FS: 96 Impala SS
FS: 96 Impala SS I'm posting this for a friend, so please direct any followup questions to his email. It's been a few years since I've seen the car but its an solid car, it does have an ignition problem (probably opti) and needs a couple things but Greg is a stand up guy and wouldn't sell junk.

1996 DGGM Impala SS with about 105k miles at last check. Car was never driven in winter and stored inside. These pictures aren't the best but its all I have - the DGGM does look better than these pictures
I am looking to get $4500 with everything before winter.
Its been in storage for 7 years. When I put it away it ran fine and the next season I needed to move it but it didn't have spark. I'm thinking its just the opti/battery but as you know it can be anything. What I know it needs; battery, fluids/filters, front end work (it just tracked bad on the highway). The AC didn't work but I had replaced the compressor/lines - just didn't get it recharged so that would need to be looked at. One window was off the rollers too.
Little background on the car itself (it ran perfect when put away);
Sunroof
GM 845 cam w/ springs/lifters
SVO 30# injectors
52mm Throttle Body
ODB1 PCM with pcmforless programming (I also have an ODB2 Ed Wright tuned PCM)
SLP converter
Transgo stage 3 shift kit
K&N cold air intake
Edelbrock shorty headers
ATR quad 2.5" T304 exhaust (I removed and still have the rear silencers - in their place I just put 2.5" straight with turndown)
Accel 300+
160* stat
Mez electric water pump
Brakes were new (2 months old) performance friction pads with Autospeciality (I think) rotors with ATE blue fluid
HA rear sway bar (single best mod done to the car period)
Fbody front sway bar
Bilstein shocks (I don't remember which ones, the popular set for 'not too stiff' and stock height)
BMR lower control arms (not positive if I did the uppers too)
Triple gauge pod with Autometer Ultralight gauges - all electric but not installed; Fuel pressure, oil pressure, temp
Alpine CD head unit with a 1/2DIN physical EQ
It currently has Infinity Perfect 6.5" speakers in the front - I want to keep these or we can talk about them but I will leave the 6.5" adapter plate
It also currently has RF amps wired in which I will be taking. You can use whatever amp you please but I will leave the wiring (3 sets RCAs, power, ground and speaker wire already run)
Viper alarm with both key fobs
Upgraded headlight harness (I forget who made them back then but it is *high* quality using only the best parts) with 80w low and 100w high beams
Carpeted trunk side protectors
Parts that I know I have that go with it:
Bbody factory service manuals
Walbro 255LPH fuel pump
set of spark plugs
Aluminum heads - complete from a '95 Fbody
Almost all stock parts except exhaust
Export pipes (I'm pretty sure the O2 sensor bungs are welded in)
O2 sims
I know I had some of the corvette fuel rail covers but think I have some nice aluminum ones on now - or ready to go on
Carfax is clean too. 2 owner car and I'm the 2nd owner. I can send the carfax page print as a .pdf for free or you can get/pay for your own
Things I forgot and things I found in a list:
Impala valve stem caps and I also have a key fob with the valve stem cap tightener
I know I did the antenna switch mod
AIR delete
home plate delete with a nice aluminum puck
LT4 starter
3.5" MAF
the Extra deep trans pan
Valve springs are the Comp 983-kit springs
hardened 'pink' pushrods
FPP 1470 header gaskets
Ball joints were done at ~75k
SUM-G1590HS 9/16 in. stainless steel header collector bolts
ARP-400-1201 Chevy: 262-400, 3/8 in. diameter, .75 in. under head length, 12 point header bolts
I know that I am missing something too. Probably a lot of things!

Normally I would say its a Fuel Pressure / Fuel Pump issue but I see he replaced it. IF the PSI under load is good, then its probably a Opti / Plug Wire (burnt) / or Coil issue.
I've spent my fair share tracking them down, just takes time.
I will say still quite a steal for a fairly rare car and that is generally sought after.
GL with the sale.

Yeah it's an older car with a few miles, but its a prime example of a well kept Impala. These cars have a following and for the money its a good buy. The car was fine when he parked it, so I'm assuming whatever ignition issue it has its simple. I've seen the car and been in it personally before it was stored and its in good shape.
If he keeps the car I might do a detail on it after we figure out the spark issue, then maybe try again. Owner already has a couple other cars and a bike right now so ones gotta go. To be honest he loves that car so I was little surprised when he wanted me to post this.
