Classic Car Overview
The final year of the legendary B-body platform produced one of Chevrolets most iconic modern muscle sedans, and this 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS represents one of the finest examples youll likely encounter. Finished in timeless Black over Gray leather, this exceptionally well-preserved Impala has covered just 25,685 original miles from new and has had only one previous owner during its nearly three decades of careful stewardship.
From the moment you see it, the level of preservation is immediately apparent. The paint retains a deep, glossy finish, the leather interior shows remarkably little wear, and every indication points to a life spent being carefully maintained, properly stored, and enthusiast-owned. This is the kind of Impala SS that collectors search for but rarely find.
Adding just the right touch of personalization is a tasteful upgrade to Ridler 17 x 8-inch chrome aluminum wheels wrapped in Nitto 255/50ZR17 performance tires. The combination complements the cars aggressive factory styling while maintaining its clean, period-correct appearance.
Documentation accompanying the sale further reinforces this Impalas outstanding history and provenance. Included are:
Original factory Window Sticker Copy
Original Owners Manuals in the glove box
CarFax report documenting its two-owner history
A detailed maintenance notebook chronicling its care and service
Perhaps the best testament to this Impalas condition comes from its current owner, who recently completed a 500-mile Impala club road tour. The trip was described as completely trouble-free, with the car performing flawlessly from start to finish-a reminder that this is far more than a showpiece. It is a properly maintained, confidence-inspiring grand touring sedan ready to be enjoyed exactly as Chevrolet intended.
Powered by Chevrolets legendary 5.7-liter LT1 V8 backed by the proven 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission, the 1996 Impala SS delivers effortless highway cruising, abundant torque, and the unmistakable character that made these cars instant classics. As the final evolution of the rear-wheel-drive full-size Chevrolet performance sedan, the Impala SS has become one of the most collectible American performance cars of the 1990s.
Whether your plans include local cruise nights, regional club events, weekend road trips, or simply adding an outstanding low-mileage example to a growing collection, this Impala SS is ready to exceed expectations.
Finding a final-year 1996 Impala SS with only 25,685 original miles, outstanding documentation, tasteful upgrades, exceptional cosmetic presentation, and proven touring reliability has become increasingly difficult.
Preservation is immediately apparent.
