Look in the trunk, at the spid sticker on the lid, find the WX3 code, look on the Dr. door at the tire sticker...should state 17" tires, also the VIN can tell you, I just can't remember what the 8th digit is suppose to be. It is a known issue on titles for these cars as the Impala IS an option on Caprice's.

The VIN will not tell you - no difference between a Caprice and an Impala SS of the 94-96 vintage. The WX3 RPO code and the 17" wheel sticker are the only indications. But you may want to match the VIN number on the trunk sticker to that of the car to ensure someone hasn't swapped an Impala SS trunk lid with a WX3 code onto a non-SS car.

Unless it's a clone and they swapped the rear deck lid. There's also an options sticker on the right side cowl with the WX3 code, but you'd have to remove the passenger fender to see it.

Other subtle differences from a civi caprice:
SS and 9C1 got heavier boxed frame
Wider rear axle housing
quick ratio steering

Way to pay attention Glen... :biggrin:

Think the only thing the vin # will tell you is if it has an LT1

Well Terry, you do know that I'm a perty fart smeller. But I didn't know the VIN was on the trunk sticker. Never took to much of a look back there. :wink:

8th digit in the VIN denotes engine in the Tri-Nine Impalas,
P = LT1 350 ci V8
W = L99 262 ci V8
