The last generation SS Impala (1994-96) has become a legend to enthusiasts all over the world, impressed by its dependability, roomy interior, sleeper looks and incredible power. Certainly the ultimate Impala SS culminated in ’96 when Chevy finally dropped the dorky digital gauges and the column shifter in favor of a console-mounted gear lever. Now considered a contemporary classic, the automobile was Chevy’s flagship and is certainly among the fastest and most reliable American sports sedans money can buy. With the attrition rate of these cars often accelerated by highway commuters or the new generation of “Fast & Furious” juveniles, it'd be a nice surprise to find an extremely low mile example of the species that received all the PROPER modifications to compete with the new millennium of supercars AND despite being 18-years-old, still sparkles and shines like the day it rolled-off the showroom floor. The most likely place to unearth such a rare gem would be Southern California, with its mild climate and large number of affluent car enthusiasts. Such an amazing find is the miraculously well preserved example presented for auction here! With only 12,005 original miles, this Impala has certainly lived a charmed life. The current owner is a prominent businessman in Orange County who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among a private collection of museum quality, collector automobiles. During his ownership, (less than 3,000 miles ago) at a cost of $18,899.11, the car received a full engine "performance rebuild" complete with stroker engine design and transmission overhaul. All work was performed by Superior Automotive Engineering in Placentia, CA. Here is a copy of the 3-page work order: Here is the Dyno on the engine measuring 475 horsepower with 466 ft. lbs of torque: The ultimate "sleeper" that seats 5 adults. The exhaust is surprisingly quiet, the engine idles super-smooth and passes strict CA emmission requirements. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted SS, one that enjoys a most beneficial climate and is pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best services and performance upgrades money can buy. Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out! To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous original finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today. This SS has never suffered any collision damage and there are virtually no rock chips or scratches to report. Photos above and below show a small scratch in the fender well. Otherwise, trunk, hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the Impala’s pampered existence for the past 18 years. The lowered stance and wide wheels/tires are no visual gimmicks, mind you. With acceleration from zero to sixty in the sub 5-second range and a top speed of over 160mph, the full Hotchkis performance suspension becomes a vital part of survival. So are the custom widened, 17” alloy wheels, which are a dramatic improvement in both looks and performance on the SS… …especially when fitted with Fresh Nitto NT 555 Extreme ZR Radials 285/40ZR17 in front and 315/35ZR17 out back Let’s have a close inspection underneath. More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage. This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion. Hotchkis performance suspension components throughout and modified exhaust can be seen here. Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights. Peeking inside this SS, luxury is abundant. This Impala comes with the full leather interior that exudes a fantastic aroma; let's investigate! The inviting, 8-way power seats and roomy interior provides ample head and legroom for 5 NBA players. The 12,005 miles shown on the digital odometer are original!
Novero TrustyOne Universal Bluetooth Car Kit w/Microphone & Music Playback is a nice addition to the audio system and provides superior hands-free cell phone operation. The AM/FM/ audio system features upgraded amp and speakers with the 6-disc CD changer in the trunk (how 90’s!). Oil temp and pressure gauges located here. Fully optioned with power seats, windows and heated mirrors, everything works perfectly, of course with ice cold A/C. Books, manuals, and documents are included and there's also a spare key set with remote. The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life. How about a quick peek into the spacious trunk. Power amp located here. Cargo net still in tact. CD Changer located here. Now for the best part; under the hood. Inside the toothbrush-clean engine bay, lives Chevy’s fabled LT1 power plant. All the modifications were carefully engineered to pass strict CA emissions standards. A smog certificate will be provided for CA buyer. This stroker engine develops an astonishing 475 horses @5,900 rpm. This engine runs super strong and displays no ill manners whatsoever--like smoking, oil piddling, or drinking. Notice Edelbrock stainless steel exhaust system and MSD Ignition Not a single oil leak to note. Dry as a bone and clean as a whistle.
With an $18,000 drive train overhaul/build within the last 3000 miles, the new owner can be assured of trouble free driving in the long distant future. Drivability: The car runs, drives, handles, and stops flawlessly. Docile around town, on the track or above 4,500rpm, it throws you back in your seat! Driving this contemporary classic is truly is an unforgettable, uniquely pleasurable experience. Its low mileage and full engine/transmission overhaul certainly provides an extra dimension of satisfaction: there are no squeaks or rattles; this SS feels as solid as a rock!

This is how GM is hiding new Chevy Volt in public
Wed, Oct 1 2014General Motors is letting the public know that, well, it's not about to let the public know anything else about the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. But the automaker is willing to talk about its camouflaging process for upcoming versions of the extended-range plug-in. So it's a half-hearted secret, at best. GM actually has a "camouflage engineer" charged with creating ways to disguise the styling of new vehicles. In the Volt's case, the company is applying black and white swirly color patterns on top of the materials, such as plastics, vinyl and foam, that are used liberally across the body. It's all part of a teaser campaign that started last month with pictures of part the 2016 Volt. Earlier this month, GM said it was keeping track of Volt drivers' habits as it works on the next-gen model. The company noted that more than four out of five trips are being made in all-electric driving mode, and that 60 percent of Volt owners use a plain-old 100-volt outlet to recharge their cars. The car is slated to make its global debut at Detroit's North American International Auto Show next January, and the early word is that performance and all-electric range will be improved (we should hope so). The car will also be sleeker. By how much, we can't tell yet, because of those darn swirly patterns. GM's got more non-details in its press release below. Engineers charged with hiding styling while vehicle testing proceeds in public DETROIT – The styling of the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is one of the automotive world's best-kept secrets. Keeping customers and media eager to see the successor to the groundbreaking original at bay until the new Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January is tricky business. First, it is engineers, not designers, who are charged with creating camouflage that balances styling secrecy with the need to validate the Volt and its systems in public. "If it were up to me it would be a shoebox driving down the road," said Lionel Perkins, GM camouflage engineer. "The design team wants us to cover more of the vehicle and the engineering team needs to have enough of the vehicle's weight and aero exposed so that the tests in the development process are consistent with the product that will come to market." The engineers responsible for the "cool" designs covering the car might deserve style points but their efforts are intended strictly to hide the metal beneath.
GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter
Thu, Nov 6 2014We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.
