The great thing about a sleeper is you can park it in most places and it wont get looked at twice. you cruise in and out of your street so no one knows your secret. even the cops dont ask to pop the bonnet.

I seen a old escort sleeper in primer with black as windows a few years ago running on the great western highway, we were in my mates 180B - L20 with twins and started at roll start. This escort took off sideways and never seen it again all i rember is a sticker on the back window saying (another X file) it had ripped so many cars on the street and i later found out it had a cosworth engine.
There is nothing more try hard than all show and no go. big $$$ on looks and rims with std motor.
Anyway
Good luck with your Build Trav keep us posted with this sleeper of yours !!

This is quickly becoming my favourite topic!

A bloke I went to school with had an early '80s Corolla in flat black primer (rat rod style). It was full of dings and covered in birdshit, but had a worked 4AG turbo. He said he loved nothing more then torching cars ten times what his cost.

Thanks for posting those coupe pics boys, probably my favourite sleeper.

My cousin has an early '90s Hilux with big chromies (looks like a lo-lux). At the 'Nats every yells to 'hit the switches' or 'piss off home' until he hits the go peddle and opens the old 5lt up. It used to have a canopy as well for that real sleeper look, but that's long gone.


here's the old girl now:

Open in new window


that his cousin next to the car.....has short hair now n doesn't look as much like a girl!!!!

Since nobody else is going to reply to dimlight65, I will.
Try this link to Autocables in Victoria. They still make 'em new for 1200's. Check the 'Autoshade' pages.
