Ultimate Sleeper
OK, I've seen some sleepers in my day, but this one takes the cake. Not just for sleeper status, but also build quality and ultimate cool factor.
- Aluminum wheels wrapped to look like wooden spokes
- 4 cyl engine painted to look like old timey engine - but is actually a Cosworth rally car engine that winds out to 9500 rpm
- Misfire generator that disguises the exhaust note and makes it sound like an old time antique engine
- Completely modern chassis, power train and suspension.
I realize some of you have probably seen this before, but I just thought this was one of the most original builds I've seen.
