1996 DCM Impala (Dark Cherry Metallic) Jon Moss Signature Series Tri-9 Chevy Impala SS No Reserve Mileage 102,900 (April 2016) / Build Date Sept 15, 1995 Purchased October 1996, second owner. The car is basically stock mechanically with many modifications to enhance its appearance and establish individuality. The engine was replaced due to a faulty crank shaft (it snapped in half and destroyed the original engine) in November of 1999 at 45,000 miles. The car is in great mechanical shape but the clear-coat paint is failing and, although they have plenty of tread, the tires are old. The car has been my daily driver for the past 4 months, before that it was a one day a week princess. I am only parting with it because my new job requires a lot of travel, I need something more gas efficient (re: Honda or Acura). Photos taken April 9, 2016.
