Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this 1996
Chevrolet Impala SS for sale. This Impala SS is Black with grey
leather interior. In the early 90s full size muscle cars were a
thing of the past. GMs special vehicles team received an order to
develop a car based on the full-size Caprice platform. They took a
black Caprice with the 9C1 Police Package, added five-spoke wheels,
dropped in the LT1 V8 from the Corvette, dressed it with Impala SS
badges which GM had not used since 1969, and created an instant
classic. Its LT1 was slightly different than the Corvettes 300 hp
version, with 2-bolt mains, cast-iron cylinder heads and a
different camshaft. It was rated 260 hp in the Impala with 330 lb.
Ft of torque. With beefy anti-roll bars, large 17-inch tires and
big 12-inch disc brakes they also handled and stopped incredibly
well for their size and weight. The same critics that had been
bashing the Caprice now had only praise for the full-size muscle
car, from its performance to the comfort of its front bucket seats.
Acceleration is smooth, without hesitation or lag. There is no
pausing for a gulp of breath when you step on the pedal. The 5.7
wants to run. But it is the suspension that really sets the Impala
SS apart. The front suspension has steel-alloy springs and a thick
sway bar, it is the same one that is in the Caprice. The rear
suspension, with its gas shocks, steel springs and sway bar, is the
same as Chevy's police package. It is the suspension that makes
Impala a handling Beast and sets it apart. This Impala SS is
equipped with air conditioning, AM FM with CD, power brakes and
power steering, power windows and power locks, tilt wheel and
cruise control, dual airbags, keyless entry, power mirrors, alloy
wheels and radial tires. To view this 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS in
