While we can thank rappers for making the “six-four” Impala so popular in modern culture, newer iterations of the car haven’t exactly been as lyrically lauded.
Some though would argue that the seventh-generation Impala was the last iteration of this nameplate to ever look appealing, if not “cool”. All of them were SS-spec models and were performance-oriented, at least relatively speaking.
This particular one is a 1996 model and according to its Bring a Trailer listing, it has been driven just 2,200 miles (3,540 km), which to be fair, isn’t as great as this 237-mile one we found back in February, but it’s still impressive for a two and a half decade old car.

The exterior features body-color trim, a single bar grille, chrome bowtie badge, trunk lid spoiler, polished aluminum 17-inch wheels, plus four-wheel disc brakes with 12-inch vented rotors and ABS.
Inside, we spot grey leather upholstery with matching carpets, power-adjustable front seats with SS logos embroidered in the headrests, air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a factory stereo system connected to a Delco 12-disc CD changer in the trunk.
Power comes from a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 unit, sending 260 HP (264 PS) and 330 lb-ft (447 Nm) to the rear wheels with the aid of a 4-speed automatic gearbox and a standard limited slip rear differential. When new, this car could accelerate to 60 mph (96 km/h) in about 7 seconds flat, before maxing out at 142 mph (229 km/h).
At the time of publishing this article, the highest bid stood at $10,202 with seven days left. How high (or low) would you go for this classic American big-sedan?
