1000 is the new 500. Or at least that’s what all the kids are saying these days. This 1996 Impala SS has got some serious suds with 900 plus horsepower at the tires! And did we mention it’s a 6-speed car? Oh yeah, this one has all the goodies. All it needs is a set of 18’s with Falkens on it for the autocross and roadcourse and we bet it would be a riot!
Not only is it a clean driver that gets 20 mpg according to the seller, but it also has goodies from Hotchkis, Baer, NOS, FAST, Lunati, Moser and many more that make this one built beast. You know we dig big cars around here, and especially big cars that hauls ass. We’re pretty sure this one does!
Here is what the seller has to say about it:
1996 Chevrolet Impala SS 1000hp! 6 speed manual! – $22500
Up for sale is my 1996 Impala SS that has been completely upgraded from front to back. Nearly everything has been replaced and it is a complete animal! It made 840 horsepower at the rear tires before the nitrous kit was installed which adds another 75 horsepower to the wheels. This was limited because at anything past that point, the clutch began to slip. This is definitely a car you can take to shows and take it to the race track but this is also an amazing street car that cruises comfortably on the highway getting nearly 20 mpg in air conditioned comfort! Have your cake and eat it too! Details are below. call text or email anytime: 310-592-5127 and yes, the price is OBO, so bring me your offer.
78k miles on the chassis, but only 10k of these have been with the new engine, driveline, brakes and suspension. Most of these miles came from the 3 Hot Rod Power Tours the car has been on. This car has never been raced or abused.
