1996 Impala SS: Killer Mike's Chariot
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2018
- It was, is and always will be one of the coolest cars that Chevrolet has ever produced. The Chevrolet Impala SS, after a long absence, reappeared in 1994 with slick black paint, a 260bhp LT1 V8 and a presence that made it one of the most sinister cars of the day.
This particular 1996 Impala SS, with a mere 1,700 original miles, is owned by one Michael Render, AKA Killer Mike from Run The Jewels. However unlike most folks who would shoehorn something like this away from the public, Mike instead purchased it for one reason and one reason only - to use it as a daily driver.

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.
AutotopiaLA Outstanding! And your channel is great. I’ve been subscribed since you had 800 subscribers
Lucky ass
Shout out to Autotopia LA, good videos and car content
That bitch clean.
I’m a fan of 96 impala. I had a clean diamond white pearl 93 caprice that police repo this past summer
Killer Mike seems like a genuinely nice dude and someone who would be awesome to have a few beers and chat cars with!
Nicest guy ever.
Yea he def down to earth!! He's a great guy u can catch him at his businesses from time to time
I've been lucky enough to hang out with Mike several times, and he is indeed the nicest guy you could imagine.
bro he is I saw run the jewels in philly and they spent a whole hour almost outside saying hello, he also recognized me and my brother and their next tour, really down to earth fella :).
Yup🍻true that he koo nice but not weak . respect
Who comes by every so often hoping for an upload? Miss this channel
Bulletproof is an understatement my 96 impala has 450,000 miles on it and is still going strong
Levi Anderson are you serious? Damn!
@@Cosmicshroom yes my dad got it new in 96 and passed it to me as my first car about 5 years ago
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.
How much tranny work have you done. Those were the weak links on the car.
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
Sweet ass Impala the beard rocks. Killer Mike is a great guy. He seems to be a genuinely kind person. The world needs more of that.
I agree
Best car ever!!!
"Cleanest SS" - immediately thought what Larry's opinion would be ;)
Yea!!!
best FAMILY car
@@roknroy1 indeed. Well, if you dont care to much for their safety.
@@StephenButlerOne it's unsafe? i didn't know that
Most people just don't understand that, the older cars just have more personality than the new ones.
That's exactly correct.
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
Don't forget about the Buick roadmaster its the same car just has Buick symbols
I agree,i have 5 car's but my favorite 2 are my 2003 grand marquis and 1988 box chevy
@@vegalee8955 yeah dog love that box chevy caprice that's my favorite of my4 now if we talking SUV love my 88suburban c20 with the 454engine
I forgot how much I liked those Impalas and that one is gorgeous.
I couldn't click this fast enough. Killer Mike is a bad dude, and this gen Impala SS is killer.
He is a sack of shit, quit trying to suck him off douche bag.
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!!!
Man, I think I recall that happening. It was NDT @ Park Ln?
Craig Pasquinzo darn wish you would've kept dad's!
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.
SmileytheFeralCat Yes sir, that's where it happened. Very small world.
You should find it and buy it back
Mike Musto is so cool, even his beard grows racing stripes. I really enjoy the show and am VERY glad to see every episode.
Thanks man!
Mike Musto is a sweetheart of a guy! So friendly and giving of his time. He is one of the greats in the car world.
I'm waiting for MM to play a fuzzy guitar that spins. . . ..
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😉.
Dope interview.👏 There's still a few things in this country that can still bring everyone together, and cars is one of um.
Man O War damn straight brother
100% Correct
Preach!
CARS, SPORTS (still) and MUSIC are the things that bring everyone together! peace
@@TheHouseOfMuscle I totally agree
If you’ve been following Killer Mike you know that he is a bonafide car guy. Those 96 Impalas are timeless.
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.
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!
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
This really makes me want an impala SS
I love how the impala looks so simple yet so beautiful
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
Charles Cummings not a fan of the mirrors & the triangle shape rear quarter emblem on the 94's but other than that great car
94-96 Cadillac Fleetwood same chassis as well. Just slightly longer.
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!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget about the Buick roadmaster its the same car just has Buick symbols on it
Friend of mine has a 2 door cts v 2017. It's a bad bitch almost scary fast
@@TheRealZJE313 And the Cadillac Fleetwood too brotha! I use to call them the Triple Threat LOL!
@@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!
Hell yeah the sts-v are sick really comfortable cars.
1600 factory miles! Holy cow!
King David 314 I worked with a older guy that had a 95. He drove a diesel to work and the SS stayed in a barn. In and out immaculate.
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.
Hes a lucky guy to get such a nice exapmle
The Impala SS and the Mercury Marauder we're always two cars that I love growing up
This man got his dream car dropped on his lap! I'm so happy for him!
You captured how our hobby unites people - awesome work THOM!
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
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 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.
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.
Samekies
You are back!!!!!! And that it's great man!!!!!
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.
I'm getting my new 1996 Chevrolet impala Monday morning as a classic auto loan I think God for my wonderful good credit 😉👍.
I miss this show... Miss the host...
I have a 96 and love that thing...eventually planning to ls swap and T56
Put a TH400 and a Big Ls motor
Coyote swap it
Slow Driver LMAO definitely not a 400. it only got 3 speed .
Marcus Crawford 👎
bmh 86 fuck that LS swap just build the LT1 this in there
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this!!! Mike and Mike talking cars and this Impala is SPOT ON!!!!! Done just right
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.
"Only" my dude those are pretty damn good numbers if you ask me
Killer Mike is an awesome dude and I really like his music I pledge allegiance to the Grind was magnificent
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:)
Quite possibly my favorite episode yet. Thanks guys.
I’ve made it my goal to get a 96 SS by next year.
It's been a year dude. Did you get it?
Probably only going to rise in price so id get on that asap
👂🏿👂🏿👂🏿
It’s been 2 years you got it?
I don’t think he got 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.
I just sat and watched this video twice......Very inspiring story from Mike!
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....
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."
TheMysticSpade what kind of car do you have?
@@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. But in short it's a 1999 BMW E39 540i with a fully built V8 with a dumped exhaust, Seibon Carbon hood and trunk. White Cosmis 5 spoke wheels against an Orien Blue paint job (midnight blue for reference). It's low and loud and a quick as hell sedan that I can load the family up in without anyone being uncomfortable. You can also search here on youtube "TheMysticSpade E39" and a few of my car videos will pop up as well.
Where the hell you been?
We have missed you guys..
Working! Video production costs a lot!
@@TheHouseOfMuscle understood.. we miss you man.. can you guys so it on the cheap?
Check out justa6 his cost vs quality" is amazing. Just a couple collage age guys doing something special.
@@TheZmt325 Will do and thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah! Where the hell have you been? We need more real car guy car shows.
Wow! I must have been under a rock for while! I haven't seen you since DRIVE days. Glad i came across this video. I'm definitely subscribing now. Love the authentic passion.
This and 1987 GNX are my dream cars! Your vid makes me smile all the time, love it!!! Thx dude!
Great episode...so glad to see your videos again. I always enjoy the genuine way you do the show. Thank you!
whoever gave the thumbs down is a clown.....
jocktheglide crown vic owners. Lol
Blame youtube. The most reliable way to get rid of recommendations of any type of video is to dislike it.
I’m a clown so what
@Joshua Manning ur fucking dumb.
I finally got my 1996 Chevy Impala SS car today it feels good to have great wonderful credit 😊👍.
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
What's going on with this channel? No more content?
So classy Killa!
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
Never thought I would see one that clean and original! I know mike would enjoy driving my truck!!
I still would love to own this vehicle. This one is beautiful.
Awesome story I'm inspired to finish my 442.👍 now to find the time.😉
Got to make the time my man. I call it my vacation in my garage n the lady like the fact that i'm home.
The body is off the frame on my cutlass. My female is happy I'm home as also.
killer mike is one of my favorite rappers of all time... i listen to RTJ all day long
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.
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!
Big ups to Killa Mike. Big ups to the show. Love it
What a class act Mike is. Thanks for being you Mike. Goes a long way this day and age.
fantastic video as always guys, gotta keep these coming. So inspiring and motivational.
My dream car. One day I will own one of these

Hell yeah
Man what the he’ll happen to this channel .
The internet needs more Mike.
I live in North Florida...always wanted an Impala SS....couldn't find one, so I got a 1993 MB W124 400E with the 4.2 V8, and I love it!!!!
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.
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 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!!!
That brotha killer mike is a stand up,down to earth relatable dude.
that's the last of the best impalas
Very good episode brutha. Beard is on point btw. #HeavyChevyKeepRollin
Thanks!
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 everything about this video! Atlanta, Killer Mike, Musto, the muscle scene in my home city.
Damn I miss mine 😪
Mike! That beard!
Fucking majestic.
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!
I've had my 96 SS since 2003 Still love it.
Love these cars!!! ❤️❤️❤️ only thing I hated was the Opti spark setup on those LT1 but still one of the baddest muscle cars ever!!!!
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
Just found this channel and love it
Love Mike & love the impala. I drive my 94 everyday & I have no regrets 🖤
Some tie in's

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.
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!
Glad your back on TH-cam.!!!! Time to binge old episodes
RTJ!! 👉🤛
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
Man I miss this channel....... 😟😭
Nice stance, wheels accent the car well. Beautiful car, they are truly an iconic vehicle
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.
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
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!
I remember when these first came out, loved them then, love them now.
That's why it called GROWN MAN TOY'S
What happened to Mike? What happened to this channel?
My dad bought my mom a ‘95 SS in Aug of ‘95. She loved to drive that car! Funny story. Mom wanted me to meet her for lunch and she follows me out , I had an ‘05 GTO at the time. We get on the interstate and she speeds by me, and I mean SPEEDS!! I look down, I’m doing 87 and she is pulling away!! Oh yeah, she was 82 at the time!! Unfortunately, she is now in late stage dementia and we are going have to sell it to pay for her care. She really loved it and treated it like her baby.
I'm putting together my 96 and I'm loving it!!!!
no offense like at all, but rather have a Roadmaster
