Tim Allen's 1996 LT5 Impala SS
Рет қаралды 575,613
12 жыл бұрынTired of pulling up to special events in the customary limousine, Tim worked in partnership with Chevy's Jon Moss and Wheel to Wheel's Jeff Beitzel to transform a 1996 Impala SS into a black, menacingly fast but also supremely comfortable one-of-a-kind ride. In addition to Tim's exterior and interior aesthetic modifications, this SS holds a DOHC 32-valve Corvette ZR1 engine and delivers 446 hp at 5500 rpm. The rear also includes a "Binford 6100" badge. (Binford is the hypothetical tool manufacturer from Home Improvement's "Tool Time" show.)

I bought my 96 Impala SS new. I still have it. It was my daily driver until I started working from home. Now it's a garage queen that only comes out when it's time to haul the grandkids around. It has 317,000 miles.

I have a 96. Love the car. That being said. The 4l60e was a weak spot of the car. It wasn’t really capable of handling the torque these cars had. I had mine rebuilt around the 100k. It was rebuilt to the 4l65e specs. However, I know of lots of cases wherein people are still on their original tranny at 200+k. Many people would say the Achilles heal on these cars were the distributor. But I’m still on the original opti. So you never know. 🤷🏻♂️ Cheers
