Vehicle Description
Right here is one uncommon yet classy cruiser. On the lot now is
this 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, and Coyote Classics is pleased to
present it to you for your consideration. This thing cruises like
no other, and with a factory-installed Corvette LT1 engine this
thing will also make some noise while it does so. In addition, this
SS comes with lots of modern amenities in addition to having that
old-school rear-wheel drive, body-on-frame excitement. Produced
from 1994 to 1996, the Impala SS was, in essence, a
high-performance version of the Caprice 9C1 police package. As
such, it got lots of the equipment usually available only to police
and government agencies. This included a sport-tuned suspension
with reinforced shocks and springs, a high-capacity reverse-flow
cooling system (from the Corvette's LT1), four-wheel disc brakes,
transmission cooler, dual exhaust, and other minor alterations.
Powered from the factory by a Corvette-derived LT1 fuel-injected
350 C.I. V8, this Impala SS sure does move. Torque from the LT1
gets to the rear end through a 4-speed automatic transmission,
delivering nice and linear power. This specific SS has a gorgeous
"Cherry-Burgundy" paintjob, shining beautifully over a body that is
nice and straight. While the Impala SS is a tire-smoking undercover
cop, it is a big comfortable sedan at heart. Open one of the doors
and there are miles of space inside, which is telling because this
is one sports-sedan that will eat up the highway miles without any
stress to its driver. Options on this big SS include power seats,
windows, 4-wheel disc brakes, locks, mirrors, steering, airbags, a
power key-fob, factory A/C that blows cold, cruise control, a
tilt-steering wheel, and a mean-sounding dual-exhaust system. The
car rides on some unique, SS-specific factory 5-spoke aluminum
wheels on top of some Kumho Ecsta tires. With a big naturally
aspirated V8 engine, an automatic gearbox, and rear-wheel drive,
the recipe for the Impala SS is very simple. However, that recipe
works. What you get here is one hell of a sleeper, one that would
look wonderful in any driveway it sits in. However, we think it
would look especially good in yours.
