1995 Chevrolet Impala SS Sedan
In the vein of the Buick Grand National in which GM took a pedestrian Regal favored by a more seasoned customer, coated it in black and gave it a high performance engine, Chevrolet introduced the Impala SS in 1994. Essentially taking a Caprice, painting it black, (and eventually two other colors), and dropping in a slightly detuned Corvette LT-1 engine and based it on the 9C1 police package. The results were predictable, some were used as daily drivers and enjoyed as normal cars. Others were treated like the collectibles they would become and used as a weekend cruiser or show cars and as a result, mileage was kept low.
For consignment, a 1995 Chevrolet Impala SS sedan with a title verified 21,525 actual miles. This is a two owner car and while Dark Cherry Metallic and Dark Grey Green were introduced in this second year of production, black remains the top pick for enthusiasts.
Exterior
The inky black paint is complemented by the black mesh grille, black bumpers, and the lack of any chrome on the body with the exception of the Impala logo on the C-pillar and window trim. Even the Impala SS insignia on the rear quarter panels is blacked out and subtle, keeping this car slightly menacing looking even when parked. A streamlined spoiler on the back is an understated nod to performance while the racy 17-inch 5-spoke wheels were specific to the SS and fit the car well. Like all Caprices of the era, the pill shaped tail lights are large and wrap around the corners, keeping the car a curvy, wind defying brick. Overall, the paint and body are in good shape. Imperfections include failing clearcoat on the wheels, various inclusions and minor chips and scratches, scrapes on the bottom of the rear valance, and an underpainted pinch weld under a rocker,
Interior
Gray materials fill the big doors and switchgear is situated in an off gray plastic panel or the black upper insert and all four doors are in great shape. The Impala SS gets leather covered bucket seats, big and soft and featuring the SS emblem embroidered on the front headrests and the buckets and rear bench are also in nice condition. The steering wheel and dash are fairly standard with a digital dash surrounded by analog gauges and the factory AM/FM/CD radio in the center stack topped by an Impala SS badge. The shifter is on the column for the final time as it would be moved to the center console in '96. Low pile gray carpet and fleece-like headliner are in great condition and the trunk is lined in gray flannel and covers the spare as well, with only some very faint staining but otherwise clean.
Drivetrain
The stock 5.7 liter LT1 engine is in the bay and the venerable V8 is rated at 260 horsepower. Electronic fuel injection supplies the vaporized fuel and a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission is attached and sends power to the 10 bolt rear axle with 3.08 gears. Visually, the engine bay is very clean and stock. The plastic cover on top hints at a future trend that is now found in most cars where entire engines are covered with full plastic shrouds.
Undercarriage
A healthy dose of surface rust belies the low mileage on an otherwise clean and dry underside where power disc brakes reside at each corner and suspension includes coil springs at both ends with a 4 link in the back. The dual exhaust travels through stock style mufflers and resonators before exiting discreetly behind the rear bumper.
Drive-Ability
On the outside, it's Darth Vadar's daily ride, but inside, it's not that much different from your grandfather's Caprice, and that's part of the appeal. Plenty of elbow room provides a comfortable cabin as you peer out over a long black expanse. The V8 delivers good even surprising power and this big car tracks straight and handles well for a big boy. We note the A/C is not working, the radio turns on but doesn't provide a cruising soundtrack, or any sound, the ABS light is on, and the right rear window motor runs but that glass does not move. Beyond these things, all functions work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
After the initial short run of 6,303 cars in 1994, the positive reception prompted Chevrolet to produce 18,365 SS's in 1995 and 40,269 in '96. Even with those numbers, it's rare to see one on the street today and they have been thankfully relegated to car shows and museums.
