Description: This is one of the strangest cases involving a stolen vehicle we've heard in a while. By chance, the car's owner happens to be comedian Tim Allen, star of the old TV series "Home Improv...Add Comments19
Jason BrownDec 14, 2012 Not sure what Brian is reading... Btw why is the thumbnail Impala not Tim Allen's Impala?
Lou GuerreroDec 14, 2012 Read the article. It has an LS9?!? Haahahahahaha
Jag LoveDec 13, 2012 Colby & Shelby are right. Unless Tim Allen has since put another engine in it, it's well-known his Impala has an LS5 and was customized for him by GM. As for this being "ironic", it's only ironic in the Alanis Morrisette sense.
Greg LewisDec 13, 2012 Sorry, never cared for this car. Was never a fan of the caprice either. Impala name deserved better separation...
Miguel JimenezDec 13, 2012 Isn't this ironic? A lot of people don't know it but Tim Allen has a criminal record for GTA.
Shelby CassandraDec 13, 2012 Get over myself? Why? Are you one of the confused people that can't think past last week?
David ParentiDec 13, 2012 A 74 year old guy I work with has one of these in mint condition. Looks stock (except for the gauges on the dash) till he starts it up. It's super loud and has a built motor cammed. 74 year old guy driving it. Talk about sleeper.

Chris BensonDec 16, 2012 @jag love. The Binford 6100 was the take on the steering wheel lock in the episode "too many cooks".
True story.
Jesse AndersenDec 15, 2012 Haha, I guess some people think there is only 1 ZR-1. For all y'all knuckleheads out there they had one in the seventies, nineties, and today. Son must've been on coke too tho eh?
David GomezDec 15, 2012 My favorite 350 of all time.
Lou GuerreroDec 14, 2012 Jesus, didn't realize so many crabuzzers don't know wtf an LT5 ZR1 is.
Jag LoveDec 13, 2012 Miguel is correct. It's the LT5. It was hugely publicized (at the time) that GM customized the car for him, using an LT5. If I remember correctly, they even used it on "Home Improvement", calling it the Binford 6100 (or something).
Greg LewisDec 13, 2012 Customized. So I don't think the year the donor motor came from means anything. He pimped the motor before dropping it in
Miguel JimenezDec 13, 2012 @Max this isn't the LS9. It's the LT5 from the C4 ZR1.
Garrick LingleDec 13, 2012 It's probably from a 91 corvette? There fore it's only 450 hp
Max JabaayDec 13, 2012 ZR1's(LS9's) make more hp than 450.

It is an lt5
*LT5, not LS5

Get over myself? Why? Are you one of the confused people that can't think past last week?
Shelby get over your self.
BOOM!
It's not the new ZR1 engine, it's the C4 ZR1 engine, which is the LT5.
Uhhhh!?
I'm sure it isn't an LS9. Do you realize this isn't the first ZR1? Most likely it is a tuned LT5 (?).
Read the article. Theres an LS9 motor in it. This things a sleeper.
I'd steal it.
They aren't that fast lol but can be. I like these cars a lot.
I like them they can real move
It's a muscle car. Personally I don't like them but still an ultimate sleeper
A 1996 Impala for a collection?
