Vehicle Description
57,740 original miles. One owner from new. Unmodified except
Flowmaster mufflers. New deCarbon shocks, new tires, refinished
wheels, nicely documented. The Impala SS you want to own: stock and
well-maintained.This fantastic Black Cherry 1995 Impala SS is
beautifully maintained and many fans would argue that Black Cherry
is the best possible color-less common than black and not quite as
odd as the blue/green. It has obviously never seen snow or salt and
that's 100% factory paint on its flanks, so you know rust and bondo
are non-issues here. GM's build quality on the full-sized B-bodies
was well above average and it seems that the guys bolting the
Impalas together took their time because this thing fits together
beautifully. Good gaps all around, doors that close with remarkable
precision, and no signs of the half-hearted workmanship that was a
GM hallmark for so many years. Despite the fact that it's
approaching its 25th birthday, this SS shines up beautifully and
looks wicked with its body-colored grille, small lip spoiler on the
trunk, and no-nonsense demeanor. If there's a better-looking big
sedan than this, I'd like to see it.All Impalas received a gray
leather interior that was pure traditional American luxury. Big,
wide seats, acres of legroom, and enough insulation to make the
outside world seem very far away. Buckets and a console were
standard, but the shifter was still on the column in 1995, so
there's useful storage space in the middle and it feels very
familiar when you slide behind the wheel. Digital gauges were still
a thing at GM, so you do get a digital speedometer flanked by
simple analog gauges around its perimeter. Everything GM could
imagine was standard equipment, including A/C (blows ice cold),
power windows, locks, seats, and mirrors, a tilt steering column,
rear defroster, cruise control, trip computer, and a
decent-sounding AM/FM/cassette stereo system. With so few miles and
great care over the years, the leather remains in first-class
condition and the padding underneath is still firm and comfortable,
making this the ultimate road trip machine. Of course, something
this big comes with a positively giant trunk, which is still
outfitted with its original spare tire that's never been used.You
couldn't get the LT1-derived 5.7 liter V8 in anything other than
the Impala SS, and that's why these cars are special. Big V8 torque
and a willingness to rev make the Impala feel smaller than it is
and thanks to decades of development, they remain bulletproof
reliable. They're also insanely easy to modify for more
performance, thanks to a booming aftermarket, but if you want one
that hasn't been screwed up by a backyard mechanic, look no
further. From the air cleaner to the exhaust manifolds, this one
remains 100% stock with only normal maintenance items replaced over
the years. And like any late-model fuel-injected engine, it starts
instantly, idles perfectly, and offers a big whack of low-end
torque to get off the line. Some of the greatness of its
performance is attributable to the 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission, which is durable and quick-witted enough to keep the
V8 spinning in its sweet spot, but with a deep overdrive, it just
loafs along on the highway. The SS also received a well-tuned
suspension that's almost an ideal blend of comfort and control,
featuring expensive deCarbon shocks, which have been recently
replaced on this car. You'll note that the stock exhaust system is
still intact, although the original mufflers have been replaced
with Flowmasters that sound good without ever getting too noisy-it
still cruises on the highway like a luxury car. 4-wheel disc brakes
with ABS were standard equipment and you can see just by looking
around underneath that this car has never seen any weather more
severe than a spring rain shower. It also carries original 17-inch
wheels, which were unique to the Impala SS and have been recently
refinished, along with a set of new 255/50/17 performance
radials.Documentation includes the original window sticker, owner's
manual, warranty booklet, and wallet key.These were cool cars in
1995 and this one cruises through traffic like a great white shark,
bigger and meaner than anything around it. It's awesome to see the
way traffic scuttles out of your way when you're hammering down the
highway. Better yet, it's supremely comfortable and serene inside
in the best tradition of American luxury cars. It's like having
your cake and eating it, too. Call today!Harwood Motors recommends
