For you "Sleeper" fans....Here is my wolf in sheeps clothing:)

[86brick]

I seen a blue NA Regal down here about a year ago at out local car show Towershops that had an LC2 swap and was a major sleeper like these cars... Guy only wanted $4500 for it and it was a pretty complete car

Here are a few night time pics I took~

 

[Blaze]

Nice sleeper, It looks alot like mine exept for the wheel/tire combo. It's nice to see Limited's that are being maintained so nicely

 

[GNBRETT]

Seats Look Comfortable!

That 4 door regal could have fooled me Now, thats a nice "sleeper" That blue regal looks good too.

Sleepers case in point: I was at Heberts (local car show in Central MA) last night with the Limited. Good size crowd with a few turbo Buicks, Muscle and alot of track cars present (pretty cool). It appeared it didnt look like too many people paid attention to the Limited (snuggled between an elcamino and a 70's monte and a GN). They were getting the looks. Funny thing is when I got into the car, started it up, the car was quiet and the crowds didnt pay attention to it..... until I hit the switch and the electric dump opened up. I revv'd it once and 20+ heads snapped in my direction and the faces of aww and disbelief were evident. Like, what the hell?..... I then pulled on to the main street and took off good with the dump open, turbo whine loud and clear. It was fun Dont judge a book by its cover. You never know whats inside. It might surprise you:biggrin:

This is an awesome thread......

We ought to get a sticky in the pictures forum... titled "show me your sleeper"

I love seeing sleepers....... the more stock looking the better. I am sort-of keeping that theme on my '87 GN..... it should go 10's with my combo on pump gas and alky. I have mounted my XD16 wideband gauge in a panel I made in my glovebox. I am about to mount my alkycontrol in there as well. No pillar pods... no console pods.... just bone stock interior..... only thing not stock... is the radio......

I'd love to click off a high 10.... with a completely stock appearing interior.

And I am going to run a BGC 23 row SLIC...so you won't see a big front mount......

IMHO... the non black turbo Buicks... have much more sleeper potential....... the 4 door regal with the LC2...... even more so...

Blaze: I looked at your webshots pics of your 87 T. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a twin now (sort of). I love it!

Yours will make the third T I have ever seen that has as many Factory RPO code options as mine. I am missing leather and the t-tops/moonroof option and I have the Digital Dash. Yours has the added factory astroroof so yours would be the most loaded I have seen next to mine. Of course your motor is a thing of beauty. Love the garage (need one someday soon). My friend has my original wheels on his T so they are in good hands.

Blazer 406: I like the idea of hiding the pillar gauge out of sight (my pod just sticks to the pillar w/no holes). I already have the scanmaster mounted in a spare ashtray (original non smoker one stored with my other original parts from the car). This way, when I dont have a use for it (hardly at all), I can tuck it back and close the ashtray with ease. I would like to make up some kind of gauge panel where the lighted Limited passenger dash plaque goes. However, I would like to have the factory panel flip down and have the gauges mounted underneath for driving duties. I already have a factory buick dash top (from another model) that I am engineering which hopefully will display all the scanmaster readings all at once at eye level (instead of scrollong). Lots of tricks to be had while keeping the stock look:biggrin:

I have a website at ZMODS FIREBIRD WEBSITE (Creator:STEVE ZALIMAS) that shows my Buick (check it out) but it needs major updating. Once this is done, I will post the updated site for all to see

Need to add a AAA decal to it and a handicap sticker to hang from the rear view mirror.

This lady comes into a restaraunt I pick up some shifts at. She has a mini-tubbed 67 Chevelle SS with a 250 shot of juice and a big block 502. The thing is clean and mean and where does she park? Handicapped parking with the badge and everything.

To the OP: You have a very nice limited and very clean as well. I agree with the others, pick up a cheap flat hood and have it painted. When you feel like really messing with people put it on and have fun. I actually did that in my old T. People around the city in the car scene knew what I had so I would put the flat hood on and head out to the burbs where nobody had a clue and thought it was just some random POS Regal. :smile:

The plate is good, I dont think mine would qualify for any type of sleeper plate.

 

[Whut]

Oh yeah, all you really need is a limited to be a sleeper. Take a look at Tom Sheas limited, factory leather interior and a stock astro-roof car.

The plates say Stage2 and he has Stage2 badges on the fender. People still think its just an old mans car even though it really is a full built high revving stage 2 car.

 

[FASTFATBOY]

Heres what it needs to "finish"


Trailer hitch

Take the "SFI" badges off the hood,OR

Put a flat regal hood on it

Put some of those HUGE sunglasses old people wear up on the dash(you know the ones made to go OVER regular glasses)

Handicapped deal off the rearview mirror.

Cut the left ex pipe off where it turns out

Put some black tape over the T on the steering wheel.

DONE!

Be a sure fire sleeper then!


This is a cool thread.

I don't think you need to do a dang thing to it. Nice ride. That sucker would sneak up on 99.9% of the sheaple out there!! :biggrin:

 

[StlRegal]

Need to find some whitewalls in a good size, that will definatly fool some. A regular hood wouldnt hurt either.

 

[Boost231]

some nice clean sleepers.

Stage 2

That is one nice Stage2 Limited, beautiful car.

Thanks,

I too am always on the lookout for highly optioned Limited's. I would have liked leather for mine but I'm happy with it nonetheless. That "garage" is actually my buddy's shop (TurboT231) I wish I had that much room in my garage lol. I added a new link to my sig that has all of my "options"

That is a top 3 combo, I love that car.

I have tossed around the idea of blacking out some corner lights and putting them on my car, bt maybe I'll wait and do that to the next one.

 

[1987olds442]

Some great looking sleepers guys...:smile:

 

[Drip Pan]

That blue Regal looks somewhat like my Limited....see sig for "updates"

 

[Blazer406]

The curb feelers and the chrome mud flaps are a nice touch...... adds to the innocent look.

 

[turbofabricator]

Here's my landau top blue/green '87 T-type "sleeper". I might just have to get some wire wheel covers for it.:biggrin:
