1995 Caprice Impala SS Wagon The car has 68k original miles and has been garaged kept since new and only driven one winter. It has never been in any kind of accident. Everything on the car functions the way it should if not better than new. The elderly couple I purchased it from in 2003 current mileage was 59k and they had all the maintenance done at the dealership and the oil changed every 1500 miles, which I continued to also follow.
Exterior: The car has no rust at all. The trim pieces all have been removed but I still have them. Has a factory Impala SS grill along with GTS headlight covers.
Interior: The seats and carpet are in excellent condition and are in better shape than you would expect for a 14 year old car. The dash cluster was swapped out for a Z28 cluster and miles were set correctly when installed. The stereo head unit is a pioneer DEH-P77DH. Speakers are Pioneer Premiers.
Drive train: Within the last 500 miles the engine and trans. were removed for performance upgrades.
A Trans Go Shift Kit was installed and corvette servos and spring kit.
2800 stall converter
BTE trans. fluid
The drive shaft was removed then cleaned and painted and new u-joints installed
Motor was dissembled, inspected, cleaned and painted black.
When reassembled and new gaskets, Cloyes timing chain true roller, Hot Cam Kit installed completely except for the spring I used Beehive ones instead, Mezire electric water pump.
Sand blasted trans. cross member, air bracket, balancer, intake, timing chain cover, painted valve covers, cleaned and painted frame.
New factory LT1 aluminum Heads were port and polished.
Larger 3.5” F-body MAF sensor.
Suspension upgrades from Speed Inn: Sway bars front 1 3/8” and rear 1 5 /16”. Global West Rear Tubular Lower Control Arms.
Bilestein shocks and got rid of the air bags.
ZQ8 bump stops
Oil level sensor switch, distributor cap, thermostat, serpentine belt, battery were also a replaced at that time.
The PCM just had a tune to accommodate all the performance upgrades that were all recently installed.
Through out the last three years and about 3k miles theses other upgrades were also performed.
Exhaust consists of TRI-Y headers with Chromex coating and hook up pipes from Clear Image Automotive. The cat-back system is 2.5” ATR with resonator delete all stainless steel.
The rear end has 3.73 gears with an Eaton positraction.
The brakes were also all replaced and the rotors turned.
Tires are 255/60R15 Pirelli Scorpion Zero with 9/32” tread mounted on N97 wheels with brand new chrome lug nuts.
