Dealer's description
Few American performance sedans have earned the cult following enjoyed by the 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS. Reviving one of Chevrolet's most celebrated nameplates after nearly three decades, the modern Impala SS transformed the humble B-body sedan into a muscular, rear-wheel-drive performance cruiser powered by Corvette-inspired V8 performance. Developed from the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 police package, the Impala SS featured aggressive monochromatic styling, lowered sport suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, limited-slip differential, and the legendary 5.7-liter LT1 V8 producing 260 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. The 1996 model represents the final and most refined year of production, benefiting from the addition of an OBD-II engine management system, floor-mounted console shifter, analog instrumentation, and several interior refinements before General Motors discontinued the B-body platform altogether. Today, the 1996 Impala SS stands as the last full-size, rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet performance sedan of its era and remains one of the most desirable modern American muscle sedans ever produced. Finished in its factory-original Black exterior over original Gray leather sport bucket seat interior, this exceptional 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS represents the kind of unmolested, highly original example enthusiasts search years to find. Sold new by Weber Chevrolet in St. Louis, Missouri, on January 25, 1996, it was delivered with only 10 miles on the odometer and remained in the devoted care of its original owner for the next thirty years. Carefully maintained, always cherished, and garage kept throughout its life, the car was only recently offered for sale after its longtime caretaker's declining health prevented continued enjoyment. During the final years of ownership, the Impala saw very limited use while remaining safely stored indoors. Showing only 34,138 actual miles from new, this one-owner Impala SS was thoroughly recommissioned upon its arrival at the St. Louis Car Museum & Sales to ensure it performs exactly as Chevrolet intended. Service work included four brand-new Nitto performance tires, all new brake pads and rotors with fresh brake fluid, engine oil and filter service, new air filter, serpentine drive belt, replacement fuel pump, all eight new fuel injectors, new water pump with gasket, thermostat and housing assembly, complete air conditioning service, front sway bar bushings and end links, along with a new idler arm. The result is a remarkably fresh-driving example that starts instantly, runs flawlessly, and delivers the smooth power, confident handling, and refined road manners that made these cars legendary. Under the hood rests the numbers-matching 5.7-liter LT1 V8 paired with the electronically controlled 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip rear differential. Combined with its heavy-duty suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and rear-wheel-drive chassis, the Impala SS offers an engaging driving experience that continues to impress nearly three decades later while remaining comfortable enough for effortless highway touring. Equally impressive is the completeness of this highly documented survivor. Accompanying the sale are the original owner's manuals, original window sticker, clean Carfax report, both original key sets, and the complete collection of original sales documentation from its purchase at Weber Chevrolet. Such provenance, combined with documented one-owner history, exceptionally low original mileage, factory originality, and comprehensive recent mechanical servicing, makes this final-year Impala SS an outstanding opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. As one of the finest surviving examples of Chevrolet's legendary final-generation B-body performance sedan, this beautifully preserved 1996 Impala SS represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an honest, low-mileage, one-owner American icon that is equally suited for preservation, exhibition, or immediate enjoyment.
