Fleet quality, coupled with regular maintenance, means these cars could theoretically go forever. I know of a Town Car with over 500k, and NYC cabs (retired NYPD Crown Vics) regularly see 750k+. The NYPD ran them to 300k before auctioning them off.
Mine has 260000 miles I got it for free for my birthday Sept 23 this year 2018 car is raggedy needs body and interior work but for some strange reason I'm in love with this 1996 Impala SS I drove it around my neighborhood a couple days ago like it was brand new lmao couldn't tell me nothing I was Happy that day
My dad bought two of them in 96. He gave me one to drive, (as a college student), and put the other one in storage. It had all the dealer prep on it and only had 9 miles. He sold it before he passed away in 2009. I wanted to keep it, but he wanted to let it go. We honored his wish. I drove the piss out of the one I had. It was a great car, till I got rear-ended in a toll booth on the North Dallas Tollway in 2001. Great episode Mike!!!
Wow, I damn near had a tear in my eye when you said that your dad bought you an Impala Ss! I know that I love my Impala ss and would hate to part with it.
Wow I never thought of these as old not even 1960 s cars are old but 1950s yes because of transmissions and electrical and brakes weren't quite as modern as some of the engines like hemis and small block Chevy but in a these are basically 60s cars just updated but pretty cool although I am not a Chevy guy
I bought my DCM 1996 Impala SS on Nov 05, 1995. She was my daily driver for 16 years. I miss that car. She was my starship Enterprise. Meaning it was huge, and it had a warp drive that took you to 158 mph.
Mane Killa, my dad drove a 85 Caprice for as long as I can remember as a little boi. But when the '96 SS came out, he was at the dealership to drive his car off the truck in '96. He still owns it today and it has 60,000 original miles. The ONLY thing he's change is the shocks to Blisteins performance. My dream car is the 2007-2008 Cadillac STS-V and I'm gonna get it too, SOON!!!!!!!!!
@@perryjessup441 I LOVE the CTS-V's too brotha 2 or 4 door. They are just too small for me. I'm 6' 5" and have 3 kids and they all LOVE speed too LMAO!
Great episode, I purchased my 1996 impala ss in 2000 with 64,000 miles. The motor blew up @ 315,000 miles after 13 years of hell from me. I am currently swapping in a 2010 5.3 ls. I purchased my 1995 black cherry impala ss this year with 124,000 miles. Suffice to say I am extremely excited about my new one and swapping my 96. They are great beautiful cars!
I feel the “keep your cool car” comment. I’m the original owner of a 2002 IS300 in solar yellow. It’s absolutely mint. Intake, greddy evo exhaust, all JL & Alpine 1600 watt system. I’ll never sell it.
YES! I've missed these. Hell if you're looking for more cars, I've got a 03 Mach 1 with a blower, built 6 speed swap, independent rear suspeions that I did 98% of the work to. Its nothing too crazy, only about a 450 whp car but its different.
I’m an owner of a 95 Chevy impala SS and I love it so much! I feel like a KING driving it! I have a 5 year old son and since I could remember I would tell him that’s his car and when he gets older and able to drive it I will pass it down to him and his little face lights up with a smile and says thank you daddy I will love my car forever. When I die and my son drives this car I’ll be riding shotgun in Spirit god willing with him and he can hold on to my memories with that car
He'll cherish that car and hopefully never sell it I know if I ever get my dad's obs Z71 k1500 I will never sell it and would restore it to almost factory spec
Super nice ride. I was always a fan of the Impala SS and LT1 cars in general. I had a Procharged 94 Trans Am back in the day that was basically untouchable on the street. Yes there were fast GM cars before the LSx engines came out. Lol
I just bought a 96 impala SS and it is fully documented down to the hand written order form. But it's a rust belt car that needs TLC, but allows me to personalize it even more.
Loved the video. I bought a new 1996 Impala SS in September of 1995. It is stock with only a few minor mods to the exhaust (H pipe and two-chamber Flowmasters). It now has 305,000 miles. The engine and rear end have been replaced. The transmission is original and has never been repaired. My Impala's commuting days are over because I run my own business from home now. It is now essentially a garage queen that we use to shuttle the grand-kids around.
You might as well say that it was a new car with that little bit of mileage on it😉! My former friend had got the deal of a lifetime on a ridiculously immaculate early/mid 80's Cutlass years ago. It was owned by an elder that had it in storage with other vehicles of his. The elder man's son didn't want the car, so the guy I was friends with purchased it for dirt cheap. The car only had an issue with the material on the interior ceiling that had came loose around the edges by both doors, which was nothing to get upset about. That car was barely driven, coffee brown with cream accents, and ran like Usain Bolt.
Mike, you have shown us tons of cars from people of all walks of life, but how you both spoke about race & background mean nothing in the car world mean nothing because if you have a cool car you want to talk to them makes such a huge statement. Thank you for putting that message out there. Bravo!

Killer Mike! I have an 02 Impala and these cars are the best kept secret on the roads. I can't believe how little it has cost me to drive it. So many amazing things about it, I could go on and on. Hope to meet you and share the Impala joy with you someday!
I got out of the Marine Corps in 1996. My plan was to get a 1996 Impala SS. Life and kids, etc happened and I was never able to get my dream car. Big Love to you Mike for living the dream. Thank you for sharing your dream!!!
I can 100% agree with don't give up the cool car. My wife and I have 3 kids and all 3 of my kids can't wait for sundays because that's the day we all get into daddy's car and go out to lunch with the family. I told my wife that I want my kids to grow up looking at my car with the hope/thought that "one day dad will let me drive his car."
@@gunguytx in text it's not going to sound the same lol. you can find my car on instagram by looking up my username on it.

I almost bought a 96 Impala SS while l was stationed in North Carolina. I had no idea that car was so popular with Black folks until I talked to the dudes in my unit about the car. This is still one of my favorite cars ever.
Mike and mike!!! Crazy best episode yet bc I own a 96' SS. I echo the same love for that car. In a room of exotics and prestige cars, that one (96 ss) is the one that grabs me. Thanks Mike for this episode and many more. Thanks
Thank you for the great video and review! Wanted a Bubble Impala since the the late 90s. I've owned a lot of cars new and old but my heart is still with the iconic 1990s cars....the ones I stayed up late night as a kid reading about in Car and Driver/Motor Trend mags. I think its time to get this lazy boy couch with a LT1 V8 strapped to it and live out my childhood dreams.
Love these cars I had 3 so far all black 94 2 maroon 95’s I wanted the 96 but here in Chicago we still have emission testing....& I love modding mines I put an 383 stroker & a lot more none emissions passing mods on mines lol but 1day I’m going to get that 96
I have a 96 I've owned for 5 years now. It had 25,000 miles when I bought it and now has 40,000 miles. I absolutely LOVE this car ever since I first laid eyes on one in 1995! I was 13 years old and I told myself I will have that car when I get older!
My new wife asked me if I was going to sell my 96 IMPALA Clone named Klamaxx. And buy a new Red Eye?! I told her to grab her purse. We drove to Chicago from St.Louis. I took her to lunch in Chicago. She asked me what was going on?! My reply, how many of these cars have ever seen that looks like this one? She stated. None. I told her that I truly love her. And she turns and looks at me and said. I understand now. When I pick up the kids from school in this car the children friends at school run up to it. Now I get Honey. My SS has a ls engine with a super charger, plus I just added NOS. And to top it off its Lexus pearl white. Women love the look and sound of this car. 305 35 24 in the rear and 265 35 22 in the front dropped with a mini tub. There is no other car like this one on the planet! This car is fast. And when I say fast, I mean fast ! This spring, Air Ride!
Mike and Mike should take this act on the road. This is why I love cars. People are people. Rich or poor, drifter, low-rider, race car or clean ride that someone loves and I wanna talk with them. But you gotta have style:)
Some tie in's From this vid 5:206:26 don't sell the cool car / 8:409:21 regular guys car and Ohio Street Freak: 1969 Chevrolet Nova - The House Of Muscle Ep. 4 12.42 14.50 For those that sold the cool car and got a mini van ( The whole vid is worth watching. )
Honestly its the attainable dream cars like this which make us all the happiest to own. You can drive them regularly, if they break there are parts available, and the attainability means you will find more people owning and enjoying them to build friendships with.
I traded my g8 gt for a trailblazer ss recently. I'm just into unique cars. I cant drive what everyone drives. Impala ss is next on my list. I might sell my trans am ws6 to get one.
My dad had a 94 ss, one of the best cars to ever grow up with if you ask me. Always keept in great shape, never saw a lick of snow and got to take it to prom once back in 2011. Unfortunately he sold it for a mustang (never really got over him for that) but fortunately the car sold to a collector last time I checked. Hopefully one day I can purchase it back.
Awesome video guys, absolutely LOVE this House of Muscle series! Absolutely the point of this where you discuss it's not about what KIND of car you have its the passion you have behind it and how we can all connect as gear heads. As long as you don't think yourself above the "commoners" because of the value of your car we can connect across all kinds of things. Had to let out a little giggle about not selling your cool car for a Dad car too... never underestimate how enjoyable those looks are!
Car guys are awesome, glad that you got your dream car. I remember when the Impala SS first came out, I almost pull the trigger and purchase one ( but) I couldn't trade in my fully loaded 86 monte carlo ss with t- tops that I purchased new. Good luck with that bad ass SS.
Ive had my 96 for 14 years now and don't plan to let it go...its for kids later on. Mine is just as clean with 88,000 miles, Jon Moss signature in it, and very subtle looking with the same mods in mind, however I kept my stock rims on. My daily is my FJ Cruiser, but I still get happy when I pull the Imp out of the garage from time to time in the summer months. I even passed up a trade for an early 70's vette at a gas station stop....just wasnt gonna happen...lol
Mike is Awesome he seems like a super cool down-to-earth dude but hes also a very smart and knows his shit have you ever seen the video where he sat down with Bernie Sanders during the election yeah killer mike's that Dude
I love this video and the impala SS but don't forget about the Buick roadmaster same car just with Buick symbols.that's the one I have Buick roadmaster
It took me ten years to get one but it was worth the wait. One thing about the car it will make people look at it old young it dont matter everyone looks at it. Nothing like it I'm loving the one I got.👍
I had a black '96 bought in 2000 with 20k miles. Really loved that car, so many little tweaks you could do adding in 9C1 body mounts and front air deflectors (to cool brakes) and high speed wiper etc. it was fun! Now I've got 2006 Charger bought with 20k miles now over 135k and I love that one to death too. Amazing what 10 model years gets you from 260 hp to 350 hp.
Two guys having a good drive and good conversation different background goes to show you people are just people with respect goes a long way thanks guy peace and blessing
I sold that car to Mike! Killer video on the car, the subtle mods and on Killer Mike!! I love that he personalized it and drives it.

If you’ve been following Killer Mike you know that he is a bonafide car guy. Those 96 Impalas are timeless.
Best looking sedan of the 90’s
How fucked are the both of you lmao
@NFS Veteran You might as well say the Cadillac Fleetwood, Seville or Deville was the best looking then😉.
I bought my DCM 1996 Impala SS on Nov 05, 1995. She was my daily driver for 16 years. I miss that car. She was my starship Enterprise. Meaning it was huge, and it had a warp drive that took you to 158 mph.
Mane Killa, my dad drove a 85 Caprice for as long as I can remember as a little boi. But when the '96 SS came out, he was at the dealership to drive his car off the truck in '96.

The Impala, The Roadmaster, and The Fleetwood. Those 3 are the best B bodies around.
Not only is that SS tastefully done, but Killer Mike seems so passionate about it as well.
He's truly one of the nicest guys you'd ever have the pleasure of meeting.
Miss your shows man
This was the last of the Impala SS. Every impala after it was junk.
Yes you are right
so the 2006 isnt good? because of its looks or performance?
phuck its fwd junk
THE O6 WOULD SMOKE THE 96 EASY! EVEN THOUGH ITS FWD DRIVE.
Idk 2009 impala SS is pretty dope🤣 fwd or not
I. Always. Wanted. 1996. Impala. Nice. Car
This is my favorite car. Either 94, 95, or 96 you cannot go wrong.
Don't forget the Buick roadmaster its the same car just has Buick symbols on it
I had a Roadmaster too. I enjoyed it, cruiser
@@charlescummings2205 would u believe me if I told u I live down the street from the GM plant where the B-bodys where made

Chicago from St.Louis. I took her to lunch in Chicago. She asked me what was going on?! My reply, how many of these cars have ever seen that looks like this one? She stated. None.
I told her that I truly love her. And she turns and looks at me and said. I understand now. When I pick up the kids from school in this car the children friends at school run up to it. Now I get Honey. My SS has a ls engine with a super charger, plus I just added NOS. And to top it off its Lexus pearl white. Women love the look and sound of this car. 305 35 24 in the rear and 265 35 22 in the front dropped with a mini tub. There is no other car like this one on the planet! This car is fast. And when I say fast, I mean fast ! This spring, Air Ride!
Mike and Mike should take this act on the road. This is why I love cars. People are people. Rich or poor, drifter, low-rider, race car or clean ride that someone loves and I wanna talk with them.
But you gotta have style:)

( The whole vid is worth watching. )
Quite possibly my favorite episode yet. Thanks guys.
Big ups to Killa Mike. Big ups to the show. Love it
Honestly its the attainable dream cars like this which make us all the happiest to own. You can drive them regularly, if they break there are parts available, and the attainability means you will find more people owning and enjoying them to build friendships with.
So classy Killa!
You hit the nail right on the head. Lamborghini, Dodge, Honda, we’re all car guys and that’s what should bring us together.
Exactly.
I feel the same way about a G8 GXP 😍
I traded my g8 gt for a trailblazer ss recently. I'm just into unique cars. I cant drive what everyone drives. Impala ss is next on my list. I might sell my trans am ws6 to get one.
My dad had a 94 ss, one of the best cars to ever grow up with if you ask me. Always keept in great shape, never saw a lick of snow and got to take it to prom once back in 2011. Unfortunately he sold it for a mustang (never really got over him for that) but fortunately the car sold to a collector last time I checked. Hopefully one day I can purchase it back.
Love the show I hope you find the Monte Carlo and the person who stole it gets stomped by a circus elephant that went rogue.
Eric Serrano im new to channel? Was it a 60-70s MC? Oh man was it SS?..
@@imrickjames7012 it was a 1970 and I believe it wasn't a SS it had a 350 in it though
fantastic video as always guys, gotta keep these coming. So inspiring and motivational.
that's the last of the best impalas
Awesome video guys, absolutely LOVE this House of Muscle series! Absolutely the point of this where you discuss it's not about what KIND of car you have its the passion you have behind it and how we can all connect as gear heads. As long as you don't think yourself above the "commoners" because of the value of your car we can connect across all kinds of things. Had to let out a little giggle about not selling your cool car for a Dad car too... never underestimate how enjoyable those looks are!
Wrong about the impala ss being used as taxis. The 91-96 Chevy caprices were used as taxis in those cities you named.
No shit dickfuck. Hes talking about the "platform" not the actual ss.
The Impala SS and the Mercury Marauder we're always two cars that I love growing up
What's going on with this channel? No more content?
Car guys are awesome, glad that you got your dream car. I remember when the Impala SS first came out, I almost pull the trigger and purchase one ( but) I couldn't trade in my fully loaded 86 monte carlo ss with t- tops that I purchased new. Good luck with that bad ass SS.
Love these cars!!! ❤️❤️❤️ only thing I hated was the Opti spark setup on those LT1 but still one of the baddest muscle cars ever!!!!
Absolutely Stunning!! I have a 1996 Caprice Classic... Had it for close to 20 yrs... Giving it to my youngest when he gets his license....
Very good episode brutha. Beard is on point btw. #HeavyChevyKeepRollin
Thanks!
What a class act Mike is. Thanks for being you Mike. Goes a long way this day and age.
Damn I miss mine 😪
Ive had my 96 for 14 years now and don't plan to let it go...its for kids later on. Mine is just as clean with 88,000 miles, Jon Moss signature in it, and very subtle looking with the same mods in mind, however I kept my stock rims on. My daily is my FJ Cruiser, but I still get happy when I pull the Imp out of the garage from time to time in the summer months. I even passed up a trade for an early 70's vette at a gas station stop....just wasnt gonna happen...lol
Mike has great taste. A lesser man would've gotten a Rolls Royce and slapped some 22 inch dubs on there.
Thomas Christopher White whaaaaat are 22 in dubs? Lmao
@@MrHiawatha08 Look em up and see the horror.
I'm getting my new 1996 Chevrolet impala Monday morning as a classic auto loan I think God for my wonderful good credit 😉👍.
Mike is Awesome he seems like a super cool down-to-earth dude but hes also a very smart and knows his shit have you ever seen the video where he sat down with Bernie Sanders during the election yeah killer mike's that Dude
killer mike is one of my favorite rappers of all time... i listen to RTJ all day long
Man what the he’ll happen to this channel .
Nice stance, wheels accent the car well. Beautiful car, they are truly an iconic vehicle
What happened to Mike? What happened to this channel?
Got to love Mike, he's such a chill humble dude. Honestly i don't see how that thing doesn't have an ls swap it in with an lsa blower!
I love this video and the impala SS but don't forget about the Buick roadmaster same car just with Buick symbols.that's the one I have Buick roadmaster
AI3xZJE41 YT the sleeper version
Buick roadmaster? BUICK LOADMASTER
To big two heavy..
@@melloyellow6375 it's a saden it's sopose to be but run like a spot car
It took me ten years to get one but it was worth the wait. One thing about the car it will make people look at it old young it dont matter everyone looks at it. Nothing like it I'm loving the one I got.👍
RTJ!! 👉🤛
I had a black '96 bought in 2000 with 20k miles. Really loved that car, so many little tweaks you could do adding in 9C1 body mounts and front air deflectors (to cool brakes) and high speed wiper etc. it was fun! Now I've got 2006 Charger bought with 20k miles now over 135k and I love that one to death too. Amazing what 10 model years gets you from 260 hp to 350 hp.
That's why it called GROWN MAN TOY'S
I just sat and watched this video twice......Very inspiring story from Mike!
How would a regular guy or girl get their awesome ride on the House of Muscle?
