I like to touch

And the intewior

[@joshomelia3334]

I’m in love of the 90s impalas/caprices. They’re one of the best full size sedans in America.

[@لكزس460-ث1ل]

In the world

[@nicholas5129]

I have to get one some day. They are pretty rare in Poland, however they are very cheap to drive if you add LPG installation :)

[@joshomelia3334]

That too. لكزس 460

[@MidnightBlue98]

Josh O'Melia I have a 95 SS myself and I fall in love with it more each time I drive it. They just don’t make cars like these anymore unfortunately

[@joshomelia3334]

95-96 were the last two years for impalas to be in that immaculate body shape. I just was in shocked to see that impala from the video still looks like it was drove off from the dealership showcase. What a car!

[@jamelmoore4356]

Such a simple car, yet so iconic! What I wouldn’t give for GM, Ford and Chrysler to go back to producing the truly large, RWD-based American sedan!...

[@jaredbesanceney1]

Maybe you could give them a lot of buyers for the big cars, lol

[@IKhanNot]

Yep. People were brainwashed by the whole economical stuff that every manufacturer is now stuffing tiny turbocharged motors that in some case are completely trash. Yeah, save some money on fuel but spend those savings on repairs down the line. Big old motors like this last forever.

[@AUTOLISTAS]

@@IKhanNot That is not brainwash, that is economy.

[@BLOEDVLEK]

This and the mercury marauder are so badass. It is sad nothing like them exists anymore

[@Mateo12485]

@@AUTOLISTAS Lmao, "that is economy". If you're buying a new car, you can afford gas. If you're buying a used car, no manufacturer even cares about you since their not making any money off of you.

[@rabeeaalmahmoudi8704]

U're the MAN for going back to these old reviews ! Keep up the good work bro

[@MarloSoBalJr]

I would prefer for him to this style of review for older or no longer in-production cars he review, then go ahead with the "showcase" style review for newer cars to rack in that dough for himself.

[@F6HemiCharger]

I remember seeing these all over the place when I was growing up. Not always an SS but this body style Impala. I also remember these as police cars.

[@automan224]

The best part of Captain Marvel was seeing Samuel L Jackson Drive this car

[@hulavaultboy5935]

Nick Fury was arguably the best thing about Captain Marvel.

[@fade7755]

Thought that maybe the car used in the movie did NOT match the timeline of the movie.... hmmm

[@automan224]

fa de movie is set in 1995

[@BornToBeFamed]

Best part of the movie was the box impala and the bbody 94-96 😂😂 those scenes alone sold me

[@fonzdj]

Yeah it was badass that Fury drove that SS in Captain Marvel.

[@SudeennnSam]

I’m a simple man. I see sleeper cars, I hit the ‘Like’ button

[@cnvq8833]

How you gonna call a car with 260whp a sleeper?

[@SudeennnSam]

CNVQ take away the spoiler and replace the rims, you wont be able to tell the difference between a regular Caprice & Impala SS. Thats why its a sleeper. Its an unassuming sedan with higher horsepower that people can mistake it for a regular grandpa Caprice. And no. The term ‘sleeper cars’ doesn’t necessarily belong on 400HP vehicles only. This was 1995, when 250HP on a sedan was considered big numbers, and 400HP was still considered supercar territory. Even the 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B had 276HP. So, if you’re saying this Impala is not a sleeper because it only makes 260HP, then your argument is invalid

[@davidbest1]

This and the Buick Grand National GNX are my favourite American cars

[@gabrielflores5394]

David Best dont forget the 84-87 monte carlo ss

[@georgestrickland9278]

mine too,i have a 94 ss and a 87 gn

[@UNPOCOLOCO444]

[@ricochetey]

Honestly I would agree the ones after are kind of shitboxes plus front wheel drive... need I say more.

[@UNPOCOLOCO444]

ricochetey you said it all bro.

[@MarloSoBalJr]

Much of the newer ones... hell anything Chevy and Buick is putting out these days are nothing but re-badges. No creativity anymore down in Detroit.

[@UNPOCOLOCO444]

MarloSoBalJr yeah it’s too bad.

[@chriscorkum629]

except my 06 SS with the 5.3 would leave this impala in the dust :/

[@middleeastern6497]

That car was called "Caprice SS" during 90's in my country. The sound of engine's RPM was mighty! My father owned one, i remember my classmates were Impressed with it when he was picking me up from school... It was truly American car!

[@spook5756]

Absolutely. My son had one when he was working in Kuwait. 👍🏾

[@user-file-x-life]

In my contry, it was called soap, im not really joking, the caprice 1991-1998 was called soap so same thing with the impala

[@Dvasqz]

One of my absolute dream cars. This one is ridiculously clean.

[@2W3X4YZ5]

The LT1 and derivative were among the last 350’s that made the “heartbeat” sound. I understand the later cars are more desirable, because of updates, but knowing my way around these cars, I believe the overall highest quality ones were the first model year. By 96 you were hearing about pretty serious quality issues, especially with the interior trim, power windows etc. Not that any of this would stop me from buying another one. My last one was an early 95 in black, which I took to Mexico and got a custom leather headliner installed in. The guy I sold it to put a T56 manual transmission in it, and built a TPI 383 for it. I Can. Not. Believe. that my 2017 CX-9 is heavier than this car. If you like this car, I’d appreciate your review of a 90 model 454SS truck. Have a feeling you would like it. 230 hp? Yes. (So they say) Burn both rear tires completely off the truck? Absolutely.

[@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCK]

2W3X4YZ5 that’s kind of where the heartbeat of America thing came From

[@2W3X4YZ5]

@Rusty pickup man Copy confirm.

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

These vehicles are super rare, let alone in that great of condition! Almost all of the ones I see now are either beaten to death/abused, and/or donk'd out with distasteful mods. Thank you for sharing this time capsule with us, Kyle.

[@carsonbrooks1326]

Found a 95 in great condition and in the black color too. The guy says he rebuilt the trans a year ago but I'll probably rebuild it again just to be safe

[@Daniellopez-tx5xq]

I agree I like those B bodies just the way they left from the assembly line

[@Forge17]

Love the in depth review! I’d love to see a 95-97 Lincoln Town car review. I’m convinced itl be a future classic just like that special Roadmaster you had

[@Forge17]

bassgodcliff I prefer the 95-97 interior but they’re all pretty nice! My grandfather’s 96 was the car I remember from my childhood. That black leather interior and wood trim is timeless

[@anthonyarmstrong1423]

The 95'-97' Town Car is already a classic right with the Roadmaster, Caprice,Impala, Bonneville, LeSabre and Delta 88 smh love those cars💯

[@solidsnake5614]

Just like the old days

[@68shortwide]

As a 96 DCM owner I honestly really appreciate the accuracy and quality of the review! Subbed awhile back at the beginning of the 240 build, and the content just keeps getting better. You should definitely pick one of these up for a project when you get done with one of the others.

[@loganwest1337]

So no one is gonna talk about that car having very low oil pressure and very high coolant temp?

Logan West could be sensor issues

Jason Roman What's the difference between the 95 and 96?

[@rickhunter6513]

The senate 96 was the only year with an analog dashboard and center shifter

[@stokerboiler]

The car is indeed excellent, but the weak spot is that Gen II small block. Has reliability issues in the valve train. Mine drove me nuts. I swapped in a LS2 out of a mid 2000s Vette. Not only more powerful (360 HP on the dyno) but totally reliable. Compact size gave me room for mid-length headers. Mine has Borla exhaust and a mild street cam.

[@qdood]

Thank you my friend. That was a fun one to watch. Enjoyed it!
