It was given to me in 2003. Most of the upgrades were done from 2007 to 2009 with both performance AND reliability in mind. Since 2010 it has been kept inside a garage and used mostly on weekends. It's had synthetic oil from the beginning. All the mechanicals are sound: the engine is smooth and very powerful, and the suspension / steering upgrades make this 2ton+ beast surprisingly wieldy. A discerning eye will notice some nicks and scratches on the body and parts of the interior that are no longer new. The car is both fully functional as is, and a good candidate for very minor restorative work by the dedicated hobbyist. Mrimpalasautoparts.com and Streettrendsinc.com will have all you need. The 94-96 Impalas harken back to a bygone era where rear-wheel-drive, solid steel frames, and V8 engines were the norm. Before traction controls and heated steering wheels, and before computers and tiny engine bays made it impossible for a man to work on his own car.
