiting for a new owner to come along and get out on the highway for some serious driving. Original black paint still covers the original body panels, while the original window sticker, dealer invoice, service manuals, and maintenance records all corroborate the care and light workload this car has been privy to over its three decades of existence.

Under the hood we find the original 5.7-liter LT1 V-8, which in stock form produced 260 hp and an impressive 330 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the Corvette of the time, the Impala uses cast-iron heads (versus aluminum), and had its cam profile set for more low-end grunt than high-end horsepower. All those ponies are then herded through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the limited-slip rear where a 3.08:1 rear gear waits to put power to the pavement via the Impala's 17-inch stock wheels wrapped in 255/50ZR-17 BFG rubber.

Built only from 1994 to 1996, just 69,758 of them over three model years, this hi-po sedan was not long for this world before GM decided to shut down production. But, with an example with just 42,456 miles on it like this 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS we have for you, this is your second chance to get your hands on one. With just one owner, this car is about as stock as the day it rolled off the assembly line, and although it is hard to define what's 'cool' and what isn't, we sure know it when we see it, and this SS definitely has it in spades.
