Vehicle Description
If you missed your opportunity at buying a brand new example of one
of the last great full-size muscle cars, now is the closest thing
to a second chance. This 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS is a one-owner
car that has extremely low miles, which means it still looks fresh
everywhere from the slick black paint to the Corvette LT1
motor.
With only about 7k miles on the odometer, you know this Impala SS
came from a collector. He kept it as a local show car that would
get put to bed in climate-controlled storage. So it has the kind of
clean presentation where even the weather-stripping impresses. The
factory black paint has a piano-like luster as the light evenly
rolls off of the clean aerodynamic sheet metal. Everything on this
one is neatly preserved and in excellent condition, from the
urethane bumpers, to the slick body-colored "Impala SS" badges that
subtly adorn the flanks. And of course, everyone loves to see those
correct 17-inch alloys filling the wheel wells. So overall, you
have the kind of time capsule appearance where you may just try to
turn your garage into a Chevy showroom circa 1996.
The exceptional preservation continues inside. The Impala got a
nice upgrade over the standard Caprice in the form of gray leather
buckets and a center console. Best of all, the ultra-low mileage
means there wasn't even really time to put comfort marks in the
driver's seat. In fact, any few signs of wear are more likely just
the eventual aging of original pieces. After all, this has now
crossed the 25-year threshold, and that makes it eligible for
antique car registrations and benefits in many states. This is
loaded with the best features like power windows, power locks,
keyless entry, cruise control, a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo, and
ice-cold air conditioning. In addition, this one sports dual power
seats, automatic headlights, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror,
which were part of the Preferred Equipment Group. But more than
luxurious, the Impala SS is one of the final few performance
vehicles that has room for all your family and friends. But if your
plans for this are a road trip machine, you'd be the first. The
original owner utilized the ample trunk for a custom car show
display, not the family's luggage.
The Impala SS is a true legend thanks to the Corvette-derived LT1
V8. Take some time to look at the amazingly stock and clean
condition of the engine bay. It keeps its show-ready status where
the only additions we can even spot are a few added badges and
callouts that a motor like this deserves. But we wouldn't blame you
for looking at this shining sedan and thinking you need to add to
the low odometer. The LT1 barks to life easily, idles smoothly, and
pulls like a freight train. The four-speed automatic overdrive
transmission is smooth and always seems to be ready to leap into
action. The suspension has been upgraded over the Caprice to handle
the extra power with ease, and it comes with power steering, ABS,
four-wheel disc brakes, a limited-slip rear end, desirable de
Carbon shocks, and modern sport tires.
This one-owner cherished car comes with the original window sticker
and the owner's manual. You're looking at a second chance to buy a
preserved American legend. But if you wait, this opportunity could
be gone. Call today!!!
