The 1995 Impala remained primarily unchanged from the 1994 version. It retained the 5.7-liter V8 engine, calibrated to output 260 horsepower at 5,000 rpm. The car paid homage to the muscle car roots of the past with rear-wheel drive and a wider-than-average wheelbase (which was still much smaller than the original Impalas). Due to the limited run of the 3rd generation of Impalas, these cars are considered fairly valuable today and could become true collectors' items.
