1996 Tim Allen Design Chevy LT5 Impala SS

Tired of pulling up to special events in the customary limousine, Tim worked in partnership with Chevy?s Jon Moss and Wheel to Wheel?s Jeff Beitzel to transform a 1996 Impala SS into a black, menacingly fast but also supremely comfortable one-of-a-kind ride. In addition to Tim?s exterior and interior aesthetic modifications, this SS holds a DOHC 32-valve Corvette ZR1 engine and delivers 446 hp at 5500 rpm. The rear also includes a ?Binford 6100? badge. (Binford is the hypothetical tool manufacturer from Home Improvement?s ?Tool Time? show.)

I think that car was a 368 if my memory serves me correctly.
