For Sale: 2006 Chevrolet Impala in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2006 Chevrolet Impala SS Sedan

"Despite the antics of the overwhelmed tires, hard acceleration still leaves the driver giddy - at least for the first few runs. We certainly can't argue with this kind of performance from a family sedan - there's that 0-to-60 time of 5.6 seconds, the quarter mile turns in 14.2 seconds at 101 mph, and the ungoverned top speed is 154 mph. Much to our surprise, the SS turned out to be 0.1 second faster from 0 to 60 and in the quarter mile than the identically powered but 132 pounds lighter Grand Prix GXP we tested last fall." Car and Driver, June 2006

For consignment, a 2006 Chevrolet Impala SS sedan with a title verified 12,632 actual miles. Less than 20,000 SS's were produced in 2006 and you've probably seen one on the street, but don't bat an eye as this sleeper gives off the ultimate commuter car vibes.

Exterior
More than 8,000 Impala SS left the factory in Black paint and even in 2006, the aging W-platform presented as a run of the mill Impala. But those in the know will seek out the badging afforded all sides but absent from the grille, and the special wheels, 18-inch five spokes inspired by the Mercedes S600 and wrapped in beefy for the class 235/50R18 tires. There is also a rear wing here, and the iconic Impala badge on the C-pillars, a nod not only to the model, but heritage associated with the mid 90's sedans. Finally, dual exhaust peek out from the valance and a mesh grille fills the front; the radar of car lovers will pick up these cues and recognize the somewhat mythical SS. Imperfections are few on this well preserved example and include inclusions, small chips, and some light surface scratches.

Interior
Open up this time capsule to find formed plastic door panels, handsomely configured and with some simulated wood trim on the fronts. Turning inward, you'll find the optional black leather seats with SS embroidered onto the headrests and a rear bench and all seats present in excellent condition. Up front, the wood colored trim breaks up the Ebony palette and adds some pedestrian warmth while the leather wrapped steering wheel fronts a simple instrument cluster made a touch more vibrant with red highlights. A plastic forest also surrounds the center cluster where you'll find the AM/FM/CD radio and GM's standard A/C panel for the time. A simple and elegant shifter lives in the console over charcoal carpet and weather mats, all in great shape. A sunroof and its console are on the ceiling along with a formed headliner, gray and clean. The trunk and its gray panels are showroom pristine.

Drivetrain
Here's the magic sauce in this recipe; a 5.3 liter LS4 V8 putting down 303 horsepower and mated to a 4T65E 4-speed automatic that keeps power to the front wheels through 3.29 gears. A clean shroud exclaims "Displacement on Demand" and the bay itself is in spotless stock configuration.

Undercarriage
Chrome tips come at the end of the single exhaust that splits towards the end and runs through original equipment the whole trek. Power disc brakes are on all four wheels and suspension is composed of Macpherson strut and coil spring with trailing arms on the independent back. The SS is equipped with special anti-roll bars not found on mere mortal Impalas.

Drive-Ability
No surprises here as this low mileage car from 20 years ago feels fresh and tight. Obvious power underfoot, a clean and comfortable interior, and a car where everything onboard functions exactly how intended. The car is on its original tires so new ones are in order unless you're displaying this car at a museum. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Because of their functionality and relative invisible status, SS's were used as daily drivers, so to find one in this condition out of the 20,000 produced, is a rare occurrence indeed! This is one stealthy performance sedan that has flown under the radar for years. Now, at 20 years old, their uncommonness is sure to prompt collectability.
