One-Family-Owned 52k-Mile 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS

Description

Introduced for the 1994 model year, the Chevrolet Impala SS marked the return of the revered Super Sport badge, reimagined as a full-size performance sedan built on GM’s B-body platform. Conceived as a high-performance evolution of the Caprice, the Impala SS drew heavily from the 9C1 police package, combining rugged durability with upgraded performance hardware. At its core was a Corvette-derived LT1 V8, while a lowered sport-tuned suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes transformed the traditionally soft Caprice into a more assertive driver’s machine.

In addition to its mechanical upgrades, the Impala SS stood apart visually through a monochromatic design theme that included a body-color grille, subtle rear spoiler, and unique 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. Wider tires, a quicker steering ratio, and a standard limited-slip rear axle further enhanced performance, while the de-badged look gave the car its signature understated presence. These attributes helped cement the ‘94–‘96 Impala SS as an icon of ‘90s American performance.

Purchased new by the seller's father, this 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS shows approximately 52,150 miles and is finished in Onyx Black over Medium Gray leather upholstery. Powered by a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 paired with a 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip rear differential, this example remains unmodified from stock.

This 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS is now offered by the seller on behalf of its current owner with original purchase documentation, a window sticker, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean California title in the current owner's.
