1996.5 CAPRICE/IMPALA SS  RARE COLLECTOR'S EDITION

 THE 96.5 COLLECTOR'S EDITONS ARE AMONG THE BEST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THE CAPRICE/IMPALA SS'S

No clone here this is the real deal The caprice ss's were the twin of the impala ss's

sold in canada and other countries, a few were brought back from other countries

The last 96 real caprice ss here on ebay sold for over $20,000.

no real difference between the caprice and impala ss except for badging/emblems

This one was my daily driver/resto mod for 3 years.I have put over $6000.00

in this one in the past three years in new and upgraded parts.to get it back to original condition or better.

the following is a list of some parts and upgrades that were added

new moog front drag link,tie rods and pitman arm,other front end parts

4 new moog high performance coil springs front is 1' inch lower than stock

rear is 1" higher so the car has a more aggressive stance and better handling

aftermarket center caps, with less than 5,000 miles

new water pump and thermostat

all new A/C system, compressor, evaporator, drier, condensor, car blows ice cold a/c

2 new after market radiator cooling electric fans

JET STAGE 2 HIGH PERFORMANCE CHIP

custom hand stiched leather seats front and rear,and console,steering wheel, and upgraded other interior pieces, dash door panels

new flow master american thunder  2.25 " stainless steel  full dual exhaust system, no cats

the car sounds really mean

new iridium high performance plugs and wires

full new paint job in 2011 original dark cherry met,

car could use some/detailing/buffing/paint touch up to really make it shine though

to me it's about a 10-20 footer

I built this car for GO not SHOW,

new impala ss studios billet grille

new impala ss studios hood scoop new in box not installed,

I know I am forgetting some of the new things added,not to mention countless time and labor spent improving and replacing parts

the 5.7 LT1 has about 50,000 on the rebuilt engine,so I was told by the original previous owner,who owned it since new for 15 years,runs very strong no leaks ,does not burn any oil, never driven in snow and or salt roads/mostly garage kept

 the car handles like a dream even on sharp turns with all the new suspension and steering parts added,not like a big boat as some of the older ss's do.

bid with confidence this car was built and maintained and driven mostly by me an ASE certified mechanic,that is an amateur racer also

The car is very reliable I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere , I drove it over 1000 miles with no issues

the only real reason I am selling is because I have too many other toys and projects

my number one being a 90% restored 67 pontiac firebird conv HO 

 I have a buyer that is interested in buying it for $8000.00 in December but I will be back overseas by than for 6 months to a year so would like to sell it now so I came down in price

 any questions just ask  thanks
