Awesome - got my dad's '96 at 180k and still runs like a top. Love these cars so much

These cars make such an impression when you drive them around. I've had people run up to me saying it's their dream car, leaving endless notes asking if I'm selling it, lol. I'm going through restoration and it's rough but totally worth it

everybody loves a impala ! 58-96 they are classics. and the 94-96 is just baddass

SS is an eye catcher all day . That car is a family Muscle Car, dnt sleep on it.

I'm a Ford guy but the 90s caprice and SS Impalas are awesome.

Them young boys will rob you for that kinda car! Be careful driving down south with that. I want one so bad!

I bought a 96 SS with 71000 Miles, super clean. Prices are going up.

Just bought one for $700.00. Has over 200k and plenty of rot. But damn the thing runs strong. Was gonna part it out. Fell in love with it. Gotta keep it.

You say your SS des not get much attention, my 1996 gets loads of attention everywhere. I bought it new, I have very low miles, always garaged, cleanest car, by far, in the area, no dings. Thanks for the radio source.

Your dad did a great job with his collectible sounds excellent💪👍

Hey JT. Great to hear the background of the Impala and all that you have planned. Our family had a 1976 Caprice Classic! That car was huge. As always a great video. Joe

I almost bought one in highschool but went with a 99 Z28 instead. I still want one someday.

Got my 96 yr ago with 104k. Man smooth ride!

My car turns heads everywhere I go in mine, rarely anyone calls it a caprice or cop car

Beautiful car

the impala ss is a head turner my friends got a 95 ss with crome irocs a true modern muscle car

My Chevy 95 blue book is 10k which great, better then most

im confused .. lol ive turned ALOT of heads in my 96 impala ... from old guys to car guys to groupies who think they know about cars lol.. maybe its because i live in southern california.. and everybody is either an import guy or a chevy guy.. and trust me theres alot of people who want these 96 big body's down here.. check out my video's .. i have a 96 DGGM with only 60k miles on it .. beautifull inside out :)

I love these cars and I'm actually looking to build a replica with/for my dad using a caprice with an LS with SS trim... Wish me luck. Love the video.

i have a 95 caprice wagon with the lt1 in it all stock and clean and i get offers and looks all the time

These cars were a million times cooler than the Vettes of the same era, back in a time when sleepers were the shit and sports cars were overrated.

you should check out classic industries. they have an impalla full size 1958-1996 impalla catalog as well as camaro and other models. if i cannot absolutely find a part for my 96 camaro in a junk yard or ebay i will go to them. problem is they are pricey, the good news is that there is some aftermarket support for your car. these were awesome cars and you just cannot find an equal in a more "modern car" i would hang on to it.

Yeah i love the 96

my 13 impala I'm amazed by the v6 in it 305 hrsp 31 mpg top speed 148 mph hard to find a 86 impala in good shape

Great Video and commentary. I agree with your review of the car. I have had my '96 from new and now have 39,000 Florida miles on it. It's in as new condition, the only mods I have made are K&N, cat back, Hypertech Pro, 165F thermostat and shift kit. My wife hates the shift kit because it's "too jerky", which is why I do like it. The problem is that I also have a Jaguar F type V8S which is a beast, and when I step back into my SS, I always feel that I'd like just a bit more power. I have been thinking about the 383 stroker motor too, so your videos will be very helpful. So do you think that you'll have to change out the 4L60E? It seems that a shift kit would help because it is heat, among other things, that transmissions hate. The shift kit allows varying amounts of slippage when shifting gears, so should help to mitigate the higher 383 hp output? Good luck with your project!

Excellent review. I have had my 1996 from new with 40,000 miles and still love to occasionally drive it. I agree with your comments on the car. Just a suggestion about the lack of radio aux inputs. I use a VicTsing V4.1 BT FM transmitter. Plugs neatly into the cigarette lighter and allows streaming BT through the radio. Your radio replacement is a great way to go, but the transmitter is a low cost ($15) alternative. I too am perfectly happy with the existing LT1 with K&N, cat back, Transgo shift kit. I also have installed Hypertech Pro tune, which seems to help quite a bit. I am also intrigued by the 383 swap but it's a lot of work. Any comments on a power adder to the current LT1? Supercharger for example? Thanks.

I find the impala nice as a stock tbh

Good video

Detailss sells a kit for double din radios for these cars, it looks factory. I've had a Impala SS since 2009, will never get rid of it

AWESOME car!!! I see that youre from the Akron area. I live just outside of Wadsworth. I currently driving a 17 Charger Scatpack and looking to sell it. I found one of these in MI. Would like to ask you some questions about the SS and what kind of upgrades that are out there.

Where I live my Chevy is clean and nothing special and it turns heads and I get offers 11k and up. These cars holds street value.

You are lucky bro for having this car

Hi, I followed your restoration project as you went along back in 2015. Since then, how is the car running? Have you done any other mods? I have been slowly building a 9c1 for some time now and we have emailed in the past. I put too big of a cam in my 383 stroker and cant get a good tune in the car. Recently I have decided to buy the Holley HP EFI ECU. It will replace the opti as well as give so many more tuning options. I just wanted to see what you have been doing with yours. I am also looking for an SS that I can use for a daily driver. I just need the right one. You know how that is. Take care and good luck with your hobbies. Regards, Ody

Im the original owner if a 96 Impala SS and picked up an LT1 with 100k on it. I would like to follow your lead during my rebuild. Where is the best place to find your project videos as your website seems to be down. Thanks in advance,

No way, The big wheeler folk stare these cars down and chase them, They chase mine all the time, its one reason I stopped driving it here. They want to buy it, Lift it and out 26s on it in lime paint, Horrible. I have to do that Line in mod on the theft lock radio, looks easy.

Nice car (sorry I'm late) I want one off these preferably as your SS .. is it hard to maintain? reliability? How can I get one? it's looks good.

Are your wheel center caps from an S10 or Cavalier or something similar? I like them!

i have a 95 chevy and it wont start

What exhaust is that? Sounds good

I am bout to take possession of a 95SS with 18k miles on it...going to keep it mainly stock. I do want to add a cat back....what do you think of the Borla on a basically stock motor?

ive always found it hard to believe these had 260 like yea maybe to the wheels but not to the crank there is no way. i feel chevy said that because the laws, same with the lt1 camaro and vette they are making more power than what we think. ive drove a 96 ss and a 95 bolt camaro there is no way.

The TWO door is 300 lbs. LIGHTER !

@Rubber city motoring I noticed when you got onto the freeway you had a hard gear shift from first to second. I have the same issue on my 96 impala. Do you have a fix for that?

@Hoagies Garage correct me if im wrong ,but i saw your car on the forum with the front black corner lamps? do you still have them? and if you do , would you sell them?

is that still the LT1? i have a 1996 camaro Z28 which mechanically is about the same except my car is lighter. the caprice/impala sure was a nice ridding car. too bad they dont make real cars too much anymore. except for the mustang, camaro, challenger and corvette RWD cars are pretty much extinct.

hows it coming along

is 1FatctoryRadio.com the person u went to to restore your stereo ??

G8s are not great on gas. I have both a g8 and a trailblazer ss. I get about the same mpg.

I thought they came with 295 hp

Where can I find one

I came to see a impala SS and the entire video shows some guy who talks to much . You won a Dislike!!!

nice car. legend has it he’s still talking to himself. 17 minutes. too much. i’m out.
