A 6-speed manual transmission was installed over 2 years ago and the car is a dream to drive.  The 4.10 rear end gears are perfectly mated for the size of this car.  The torque is incredible.  It seats 5 comfortably and you can fit 3 large suitcases, 2 golf bags, and the stock full size spare in the trunk.  I get 24mpg on the highway in 6th gear.  I recently purchased a 6 speed 99 Corvette and I already have another Impala SS clone in the garage.  I've decided to sell my very rare and unique car to someone that will enjoy it as much as I have. My car is in excellent mechanical condition and I have receipts for the following maintenance performed in the last 10,000 miles, I do all of my own work on my cars: 1. OEM/Factory Optispark distributor, plus distributor shaft seal and o-ring 2. OEM/Factory Water pump, plus o-ring and gasket 3. OEM/Factory platinum spark plugs and Taylor wires 4. Monroe Severe Duty Shocks - all around 5. Eibach lowering springs 6. BF Goodrich tires all around (full tread) 265 fronts and 295/50/15 rears!  That's W I D E !! 7. New radiator and coolant flush 8. OEM/Factory ignition coil and coil wire     I've taken this car on a number of long road trips and it is a breeze to drive and the seats are super comfy.  Most recently, I drove it for 16 hours, only stopping for gas/food.  I cannot think of another vehicle that matches it in terms of fuel economy (24mpg in 6th gear on the hwy), performance (330 ft/lbs torque), magazine tested 0-60 in 6.6 seconds, 12 inch disc brakes on all four corners, factory tow rating of 7000lbs with the tow package and Class IV hitch, handling, smooth ride, seating for 5, great looks, and price.    The only blemishes with the car are as pictured with the paint.  The paint is super shiny and very glossy and smooth, but apparently the previous owner had it re-painted and the paint was not mixed correctly.  In the pictures, you'll see where the paint has "shrunk" and cracked.  Even after looking over the car, I still purchased it, as 95% of the paint looks great, and well, how many 6 speed manual tranny Impala SS / Caprices have you ever seen?  You can see some paint chips on the edge of the hood that meets the grille and there's a white bump mark from another car that backed into just the bumper.  On the rear bumper are some slight bubbles on the rear bumper - where I imagine the paint wasn't mixed correctly for a flexible bumper.  On the curved sections of the c-pillar, you can find more cracks.  They haven't peeled up, the paint just "shrunk" and pulled apart.  You'll see the same "shrunk" marks on the hood, as pictured. Look carefully on the sides of the car - there's no dents or door dings, as I always park in the last parking row anywhere I go.  For a car that's 10 years old, that's pretty incredible. Overall, I love the mean looks of the car with a lowered stance, wide tires, black exterior, and Corvette-style vintage Rallye wheels and center caps.  Knowing that there's a 4.10 rear end and 6 speed tranny in there, it's simply the best combination for a great all around and practical four door sedan with LT1 performance to back it up.                 a d d i t i o n a l   p i c t u r e s       p a i n t  b l e m i s h e s
