1996 Chevrolet Impala Ss Super Sport Mint Cond 18k Miles Garaged All Original on 2040-cars

1996 Chevrolet IMPALA SS - Super Sport
I bought this car new in 1996.
I couldn't pull the trigger on a 1994 or 1995 as they had digital
gauges and a column mounted shift lever, both of which I hated. Along
comes 1996 with extremely nice reworked analog gauges and a T shifter in
the console and I was sold. They only had one and it was Green/Grey
which is the color I would have chosen anyway. There were only a few
options available in 1996 and this one had them all. Plus it was the
LAST year for this iconic automobile. The last of the big Impala's. Many
people modified their SS's but I thought strictly factory stock was the
way to keep it, so I did not change anything. It has been a garage
queen all it's life up until a couple of months ago when I had to get it
out of the garage. Even though it is a northern car, it has NEVER been
driven in snow. I had other cars for that. History wise, the only thing I
had to have done to it was a new water pump and new batteries (of
course). ABOUT >>>>>>>>>Seventh generation (Impala SS, 1994–1996)
In 1991, the GM B platform was extensively redesigned, though it retained the same shortened frame design of the 1977 redesign. The Impala SS badge was resurrected at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show as a concept car designed by GM designer Jon Moss. The concept car was two inches lower to the ground than the regular Caprice, and was powered by a 8.2-liter (500 cu in) engine. Eventually, the concept car's engine was replaced with a 5.7-liter (350 cu in) engine derived from the Corvette in order to show the public what would be offered if put into production. The 1994 Impala SS went into production on February 14, 1994 at GM's plant in Arlington, Texas,[2]
and was almost identical cosmetically to the concept car, the only
noticeable change being the chromed bowtie logo on the grill (vs a red
logo on the concept). The car was, in essence, a high-performance
version of the Caprice. From a mechanical standpoint, it used the
Caprice 9C1
police package as its base and as such got most of the equipment
formerly available only to law enforcement and government agencies. This
included a sport-tuned suspension with reinforced shocks and springs, a
high-capacity reverse flow cooling system (derived from the Corvette's
LT1), larger four-wheel disc brakes, transmission cooler, dual exhaust, a
higher-output electrical system, and other minor mechanical
alterations. The Impala SS was uniquely fitted with a standard 3.08 gear. The
limited-slip rear differential was standard (as opposed to the option
G80 on Caprices) and the suspension was an inch lower. A retuned LT1 5.7-liter (350 cu in) small-block V8 was standard on the Impala SS, making 260 horsepower (190 kW) and 330 pound-feet (450 N·m) of torque
(retuned from the prototype's 300 horsepower (220 kW) rating). The
primary difference between the LT1 in the Impala and the LT1 that was in
the Corvette and Camaro was that the Impala engine was fitted with
cast-iron cylinder heads instead of aluminum ones, and a camshaft that
was designed more for low-end torque than high-end horsepower. Another
difference was that the block casting for the Impala LT1 had 2-bolt main
bearing caps while the casting used for the Corvette LT1 had 4-bolt
main bearing caps. The transmission used in the car was the 4L60E,
which was an electronically controlled version of the previously
hydraulically controlled 4L60. Cosmetically, the Impala SS received body-colored trim, which helped
reduce the sometimes "bloated" look of the standard Caprice, a unique
single-bar grille with no hood ornament and, a rear deck spoiler. It was
fitted with 17-inch (430 mm) brushed aluminum wheels with 255/50ZR17
all-season Z-rated tires. 1996 was the last year of production with 41,941 units sold. The 1996 Impala SS production went late into the model year; the last one being produced on December 13, 1996. It saw minor interior alterations, with the digital speedometer being replaced by an analog one, along with a tachometer. The shifter was moved from the column to the center console, and the engine was given an OBD-II computer control system (the camshaft was reground to adjust for the new computer). |

GM recalls 638,000 U.S. SUVs, trucks for unintended braking
Sat, Nov 2 2019WASHINGTON — General Motors is recalling 638,000 U.S. sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks because a wheel-speed sensor could fail and cause unintended braking, it said Thursday. The recall covers 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. The sensor failure could result in unintended activation of the driveline protection system, and cause unintended braking of the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor. That could cause the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash, the Detroit automaker said. GM said it was not aware of any crashes relating to the issue but found 150 field claims alleging the condition caused unintended braking or lateral vehicle motion. A GM dealer in May submitted a warranty report relating to the issue in a 2018 GMC Yukon, and two days later, a GM brand quality manager submitted the report to GMÂ’s Speak Up For Safety program that tracks potential safety issues, which prompted a GM investigation and testing.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
