Impala SS

I checked out a 94 Impala SS that is for sale locally today.. Lt1 engine with 110K Kms, garage stored, never winter driven.. the paint is near mint, no rust anywhere, and the guy only wants 1400 bucks...


Seems like it would be a cool car to own and do some modifications to.. lower the suspension, headers, exhaust.. ect...

Of course this would be instead of sinking my money into
a newer car like a 99-02 grand prix GTP, Impala, Intrepid, ect ect...

Opinions ?? Experiences with this car ??

$1,400? Sounds too good to be true. I would have bought it like yesterday.

Depends what you want it for. It's a pig on gas and modifying it more is going to make it less than pleasant as a daily driver in Canada's four season's. It's basically a Caprice with some heavier duty running gear so parts aren't too expensive but are getting less easy to find.

The LT1 SBC is cheap and easy to extract HP from.

Bottom line: not the most practical daily driver but would make a great second vehicle/project car.

easier to move with that power and you probably did the air in air out mods ( exhaust and intake ) = better for the motor
also chip helps

My bronco was running 36" TSLs 4:56 gears and a built 400
