1996 Chevrolet Impala

1996 Chevrolet Impala SS Sedan

An instant classic... just add gas. We have a 38,081 title verified mile, single family owned since new 1996 Chevrolet Impala with 350 cubes of seriously worked, boosted, and sprayed LT1 power under the hood, snazzy 17-inch Rozzi wheels, and lots of consignor added touches including a killer stereo system. MultipleSuper Chevy show wins including a best in class and a Wildwood, NJ best overall win for the 4 doors to keep it all unassuming, and an aero design creates this suburban piece of go go driveway candy. No wonder law enforcement ordered these by the ton! Here comes the Popo...YIKES!

Exterior
All rounded off and aero looking and all bathed in very sinister and very deep end of the pool black. A 4-door sedan with a kick for the family who looks to travel in comfort, style and above all... speed. But wait, adding to the allure are racy purple ghost flames that lick rearward from cowl induction hood and front fenders and the entire car has been ceramic coated to ensure the deepshiny will last. With beautiful prancing Impala badging throughout and a custom horizontally ribbed billet grille, all paint and trimmings are in fine condition with well minded gaps and a small spoiler on the trunk lid to boot. Add on some dark chrome flip flop tinted windows and custom 1 off tinted tail lights and you\'ll be the belle of the ball. To make you stand out in the crowd 17\" polished Rozzi wheels have been added and for a little extra the window sticker is included. A shout out to the trunk which contains not only a nitrous oxide bottle, but also the heart and soul of the killer sound system includingtwin Eclipse amps, side mounted speakers and a Jensen mobile video system.

Interior
If you have a penchant for things slightly modified then slide into this interior and enjoy. Factory gray leather in clean condition abounds on the inside. Bucket seats in well preserved condition provide the view of what\'s to be seen from the canted forward windscreen and dividing the buckets is a long smooth console with added LCD gauges on the forward section and a nice gray padded armrest/console lid topper toward the rear. In the back is a long bench stretching from door to door and appears to have been sat in little or at all. The original dash, very clean and crack free, is in front showing the factory gauge cluster and a smooth black panel. Aftermarket gauges occupy the driver\'s A-pillar and in front of the passenger down low is a Paxton Paxta-Map Fueler. In the center, we see the heater and A/C controls as well as a fold out Eclipse AM/FM/CD stereo. A factory steering column fronts the dash and has the factory leather wrapped steering wheel and airbag in the center. The door panels remain stock with a mix of smooth gray vinyl, gray carpet and gray plastic inserts for both the control panel and door release, power lock, and power mirror inset. Slightly smudged but very nicely preserved light gray carpet below, and a perfect headliner in gray is floating above.

Drivetrain
Opening the cowl induction hood in our patented Classic Auto Mall photo booth and we were overwhelmed with the tubing, wiring and hoses routed throughout the engine bay. A built and worked 350ci LT1 with an Eagle rotating assembly, Lunati camshaft, double roller timing chain, port matched cylinder heads with all Crane valvetrain components, and a port matched intake add up to create our consignor stated 500+hp. A Paxton SN2000 supercharger along with a bigger throttle body assist in creating those numbers as does a nitrous oxide system. It is backed up by a monster built 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission in a stock case that isequipped with a shift kit and aftermarket torque converter. On the way back is a 10 bolt 3.73 geared Positraction rear axle. Eye candy abounds under the hood in the form of many polished components, supple hoses, and a MSD ignition system.

Undercarriage
Mostly LIKE NEW! Very slight surface rust but all wonderfully clean floor pans and suspension parts. Power disc ABS brakes with an added line lock brings this cruiser to a safe stop and independent coil spring front suspension and a 4 link with coil springs is on the rear to keep this antelope sure footed. Our consignor notes that Hotchkiss 3\" lowering springs have been added along with Hotchkiss tubular rear control arms. SLP headers rain down from the mill and connect to a 3-inch exhaust that steps down to 2.5-inch pipes before passing through Pypes mufflers and making their exit under the rear of the car.

Drive-Ability
A slip inside the gray leather and after a quick fire up, this car exhibited rocket-like acceleration, great handling and can cruise at high speeds all day without even breaking a sweat. The only thing sweeter than the sound from the engine is the killer stereo/video system, but I did not take the time to watch Breakfast At Tiffany\'s for the 59th time.
