Christopher's Eleanor Story (the impossible dream car!) 

Christopher is my favorite story teller on this channel. His life could almost be a movie 😂

We need an animated version of this. Too bad there wasn't a "wife at the time", but we did get a "girlfriend isn't going to like this but I can get a new one."

Christopher is back!

Waking up to watch Christopher talking about fighting dogs was unexpected...and amazing. You'll get one!

If it was up to me Christopher would be a once a week guest at least, he is by far my favorite person on this channel.

Chris wearing an OutKast shirt tells me all I need to know. LEGEND

As I’ve said many, many times every time I see Christopher is up on a story of his I tune in waiting like a kid on Christmas morning. Thank you Ed!

A real life Eleanor story

1991-1996 Chevy Caprice is my favorite car of all time. Had a few. Loved them all.

I used to drive by a house almost weekly in Norman Oklahoma on my way to the golf course. This dude had two in his driveway. They’re beautiful beasts.

What a story. Chris is such a great storyteller!

This is also my favorite car. I’d drop a 6.0 LS in it and big fat sway bars for modern power, though.

Best stories he puts so much detail you can feel his passion

“Forget her, find another one! This cars AWESOME! “ yep 😎

More Chris stories! He NEVER disappoints!

The Legend! The greatest storyteller of all time, Mr. Christopher Michaels! Your stories paint such vivid pictures. That car is on my bucket list as well. I hope ya get to realize your dream someday. Didn’t the ‘96 models have a center console option that the ‘94-95s didn’t? That sticks in my mind for some reason as the one to get.

I don't know how rich Christopher is financially but he is rich in story's. Keepem coming

This makes me miss my 96 Impala SS so bad! I never should have sold it

I love his stories!

He's back! Christopher and Rabbit are the only reasons I watch vinwiki

I can’t wait to get off work to watch this!!! This guy is the best story teller!!!!!

Yes!!! It's Christopher!

Can confirm, graduated in 1995, this car was dope AF.

Love any story told by Christopher!

Annnnnnd the greatest storyteller on the channel doesn’t disappoint !!!! Thank you Christopher Michaels !!!

I’ve been looking for a clapped out impala SS since the 90s as well. A couple months ago i was at my local Aldi and saw one pull into the handicap spot and an older gentleman stepped out. There was trash falling out of it and the entire interior was piled full of garbage and what not. Paint faded, 200k miles, and just about everything was worn or broken. I asked him if he was interested in selling it and he sternly told me no. Someday I’ll find a clapped out one I can hoon.

Christopher's stories are always so fantastic (of course, he's one hell of a story teller, which makes eveything even more enjoyable!) Fun fact - I have the book that has that same two pages with the SS and specs lol. Cheers from hot and sunny Portugal!

Couldn't afford one as a kid but got a 96 caprice 9c1... in black. Those cars are amazing. Full frame, 2 tons, still turn heads.

What a great story teller , awesome . We need more Christopher stories !!!!

This car always reminds me of a build where the car was an SS but the customer had spots and push bumper from a police impala installed, and then a more modern LS3 and 6L80 put into it, as well as a bunch of really trick custom CNC bits and bobs added to the interior for a high quality user experience. The story was that the owner did a lot of cross-country driving because he hated flying and wanted a powerful reliable car. Sounds like a sweet build to me.

Christopher is an absolute LEGEND! I understand how he feels. I miss my BBB 96 SS. Those cars are SO good!

I have owned 22 of these chevy impala ss"s in every color and condition still one of my favorites! after being in the car business since 14 i am currently 51 i have amazing stories i can go on for days!

That exact magazine ad is my earliest memory of a car making an impression on me. I was in the 1st grade and we were cutting up magazines for some art project. I tore those pages out and brought them home.

Just saw the MORR episode yhat you were in! You sire so end up with some wild stories and I'll bet that day will be memorable! The Porsche was interesting to watch trying to clb the samd chute??

I always love that guy's stories. One of the best story tellers ever

We have a 94 SS. My dad is the second owner, my aunt bought it brand new, so it has been in the family since new. It's a badass ride 👍

about 20 years ago i had a 96 Police car painted black with all the impala badging done, i still miss that car.

He’s back! Hopefully Christopher finds one. I have similar memories and views on the ‘96 SS and would love to own one as well.

Awesome! Love his storytelling. Saw the Hot-Wheels car competition show with him in it, that was cool!

I have wanted one of those since I saw that same ad in a magazine when I was about 13

My man Chris has great taste in cars, motorcycles, and music! Outkast. Niceeee

Haven't watched vinkwiki in a few months and first vide I click today is my boy🔥🔥🔥 hell yea

Just picked up a CLEAN 92 custom cruiser wagon. No wood on it either. 350 limited slip diff camaro 20's trans slipiing.....but made it from Chicago to madison wisconsin right after I bought it. Lol. Love them bubble cars man. I'd have fought off a pack of dogs for this one for SURE! Always nice hearing from Christopher 🤘

Christopher is one of my favorites to watch he is good at telling stories

Can confirm everything Christopher said about this car is 💯 true. Grandfather bought one new in 1995. A blue collar family man his entire life, was the first car he’d bought new off the lot. Used it only for summer road trips and would not let grandma drive it saying it had too much power. Told me years later “she tops out at 142. Don’t tell your grandma!” Given to me before his death in 2010.

Love those Impalas. I had a 95 9C1 Police Caprice for years. It was the secret Impala that I could actually afford. It was a former K-9 unit and came without rear seats and had a tornado of dog hair when I first rolled down the windows and smell that never completely went away but god I loved it. Swapped in an interior from a Buick Roadmaster and cruised in comfort. I dream about it sometimes.

I see Chris, i click and like

What a story! Amazing

I felt the same way when i first seen the 96 Impala SS, don't remember how old i was (I'll be 41 this year), but i was in the passenger side seat of one of my buddies cars, i was young, it wss probably 97-98 (don't know why i never seen one before, me being highly interested in cars), but there was one in front of us at the light, I'm like "that doesn't look like a regular old Caprice" and i noticed the dual exhaust, and i noticed that emblem on the back, and it took me like an hour of racking my brain after the SS left that light with the tires smoking (good first impression) to finally realize "hey, that's an Impala emblem, but stylized" (i literally owned a '65 Impala when i was 15-16)..... since that day I've wanted one, still haven't bought one, probably definitely not going to be able to afford a clean one now with the way the pricing has gone rather recently lol.....one day maybe 😅

My guy!!! One of the greats.

There is a bunch out here in Phoenix area... Plus you get with NO rust or body cancer.... It's worth it, but hard to find someone wanting to part with it. the people who own that car, know what they have and will hold on to it for dear life.... Thats like me with my '05 GTO... not a popular car when it came out, but anyone who has drivin one, knows that it is a special car... and with Pontiac going under in '09/'10 era, parts became instant overnight hard to find... I have a stock pile of extras (seat leather, half shaft, carrier barrings, wheel, seals and other misc buttons and things.... all new in package just incase... I purchased my GTO at 3.5 years old with 6k miles on it... now has nearly 158k miles in the 14 years i've owned her...

This made me just love my 94 more I was on the fence to sell it but I wanted that year since it came out n there was only 6035 95 and 95s cars are faster than me but they are timeless rides !! Great story brother

Who remembers the 15yo that stole one in the late nineties and outran the news and police helicopters on the turner turnpike between OKC and Tulsa?

That old skool style Outcast shirt is crazy cool too.

Oh I needed a Christopher story today thanks Ed!

Finally a video worth watching it’s been months of Ed just bragging about Lambos

My grandpas last car was a 98 Chevy Caprice and I been trying to find one ever since I know your struggle

Chris is one of my favorite people ever, Im excited to visit with him next month!

Everyone should have a friend like Christopher.

Had the privilege of driving a 96 cross country in five days in 96 from Daytona to Seattle with a college (retired Airforce,could have been my dad, both working for Boeing at the time). Best trip ever!! Sadly the car burned down a few years later due to the dreaded fuel line issue. Miss my colleague, the nineties and that car ❤

“Let’s tear this thing up, I don’t even like my job” 😂😂😂

My prayers have been answered... MORE CHRIS

My parents bought a 1995 impala ss brand new in 1995. It was the cherry color. Stayed in our family tell 2018 and the motor blew at 223k miles. Never had any major problems with it.

There's a nice looking Impalla SS going up for auction at the Dallas Mecum auction in September. T129 is the lot number. It goes across the block on a Thursday, so it should sell for relatively cheap.

I miss your stories .. glad to c u back

He is a great story teller. Also, love the outkast shirt

Love this guys stories

Anytime I see a Christopher story on VinWiki I have to watch it immediately!

Love my 96 as well. Such a great car

Why are always the guys with an accent the best story tellers 😂

Love Christoper's stories. that man will be everyone's favorite old man one day

Hilarious story! My uncle down in florida owns that generation impala ss in black. I haven’t seen it in a couple of years but I know he takes really great care of it, and it’s garage kept. Wish I knew the mileage, yet I’m sure he would ask a pretty penny for it 😅.

Best looking 90s car. I love the wagons too. That's why my daily is a 95 caprice wagon

My boy Christopher! Hell yeah!

I did this in a new 2014 SS. My buddy was the sales person.

96BBB was my first car. Wish I had kept it stock and still had it.

Man can Christopher tell a story. I did have a 95 in black cherry for one summer. Kindred spirits.

"Christopher's Top 10 Car Stories" needs to be updated! Good story as always!

My mom and stepdad had a black 96 for a while............we were living in Mississippi at the time and went to Florida to get it

No happy ending 😅 LoL great story 😂❤

Love the 94-96 Impala SS ive own 3 of those myself. 2 95 & 1 96. loved them all but selling them is not easy it doesn't attract the client you want to deal w/. my 96 was a rust bucket beater but i had plenty of fun w/ it. it had 4.10 rear end gear ratio front brake line lock and a sweet exhaust. it loved 3rd gear burnout! 🤣 the stance and the 255 all around made it look so mean!

Like I have said many times I love VINwiki in the morning

I've seen the gold kit impala at a car show in Hinesville Georgia

I love that Christopher has become such a fan favorite that Ed puts his name in the title

Amazing story. I myself am looking for a 96 impala ss funny how this story came up today.

Chris Michaels is just THEE BEST !!!

They definitely need to do animated versions of most of these videos . I wouldn't expect them to do full paid actor reenactments but atleast animated . These stories are gold and would be a nice addition to the channel.

Great story! Great guy!

I also love big coupes and sedans. I currently have a black Thunderbird SC 5-speed and a big black Mercedes S550 tinted out.

Omg he might be able to get one in Jacksonville NC.

My Cannonball car is an '89 Caprice with a 95 SS drive train. Great cars. Would love to add a 96 SS to the fleet.

This is one heck of a coincidence...My name is also Christopher, I lusted after the 96 Impala SS for years, and I bought one in 2003. It was a Midwest car bought in IL, I was the second owner after the original owner, a Chevy dealer, sold it with 86,000 miles. Sadly, after the initial excitement of owning your dream car was over; It was just a Caprice with black paint, polished aluminum wheels, and a spoiler. The dash turned brown due to the materials they used, all the plastic interior bits creaked, and my ownership experience had more downs then ups. I sold it several years later with 130,000ish miles, on the same date I bought it. I wouldn't say I'd never own another one, but the good examples are few and far between now. Wouldn't mind trying to track down Tim Allen's if it's for sale...

Chris stories is one of the only reasons I look forward to the notifications on this channel.

I owned a 96 impala for 12 years and regretted getting rid of it. But I bought a 2012 Caprice and didn't miss the Impala so much. 😊

This video would get more views with a picture of Christopher. Best stover teller by far.

That car looks fantastic

Finally got one (96) in 2001. These cars, same as Caprice with Lt-1 have the rear end sitting a good half inch too forward. Gotta get the correct trailing arms to get it symmetric. Once you see it, you can't un-see it. Good way to know if a Caprice has a LT-1 tho.

Chris is the best lol..... Was cool seeing him on that Hot Wheels show, knew the teams would have some influencers but he was not one I expected

I was waiting for him to say “and there behind the barn was that gold-emblem Impala, and I still have it to this day.”

Chris has some of the best stories
