1996 Chevrolet Impala SS

1996 Chevrolet Impala SS This black beauty brings a shudder to my mind. As a frequent speeder, Ive engrained the Impala shape in my mind that I need to slow down in anticipation it is not the Po Po awaiting my quick arrival to their radar in their unmarked cruiser, (the Impala). Now they patrol in anything, so that theory is gone by the wayside, however it still sticks in my mind! Here we have a 1996 SS, and its a 2 owner car purchased by our consignor in October 2018 when it had a mere 13,022 actual miles. Come 2023 and now gracing our Hallowed Halls showing a title verified low low 34,333 actual miles this car is ready to run just like its namesake. Add in some recent maintenance including a new Optispark, water pump, front seat covers, and new rear brake hardware and we have a sure fire winner. Exterior Beautifully straight all steel panels draped in deep gloss black base coat, and clear coat, are seen throughout this car. Virtually dent free, the cars exterior could be said to be in all but showroom condition with the exception of the bumpers which have been hastily resprayed due to clear coat fading issues. All correct badging, and neoprene body matching black bumpers are attached, even a black texture strip is on either side below the beltline. 17 cast aluminum wheels are seen all around wrapped in 255/50R17 black walls from the 5th week of 2022 and add some bright spots to the corners, otherwise its all menacing black. Interior Gray leather on a 6 way power, (drivers side), wide bucket seats in front, and a full bench in back shows in very nice condition. The front seats have recently been recovered and match the showroom fresh look of the sprawling rear bench. Between these buckets racing under the dash is a low profile gray plastic console that houses a small glovebox and the automatic shifter. A leather wrapped steering wheel, leather door panels, and gray padded dash are adorning the passenger compartment as well. All power conveniences, power windows, power steering, power brakes, power locks, and an updated AM/FM/CD stereo by Alpine but the original radio is included. Many of which the controls are at the drivers fingertips right on the big doors. Dont forget the trunk as its covered in felting and looks just fab! Drivetrain The 350ci LT1 V8 with a super smooth 4L60E 4-speed automatic automatic transmission takes you down the road in a breeze. It has EFI and a 10 bolt 3.08 posi rear axle. Overall, the engine bay is clean and has just a bit of corrosion on the cast aluminum parts, but all is clean. Our consignor notes that a new Optispark unit was recently installed along with a new water pump. Undercarriage Slight surface rust on the cast parts, otherwise like new undercoated stamped steel abounds for the floor pans. Independent coil spring suspension is on front, and a 4 link with coil springs on back. Power disc braking is on all 4s with new rear brake hardware provide the stopping and dual exhaust with the factory installed mufflers helps this galloping antelope exhale. Drive-Ability A quick starter and after a brief warmup, she ran great on the test track. Nice acceleration, bias free panic stopping, and all functions were working swimmingly. Our consignor notes that the check engine light came on during his drive to our Hallowed Halls, but this issue did not repeat itself for us during our drive. Seen here at Classic Auto Mall a very nice exterior, and a near showroom new all leather interior, fair engine bay, and underside, but a smooth quick starting engine, and almost undetectable shifting transmission, in combination with all the convenience options, offers a great combination! Runs like an impala, accelerates like a cheetah, and has the heart of a lion, can you say Serengeti Plain? Take a safari to our Hallowed Halls to have a look at this animal. 1G1BL52P5TR190958 1-USA G-General Motors 1-Chevrolet BL-Impala SS 5-4 Door Sedan 2-Manual Belts, Front Airbags P-350ci V8 LT1 260hp 5-Check Digit T-1996 R-Arlington, TX Assy Plant 190958-Sequential Unit Number Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 850 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles.
