Will it make a cross country trip?

I don't see why not.  It hasn't been driven much in the last 4 years or so, but it starts every time.  Tires good, brakes good, brand new exhaust, good battery, recent fuel pump and starter.  The old starter busted because of a suspected bent flexplate but I haven't put eyes on it.  I would drive it cross country.

Zip code where car is located? If your location on screen is accurate, 2795 miles from me. 

are all emissions equipment Oem with catalytic converters in place, when you did new exhaust ? 

I have 3 cars for sale now. All will be gone by x mas 

 

of course I shouldn't buy another - but money is burning a whole in pocket 

All OEM cats, emissions, etc in place. It is a 50-state car.  I had it titled in CA for 7 years.  No CEL.  SLP intake has an EO sticker.  Zip is 17109, Harrisburg PA.  It even had the recall for the AIR done.  The dealer just yanks the relay for it, reflashes the computer to ignore it, and puts a sticker on it that says it's all kosher.  It always passed for me out there.  We don't do sniffers here in PA, but we do yearly OBD2 plug ins and visual.

Come to think of it, I may have a spare PCM for it.  I picked one up on the strange whim when I lived in CA to do a not-legal tune in between smog tests, but never did.  I couldn't imagine getting more than about 15 hp from a tune so it wasn't really worth it.

The Cadillac version of that platform is rated for 7000 lbs with the tow package. How different can it be in real life?

Truth.  Not sure what's different other than the air bag assisted rear, but I wouldn't tow 7000 with it.

In reply to Curtis :

Caddy has a longer wheelbase, and i've heard the impala has the lower rating because the load rating on the aluminum wheels.  
 

my buddy has a 96 fleetwood with the (i think rpo v4p) tow package and it is his tow vehicle.  He towed a 60 coupe deville with it so it's gotta be pretty stout

My Caprice apparently towed 6,000lbs atleast once while it was in gearheade30's care. I think it's chassis setup probably isn't far off from your Impala from reading the for sale post.
