This two-owner, non-smoker, California, 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS is as close to new and perfect as you will find, with less than 9,300 miles on the car. Hagerty Insurance just listed the 1996 Impala SS as one of the five most cool and collectible four-door sedans going. To quote Hagerty, “Until the late and much-lamented Pontiac G8 came out, this was the last rear-wheel-drive GM sedan to lust after. The stock Caprice was a bit of an awkward exercise with its aero design and faired rear wheels. Fat tires, cool alloy wheels and a properly radiused rear-wheel arch did wonders for the Impala SS, as did the 5.7-liter LT1 V-8 that made 260 hp in the SS. The few good ones that remain are becoming sought-after collectibles.” This Impala SS is one of the few good ones. This 1996 Impala SS boasts a perfect Carfax report and a perfect VinAudit report. The Chevrolet Impala SS stands as one of the most recognizable names in American automotive history. While the car's status was built during its original incarnation in the 1960s, Chevrolet brought it back in many subsequent iterations. The 1990s Impala SS mounted a Corvette engine in a full-size Caprice sedan body and offered a large performance machine unlike anything offered by its contemporaries. The Impala SS is powered by a Corvette-sourced naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V8 engine. The 16-valve LT1 engine has a 4-inch bore, 3.48-inch stroke and a 10.5 compression ratio. This motor generates 260 hp at 5,000 rpm and 330 foot-pounds of torque at 2,400 rpm. The LT1 engine is mated to General Motors' 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission. The 1996 Impala SS sits on a 115.9-inch wheelbase with an overall length of 214.1 inches, a height of 54.7 inches and a width of 77.5 inches. The vehicle's 4,180-lb. curb weight rides on a front track of 62.3 inches and rear track of 62.7 inches. The cabin of the Impala SS provides seating for up to five passengers. Front headroom measures 39.2 inches, while rear headroom is 37.9 inches. Legroom upfront is 42.2 inches, while the rear offers 39.5 inches. The cabin provides for 63.4 inches of shoulder room, front and rear. Hip room in the front measures 57 inches, while rear passengers are treated to 56.9 inches of hip room. In addition to the Corvette-sourced motor and a heavy-duty gearbox, the Impala SS features many other characteristics that set it apart. The SS variant is equipped with standard 17x8.5-inch rims and limited-slip rear axle. Other adornments unique to this model included a monochromatic paint scheme, body color molding and special SS grill and badges. The interior of the Impala SS features a floor-mounted shifter, sport bucket seats with a full-floor console and an analog tachometer and speedometer. This 1996 Impala SS has spent its entire garaged in California. There is not a ding or scratch on the surface of this car and it looks as good as the day it drove off the lot. The Impala SS comes with all of its paperwork from day 1, including the window sticker, all maintenance records, smog certifications, owner’s manuals, sales brochure and every piece of correspondence from Chevrolet. This Impala SS is finished in the rare Green-Gray Metallic with Gray leather interior. An opportunity like this one occurs very rarely. This would make one phenomenal addition to any collection.
