Here at Muscle Car Of The Week, we all dig bright colors and stripes and cars that look racy. But Sleepers are some of the coolest cars of them all. And by Sleeper, we mean cars that appear to be regular daily driver, ho-hum kinda rides, but are actually hiding high performance goodies under the hood and are much #faster than they look. These are some of the coolest sleepers from The Brothers Collection.

The Chevelle was the midsize Chevrolet family car, and the SS option added a long list of performance upgrades in the driveline and suspension departments. Ours was also built with the Regular Production Option code LS-6, the high-compression big-dog 454 cubic inch V8. Could this be the very last 1970 Chevelle SS LS-6 454 ever built? #V8 #ChevroletChevelle #RegularProductionOption

The Mustang ranked first in 14 states, followed by several #GM models. The only other Ford model to have multiple top state searches was the Thunderbird. #fordmustang #popular

Looks-like, a Corvair!
this guy has no idea what he should be looking for
My first is rust, followed by crash damage, shoddy repairs etc. What original parts are missing? Are they hard to find, are they expensive? Some vehicles aren’t worth the time needed no matter how low the price.
I always tell my customers that all your money is buying is a body. Don’t matter if it has new interior, brand new engine, driveline, mags and tyres or any of that shit if it’s a crap body full of bog with 20 different layers of paint on it. All that crap is bolt on stuff and ain’t worth anything if attached to a wreck. I always buy factory paint cars, even if they have rust, it’s original rust……..you can see exactly what you are getting. If you pay big dollars for a freshly painted eBay special……who knows what lays beneath:o Give it 12 months and could be looking at a chokito looking wreck that’s good for nothing but the scrap yard or a $30 000 rebuild:o
That’s exactly it too. It makes or breaks a car. When I bought my ’69 Road Runner the body was beat to hell, the paint was original. Palm Springs car with very little rust so I knew exactly what I was restoring, no surprises. Lots and lots of bodywork, but very little rust repair.
Spot on Robert.
Speaking from experience, once rust starts, it’s like a cancer. I chased it every spring and finally gave up.
That’s right I was a body man for 35 years
