1995 Impala SS
Car History
In 1994, a new Chevrolet performance car, the 1994 Impala SS, went
into production. It was, in essence, a high-performance version of
the Caprice heavily based on the Caprice 9C1 police package.
As such, it got much of the equipment formerly available only to
law enforcement and government agencies including a sport-tuned
suspension with reinforced shocks and springs, a high-capacity
reverse-flow cooling system (derived from the Corvette's LT1),
four-wheel disc brakes, transmission cooler, dual exhaust, a
higher-output electrical system, and other minor mechanical and
electrical alterations.
1995 was the second year of production and we have one here at
Adventure Classics in Dark Cherry Metallic, one of the only three
colors they came in.
Engine & Drivetrain
The Impala SS is a true legend because it came with the famous
Corvette LT1 V8 engine making 260 horsepower and 330 lb�ft of
torque that looks factory stock and clean in the equally clean and
detailed engine bay.
The LTI Impala engine has cast-iron cylinder heads instead, a
camshaft that was designed more for low-end torque than high-end
horsepower, and the block casting for the Impala LT1 had two-bolt
main bearing caps while the casting used for the Corvette LT1 had
four-bolt main bearing caps.
Our Impala SS was fitted with a standard 3.08 gear and limited-slip
rear differential and the suspension was an inch lower and the
transmission is a 4L60E which was an electronically controlled
version of the previously hydraulically controlled 4L60.
It comes with power steering, ABS, four-wheel disc brakes, a
limited-slip rear end, desirable de Carbon shocks, and factory mag
wheels with black sidewall sport tires
Interior
This is loaded grey factory twin bucket seat interior with the best
features like power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise
control, a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo, and ice-cold air conditioning,
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.
Exterior
The factory Dark Cherry Red paint on ours was a first year option
and looks very deep and shiny in the light and evenly rolls off of
the sheet metal. Everything on this one is in great condition, from
the urethane bumpers, to the body-colored Impala SS badges that
adorn the flanks.
Our Impala SS received body-colored trim, a unique single-bar
grille with no hood ornament, and a rear deck spoiler.
Conclusion
If you missed your opportunity at buying a brand-new example of one
of the last great full-size muscle cars, this 1995 Impala SS the
closest thing to a second chance.
