The Impala SS went into production on February 14, at GM's plant in Arlington , Texas, [2] and was almost identical cosmetically to the concept car, the only noticeable change being the chromed bowtie logo on the grill vs a red logo on the concept. The car was, in essence, a high-performance version of the Caprice. From a mechanical standpoint, it used the Caprice 9C1 police package as its base and as such got most of the equipment formerly available only to law enforcement and government agencies.
This included a sport-tuned suspension with reinforced shocks and springs, a high-capacity reverse flow cooling system derived from the Corvette's LT1 , larger four-wheel disc brakes, transmission cooler, dual exhaust, a higher-output electrical system, and other minor mechanical alterations.

However there is a growing trend of replacing the 4LE transmission, with the T 6-speed manual from the Camaro and Firebird using aftermarket kits. Cosmetically, the Impala SS received body-colored trim, which helped reduce the sometimes "bloated" look of the standard Caprice, a unique single-bar grille with no hood ornament and, a rear deck spoiler.
Inside, the car came with a central console with cup holders and models and a storage compartment, leather seats embroidered with the Impala SS logo, and a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel.
