That's a very clean and straight looking Impala SS, all it needs is a new transmission, the leaks fixed and it should be good to go.

Other than the screaming belt, its a very clean SS

My daughter wants the '67 Impala from Supernatural. This one sounds and looks good for the mileage.

Family member had a Grand Prix GXP with the 5.3....by 60k miles the trans needed rebuilt and the piston rings on cylinder one were roached (thanks AFM), not GM's finest moment, lol

I have a 2011. It's a nice car and i do enjoy it. You put the work in it and i think you'll make money on it. I paid 8k for mine. Here's a little easter egg for you. Your back seat, if you lift it up has storage and the back comes down for added truck space.

I had a Monte ss same set up. They're fun to drive after a tune to turn off the AFM which will destroy the engine. Weakest part is the transmission. I still love those. Wish they were RWD

Great video as always been watching for 4 years now from the UK 🇬🇧 keep up great content

This Impala SS, with a bad transmission "and" a blown head gasket is in much better condition then a New Nissan Altima with a CVT for sure!!

Been driving a 2006 ss for 4 years now, took mine to a good tran shop for rebuild for about 2600, been good for over one hundred thousand. I would buy another.

Nice car very immaculate. I hope you find a new transmission it will make a good car for someone. Looking forward to seeing further updates soon.

Nice looking Impala Jay! :) I didn't know the newer ones like this had a *v8* under the hood! That's cool!

Working in the rental car Business these were the number one cars we sent customers out with. Granted they were the cheapest desposible car in our fleet lineup.

That'll be awesome when you hit 100K subscribers! Your channel has come so far since the handful of subs when I found it back when I was working in Charlotte and the algoritym put it up on my home page. Anyhow, let's hope that happens sooner than later! Oh, the engine in that thing and the shape of the entire thing overall looks great. I have no doubt you'll get it running and it will be a great car again for anyone.

Always a pleasure jay been with you from the beginning lol

If that was my impala ss,it wouldn't get another auto tranny.But a 6 speed manual swap.One of a kind.

Hey Jay!! Nice find!! Car has potential! Next year will be 4 years of me watching your channel! The video that got me into your channel was the Wrecked King Ranch F150 so glad youtube reccomend me it! Such a good channel with great content keep it up Jay never disappoints!

I’ve driven an Grand Prix GXP of this gen it it’s actually a fun car but it will get away from you when you floor it in a turn. Great vid! Hope this Impala finds a good home.

If you're going to drop the transmission and your not in a hurry upgrade the internal parts and rebuild it yourself. If it turns out nice keep it as a fun toy, if you hate it sell it on. Like everyone says the DOD rockers and all that are problems but it isn't ticking so maybe the parts were upgraded or deleted already. Folks have made some good suggestions. I don't think those are super common now and it should be a fun ride. I love the pig 06 5.7 Charger RT I've had for a year now. Crap gas mileage but it's so much fun when you turn off the traction control.

I liked these Impala's, my uncle had a few. Thanks for the video, Jay.

Ive been subscribed since 2018 and i’ve been watching ever since, keep up the good work jay and hopefully you hit 100k before new years!

That's in good condition usually these are rusted to hell nowadays! Yet this is a first year of this style wow

You’re awesome Jay. I miss the junkyard though.

Always found the gm SSes around that time period interesting! Nice video!

@2:47 I think it has a Bose Amplifier and Bose Speakers the actual headunit is the same (with amp bypassed VIA GMLAN) unit they used in many of their vehicles in the time period. Not an LCD it's a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) way cooler then the LCD's they are my favorite display types (The VFD that is)

damn son, mustache works for y'all 🤠

This is very neat and tidy Impala SS.

Not bad jay good luck fixing it .

I didn't see that coming, u guessed it was a 3800 or a 3600, LS definitely worth throwing a transmission in it, really clean car overall, Liked

I bought one back in April, and just bought a super in October, trans are shit but other than that it’s a pretty decent and quick car.

She's Mint dude!!! Love it!!! "Eye Poppin"

I love love love that car. I had a 2007 impala LTZ trim all of the same options even a new transmission and that car was my baby I loved it then one day a lady hit me head on and totaled it and I’ve not been able to find a good one since

Can find these and the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP twins in my area dirt cheap when the glass transmissions in these go bad... Used transes for these are over $1,000 at yards in my area and rebuilds cost more than double that, so most people throw them away. Definitely worth a few grand with a good trans though.

I love that shifter its just like my 75 nova

Thanks for the video Jay love your videos, hope you and your family have a great holiday

I like how this generation Impala SS has a V8 like in the older ones. But I bet the 2004-2006 Impala SS supercharged V6 is zippy.

These are fun winter cars

Beautiful car nice score

Nice wheels!

Theses are great cars I got a 06 impala Lt in v6 there great

Damn , J , almost 100.000 ! Been with a long while, keep it up !

Nice intro. You are an entertainer now. 8 Cyl! You could bore and blueprint. Worth it. Sleeper car too. The sleeper idea is very popular.

Hope there's a follow-up video on that beast. Nice car. Good video. 👍

I like the new vlog style camera work, makes it a little more personal! Also, you guys must have been busting your butts around there, the parking lot looks nice all cleaned up. 👍

I had a 05 Grand Prix with 5.3 it was great wish I still had it

Nice car Jay, even with a burned out trans.

The Impala SS is a really nice looking car. My neighbor has a 2006 SS with no problems at all.

I used to have the same car. Mine was also a 2006. Had it for 3 years

Nice definitely a keeper i liked the monte carlo ss from 06-07 as well

And no blend door actuators tapping! 🤗

I agree with those wheels and that color the car looks amazing fix it myfriend and make money on it happy holidays buddy

Ah, now that's a nice car! I really want a Monte Carlo SS or one of those Impalas. I did hear that the transmissions on the SS and ones and the 3.9 were weaker though, since they weren't reinforced for more power. I've never seen one in that color, and it's not awful, but I'd still love a black one.

I guess it decided to bypass the Powerglide mode that the 4L60E transmissions go into before failing. Would be nice if there had been a FWD 6-speed manual option that worked with the LS blocks... Could manual swap it then... Anyway, the headlamp option is the automatic bugeye mode for when you're coming to a stop. Headlamp pops out to provide a wider view... ;-P lol

sweet hat!

Hello jay we are loving you in turkey 🇹🇷

Nice find, I have a 2013 impala LTX just like that, nice cheap car! You should be able to find a transmission,, great videos jay

Merry Christmas to you Jay Smart

Beautiful car jay 👍 hello from Morocco bro ❤

I love these cars, but I prefer the 1996 body style. They remind me of the old Hudsons.

Like the old tanks from the 70s. Especially the 72. 2 door impala.

I can't tell you how many of this gen Impala I had gotten over the years as rental cars. I prefer smaller cars but because of my business account with Enterprise They tended to give me unwanted upgrades. I always preferred the Impala over the 500 AKA Taurus. I liked the steering and the interior but when compared to a Camry the ride stinks. Of course every Impala I ever got was the base LS trim with the exception of one time when I was given a SS. I didn't notice the badging but I did notice it had a spoiler and leather. I was tired and jet-lagged but was completely brought back from the dead the first time I stepped on the throttle. Wow that bitch Packd-a-Punch! I had a lot of fun pushing down the Fl. turnpike that day even though the ride was even more stiff than the ls but I stopped having fun when a FHP Pig pulled me over but luckily I was able to talk my way out of the massive ticket I deserved. It also loved gas and I don't think it even got 20 MPG on the highway. It reminded me of something my dad who was a good ol boy told me once. He said Son sluts are fun but you never want to marry one because they were meant to be passed on to the next guy which is exactly how I felt when I handed the keys back to the Enterprise agent.

I like seeing his face 😊

I always liked the looks of this generation of Impala.

Cute pup

The headlights comments were hilarious!

A clean car in and out

For a 15 Year Od Car, it looks Clean all the way, except the bad transmission! Looks like the previous owner took great care of it.

I want one so bad but definitely one with a super 10

Did you check the transmission fluid?

Hi my friend Jay.

that's one good looking man forget the feature presentation ;) - who wouldn't return for Jay??

11:08 I heard the bad actuator when u turned the car off lol mine makes the same noise learned to live with it its a small fortune to replace

I drove a ton of these when I worked in rental cars. I guess when Avis and Hertz bought 500 Impalas or GPs from GM, it was dealers choice what got delivered, anywhere from GP SEs w/ plastic wheelcovers and Impala LSs w/ cloth bench seats to these n GP GXPs and GT S/Cs. The GPs had weird staggered wider front tires and Bilstein struts with factory summer Bridgestones (that Hertz would continue to rent in winter). The Impalas had supposedly SS specific suspension tune but felt as floaty as regular base LSs. These have the wonderful DOD active cylinder deactivation and all its lifter issues. The 4T80E trans is too weak for the engine. Even in 4 cyl mode, you were lucky to get 18 mpg in my experience. The "Bose" stereo seemed to simply add a brand name to the door speaker grilles. GM used the same head unit in everything during this era. GM used 4T80s in Northstar cars but IIRC there were lots of supposed changes to make it work in this platform and LS engine. Speaking of, they bragged about how many changes they made to the LS to make it FWD, like a shorter crank to fit the accessories closer to the engine and whatnot. This thing is begging for a 3.6/6T75 swap, making it a rare trim with the standard 2012+ drivetrain... but at least it would be more reliable. And that setup would be MUCH easier to source than a working 4T80 for this thing. The one W Body LS i never saw was a Lacrosse Super, they were rarer than the rest. Hertz had plenty of Lacrosse CXS, the first W with the modern HFV6 3.6, but in Gen 1 tune with only 240 hp. The Super was later to the market than the Chevy and Pontiac. The Lucerne CXS with the MR suspension and post-coarse thread pitch Northjunk was a neat piece, until they ruined it with the Super trim and uglier front end. The W Impala really became something decent in 12 when they added the gen 3 HFV6 and 6T75. Better economy than the old 3.5 HVV6, 3 more hp than the SS 5.3, way better suspension tune than even the SS (and you got the firmer tune in LT and LTZ, just not base LS). Maybe the 3.6 was just way lighter than the old LS or HV engines n the SS tune was used, idk. But it was a revelation. Of course no more bench seats after 11... ah well.

Nice win! This car can make many more miles

definitely worth fixing. esp considering the crazy used car market.

Inside of that vehicle looks like public transport. Dang it! no highs no lows - BOSE

that is a nice car I like that

When this video first popped up I was gonna comment this: "2 to 1 says the transmission is bad." And sure enough when I was farther in the video it wouldn't move even though it shifted into drive.

Whoever owned it should've added speed holes w/ the the added deployable headlights for immense speed!

You don’t have to drop the entire subframe I’ve changed 100s of these transmissions and also rebuilt a lot also.. when you lose all gears it’s the skimpy input shaft they use from factory they make a aftermarket shaft that’s beefy that’s pretty reliable even after performance upgrades

Legend car

To bad they where fwd loved the 96 ss.

Get ready for a transmission brother !

wow, that engine is honestly hilarious, it appears that it'd actually be easier to do a spark plug replacement on this v8 impala then it would be on the normal v6 impalas, lmao chevy, how'd you manage to make a bigger motor in the same space easier to work on then the smaller motors also for the transmission, i'm assuming you already did the obvious and checked to make sure there's actually transmission fluid in it? auction cars tend not to have the fluid's at quite the right level in my experience, haha

I like these but I kinda figured the trans was the issue, if only these came in RWD with a stronger transmission, I'll probably own one right now

Hate to say it, but it looks good.

I see it has that rare zoom headlighs feature that's rare good find

Not going to lie he almost convinced me with the headlight.

Needs a reckless Raquel exhaust system lol!!

Torque Steer has entered the chat.

4:50 that fine GM quality hahaha

I just brought the same spec Impala a few months back, pretty fun car

Kinda want one, too bad it has the fwd cousin to the 4L60e. Would love to get a 6 speed manual if it had that option!

There’s one place in Greenville that would Rebuild it. The shop I use in Lugoff would rebuild it too. I would NOT use a used one. These barely lasted 40-60k. Way too much of a gamble versus a rebuild. Unless there’s a guarantee it has been rebuild. These are worse than the AX4N from the jellybean/football Taurus days. Too bad since the rest of the car isn’t bad and it’s decent looking!

Or you can part it out, those engines are worth a bit of money being the front wheel drive LS. From what I’ve seen in other videos they are a bit different from the standard LS.

Seems to be the common problem.. GM makes good engines, but transmissions not so much. Think the LS is to powerful for the weak transmission and burned it up. Even the 3.8 Buick V6 it's a fantastic engine but they are too powerful for there trans. They just burn up.

So desperately needs flowmasters on it , But would hurt the sell for some buyers tho Maybe .

This would be a good sleeper.

Could you do a video of a 1956 ford F100 if you can find one. I'm working on putting my old F100 together making it my daily driver and hotrod. Also thank you for subscribing you make amazing videos too.

The Buick LaCrosse Super was the baddest out of the W bodies.

Replace that rear main seal if transmission will be out!!
