96 Impala SS

What does it take for a car to become a classic? Is it the rarity of a vehicle, custom desired modifications, or maybe just a high profile name that can make a car a classic? A classic car should be able to stand the test of time… The same way your favorite movies as a kid could 30 years later bring the same joy to your son or daughter. And a large part of what defines a Classic is the fans who toil and sweat to keep Classic heritage alive. From one generation to the next they play a significant roll in keeping that legacy going.

I believe the second generation Chevy Impala SS can pass that test. With its brute, yet sleek body style, and LT1 V8 engine, what kid 30 years from now wouldn’t love to have one?

Chevy brought back the second generation Impala SS in 1994. This was the first four door ” Impala SS,” and was only available in black (previous Impala SS models were either coupes or convertibles.)

Chevy made sure that it lived up to its heritage with a 5.7 liter LT1 V8 engine that produced 260 Horsepower and ran 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. In the first year of production we saw about 6,000 Impala SS made. Read the rest of this entry »

63 Chevy Impala Super Sport

I was thinking back on a trip me and a friend took recently to Indiana to look at a Numbers Matching 1963 Chevy Impala Super Sport on the web. We knew this SS probably needed some work, but we decided to take the gamble and fly all the way from Florida. Other than running into some scheduling problems with the owner of the vehicle the traveling and trip itself didn’t have any speed bumps.

When we did finally get with the owner of the Impala he gave us the key and we went to work. On the outside everything seemed just fine, sure we could both tell that it needed some bodywork, but WOW did this thing have an amazing body style. Before we did anything, we just walked around the car and admired the timeless work of American Muscle before us.
