help i am looking for a 96 impala ss

around my area for under 3000, that runs and drives
can anyone help?

Sorry bud, but if you are serious then stop looking cause it won't happen. Look for a 91-96 Caprice & you will find one that cheap, but not an Impala SS.

...... Of course I have been wrong before, feel free to make me look stupid.

Here's a clone for $1800...so far.

You're right. I gave 3500 for mine, but I bought it from a friend, and had to Jimmy him down from 5000. It needs a lot of work.

I saw a nice one a couple of weeks ago for 7500 with no motor or trans.

You can find a Caprice 9C1 (Police Package) for a lot less, with the same motor as the SS.

A clone, I could see going for around $3,000- $3,500. Of course with 5 days left to bid, this one will jump to at least 4k.



RC! Long time no see buddy how you been?

Hence the "so far" lol.

Been around, still checking in but avoiding the drama bro,
read your other post, hope you are doing Okay with your current troubles.

I got a plan. Should be recovering next week I hope. I'm getting out from under a car payment & it'll free up about $300 a month . Wifey also got a part-time job to help out, so we'll see.

Brown Eye has a layer of dust from sitting in the garage all Summer though.

haha i have to get a decent new car for under 3000 for college because my cars are gas guzzlers. the only new car that really appeals to me is the 95-96 impala ss lol.

there any other cool new cars that go fast that i could look for?

Not really new, but here's a short list of cars that are (or could be) fast & cheap.

Third gen F Bodies
Fox Body Fords
First gen turbocharged Eclipses
LoL apparently Geo Storms

I'm sure there are more, but this is a short non-rice list. For a DD, don't worry about fast, get something that saves gas so you have more $$$ for your projects. Get a Metro or ride a motorcycle.

If you're worried about your car being a gas guzzler, have you ever considered how long it would take for the purchase of another vehicle to start saving you money versus what you have? $3,000 can buy quite a bit of gas.

not sure i want a fox body because everyone has them damn things lol
yeah i defnatly want to save gas so speeds not an issue but i want to be able to drive on the highway lol.

and indy its not my money, its my mom offering to buy me a new car so i can drive it with no problems so i dont have to work on it every day.

the 2000 eclipse looks nice

I know Dan has his doubts, but I've owned nearly as many Eclipses as I have Chevelles. Stick with a 90-94 DOHC car & you won't have any troubles. I literally ran one into the ground...err uh... culvert... & it still got back up running until some dumb teenage girl rear-ended me at 35mph. I walked away from the accident & drove the car for two more weeks all crunched up until the insurance company picked it up. I had one with over 200,000 miles & it still ran like new. 95-99 models are good too, but 95 - early 96 had crankshaft problems. Expect gas mileage to be around 30mpg & expect turbo 5 speeds to run high - mid 14s at the track. Stock.
