Sleepers! Muscle Cars That Are Faster Than They Look! Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode 215 V8TV

[@tomlea3713]

I was raised a GM guy and I've warmed up to Mopars but man, that 4 door 427 Ford is my favorite of this group! Very cool!

[@impalaSS65]

Yep, same here.

[@jasonvogue4487]

Mopar is parts division of Chrysler, so you are a parts fan?

[@19chucki74]

Reason why the Avanti is my all time favorite classic. A sleeper of the highest order.

[@joreitano9575]

Kevin, you're an excellent muscle car story teller!! Luv listening to the stories behind these great cars!!

[@jeremythompson9122]

That 4 door 427 Ford is bad ass. Love that 66 427 Impala SS too

[@BigBerk765]

I absolutely love sleeper muscle cars. They look luxurious and comfortable, but are insanely quick and fast when you have the right engine and other performance parts. Performance suspension, engine & transmission hidden from sight; comfy & luxurious for all to see. It can't get any better! For my sleepers, I'd love a 1961 Chevy Impala SS with a 502 big block under the hood and a 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS with a big block 427. Dog dish hubcaps, body color steel wheels, normal paint job, the perfect sleepers.

[@TonyDantzler]

that was one of my favorite episodes. Thank you for putting together that nice collection of cars for this video.

[@69HemiGTX]

Y'all should round up a four door 1966 Hemi Coronet. Now that's a sleeper!

[@jeremythompson9122]

Don Garlits has the White one that was ordered new by the FBI. There's a red one out there too

[@vintagesavoiur]

That galaxie is the best

[@ianfosbrook8406]

that Galaxie.... YES plzzzzz.....

[@thomashuteson6191]

Cool, video. Friend of mine got a brand new 64 ford galaxie with the 427 dual quad and in a 4dr hardtop. Black with a red interior. It was very fast and nice.

[@billfeld5883]

The 57 Ford is a great looking car/truck!!

[@braddietzmusic2429]

Great feature! Thanks very much. You might have to do a "Sleepers Part II"

[@wolfden125]

On the first run of that Galaxie the hood latch didn’t look shut , you could see it opening around the 5:45 mark

[@rickuyeda4818]

Should have included a '65 Chevy Biscayne with the "Drag Pack" option. Plain Jane Biscayne with steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps. 425 hp 396 and a 4 speed. I built my own '65 Biscayne with a 550 hp 454 and a Richmond 6 speed. A real "Drag Pack" optioned '65 Bicayne was going for $75K. I built mine for $20K.

[@jeremythompson9895]

I'm a Mopar guy but my favorite Chevy muscle cars were the low trim level full size Biscayne's/Bel Airs with the 409, 396, and 427. That 4 door 427 Ford Galaxie is definitely the coolest car on this episode though I think

[@wadewhitley2943]

That’s awesome!!

[@facuramone3940]

This was an excellent episode, congratulations!!!!!

[@kjartanp4428]

i was drooling over a stock 66 caprice wagon with a 427 in it :P I should have bought it i guess it's rare one too :)

[@bg147]

The Avanti with its Studebaker motor sounded great.

[@josephcameron530]

Love those cars. Great videos!

[@kennydemartini2169]

This reminds me of a loaner car we had some 30 years ago at the shop I work at. It was a tire-frying, rotten 1974 Chevy Luguna with a 350 2 barrel engine. It would smoke the right rear wheel all the way through 2nd gear! We took it to the track and it ran 15.20 ets @85 mph! I cut the smog pipes off the manifolds with a torch once, and some of the slag got in a cylinder which caused the motor to have a constant knock, but it never quit... We eventually scraped the beast. there was holes in the floor, and no trunk left. What a sleeper it was!

[@rodbell6179]

No big

[@superapple4ever]

Awesome compulsion!

[@twagn]

Never underestimate blue haired granny....sonny

[@Anonymous12465]

Now here's a butterscotch. *pinches cheeks*

[@Laffy1345]

Mr EOS lol

[@Laffy1345]

TrebuShade lmao

[@jeremythompson9895]

Seen a 66 Chevy Biscayne 4 door once with an L72 427 4 speed. One of the coolest cars I've ever seen. I love that R-code 427 4 door Galaxie. I've heard Mopar produced three four door 426 hemi cars. Two 66 Dodge Coronets and a 67 Plymouth Belvedere

[@jeremythompson9895]

I wonder if any 4 door Pontiac 421SD cars were built in 62-63. That would be the ultimate sleeper

[@11094DEREK]

Man I want that Ranchero

[@jahags1990]

Ok cool sleepers. Anything more wild like a station wagon chevy chevelle SS?

[@josephfnieto8481]

I grew up here in Southern California small beach town San Clemente. The 66 Impala 427 i knew a guy who had the most feard one around yup a 66 Impala SS w the most potent 427 available he added headers a performance cam had it blue printed and while most wanted there cars loud with glass packs or Corvair tubo mufflers, which i love and use to this day they have a performance sound but not too loud sound awsome and are free flowing, anyway this guy went for the quiet route it sounded almost bone stock 327 quiet lol but here's the crazy part he was able to order it w aluminum heads from the factory!!! Very very few 66 SS Impalas were ordered w the high performance aluminum headed 427. Its still around a friend of mine bought it back in the mid 80s its in storage its fired up to warm up the Rat and maybe around the block a few times a month.

[@yavin99]

I like that 4 door Ford.

[@markthompson5395]

Come do a feature on my "banker's hot rod", a 65 Buick Riviera.

[@thyslop1737]

If you could only resurrect Jack Webb from the dead of Dragnet behind the wheel of that Galaxie with a grin on his face just before he punches when the light turns green, it would have made my filings fall out.

[@mohammedbahrani2899]

Amazing

[@bunk-bn9eo]

Who doesn't love a sleeper?

[@stacyhazelwood4033]

Kevin, I want your job. 😂

[@CCGR-2024]

I have got to go with @11094DEREK, I'll take the Ranchero, you can always keep the other one! :)

[@ddoss383]

Awesome.

[@stuartfitzsimons2786]

The Ford 427 is a four door hardtop not a sedan. The sedan has a post between the doors.

[@bigkahuna1950]

While common understanding would agree with your definition, strictly speaking this Ford is a 4 door hardtop sedan. A sedan can have 2 or 4 doors, seat 4 or more people in front and rear seats, and, usually has a permanent top and a trunk in a 3 box design. I think in the US and Canada we have come to equate hardtops as separate from sedans probably because of advertising when the hardtop first became popular in mass produced cars of the late 40's and early 50's.

[@sherrysetliff2502]

Nice info.

[@duradim1]

These are the kind of girls that will keep you up all night.

[@edavenport93]

I want the Studebaker.

[@ogphil5600]

What about a 69 Grand 428 HO

[@SuperBLACKGP]

A Royal Bobcat 1969 Grand Prix without the white roof paint would be a perfect sleeper, lol!

[@twagn]

How times have changed. My 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 would go 0-60 in 5.5 sec and 14.0 quarter

[@davidenobile426]

If you put modern tires on these cars some of them will probably brake in the 12s

[@twagn]

Dave's Garage easy to believe. Tire tech has evolved tremendously

[@MrMisanthrope1RBjr]

that second car shown , the mustang doesnt to me seem to fit the catagory sleeper

[@archiebunker6059]

How about a 65 Pontiac 2+2?

[@rrmech11]

Neat

[@johnwilkerson2195]

I'm a Ford man I'll take the Galaxy!

[@megaeverything101]

where is the ranchero burnout? LOL

[@petemedina8446]

These are some baaaaad cars

[@bgh70]

Give me the '66 impala... Please!!!

[@thyslop1737]

Who are these brothers he keeps talking about?

[@Likeaboss-id1tk]

Dang

[@ronaldbertin9455]

65 should be a 4 dr hard top , sedan have posts

[@charleshall9755]

If I had the money when I was young I could be a millionaire now by buying all the cars that I wanted...lol...that is if I had survived thru it....lol

[@outdoorstv7298]

[@kevind8752]

Studebaker golden hawk

[@matrox]

Please do a review on my 17' SS Camaro.

[@fread51]

[@jasonvogue4487]
