Highlights
THIS… is a 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, finished in burgundy with a gray and red interior.
- The attached Carfax history report lists no accidents in this sedan’s past.
- Factory equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 17-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and air conditioning.
- Modifications reported by the seller include burgundy exterior paint, red dye on the seats, a Kenwood CD player, and aftermarket parts in the sound system (including American Bass subwoofers).
- Sold between the 1994 and 1996 model years, the Impala SS was based on the B-Body Caprice of the same era. The “SS” nameplate denoted a Corvette-derived LT1 V8 with iron heads along with a revised intake and exhaust. The chassis featured the police package’s suspension system, De Carbon monotube shocks, a lower ride height, and huge disc brakes at all four corners.
- Power comes from a 5.7-liter V8, rated at 260 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
