Anyone here own a 96 Impala SS?

No, but I'd love one.

Last year of the floor-mounted shifter. Decent car. Kinda slow on the top end, but it's an LT1 so it has a ton of aftermarket. Heavy tho.

I have a few friends with them. A couple that are stock, a couple that run in the 10s and make over 500 horsepower.

I would offer the guy 6k for the milage and see if he takes it. Doing some quick research on it, it's worth every penny of $7,900 but it doesn't hurt to try.

IMO that's a lot of miles for an LT1 car, as the optispark will go out soon, not fun to change. They seem to last for awhile though as most of the ones I found were >100k miles. Still though, doesn't matter what chassis it's in, it's still an LT1 engine and they are notorious for having problems.

Plus the tranny in that will not last a hell of a lot longer if it's the stock unit without a cooler. I ate up a 4l60e in a lighter Camaro SS (albeit more powerful motor) in about 75,000 miles. Couldn't be happier with my built unit

If you're planning on modding the piss out of it, probably a better platform as they are heavy ass cars, and for the money you will invest you will have a fun but minimal return over an f-body of the same year.

However! IF you are planning on throwing some wide rims on it (friend did 18x10 18x12 set up with a deep dish), and some mild mods, you can't go wrong with a car you can fit 5 big ass dudes in and take your buddies out for a night of drinking.

All in all I like them, but I couldn't own one that didn't have an LS1 swap into it.

That's a nice car.Yet too far.

Cool ride for sure, have any pics you can post for us????

Tomud

my favourite is 69 dodge charger but in my country is near impossyble to get one

I have always wanted one of those. There are tons of mods available for that engine and you can build that thing into a real monster. If it is in good shape then that is a decent price I think.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaa boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

96 Impala SS is beauty!
