A big cowl induction hood scoop and parachute doesn't exactly scream "sleeper" to me!
Buddy Revell
I am talking about the scoop. There are some people who would actually, but I agree it is not really a sleeper.
🤣😂🤣😂
"sleeper status" hey man what's up with that parachute on your car "ya my brakes don't work"
that first car isnt fooling anyone
hahaha seriously
Yeah, because when I see slicks and a parachute I automatically think the car is slow lol
Hear it run idol is a giveaway. Any idiot can put a parachute on the car. The driver is the ?.
To be a sleeper it needs to appear and sound fairly stock, if there is a visible roll cage from the exterior, a big ole hood scoop, a deep exhaust note, extra wide tires on the back, a big tach in the front window, or it's lacking paint, it screams something's up and I better investigate further.
So if I put a cage, a scoop and a tach in my stock engine vehicle that makes it hoped up lol
Billy Meier No, that will just make it look like it is.
cowl hood
+FullSpectrum Survivalist you could easily hide a cage if u do it well
***** Not really.
Dropping a 460 into a Fairmont is a bolt in swap. And with the right parts the 429/460 make a lot of power.
idk.. The helmet, 200 db of sound, and the full rollcage in the back window doesn't seem suspicious at all :D
+manvstaco not to mention wearing BIG ass drag radials. First giveaway to a truly quick car is it's tires.
+manvstaco Well, they DO have to pass tech, after all.
+Richard Botellio Normal people just don't put slicks on their car. That's a giveaway right there
+manvstaco That and the parachute.
Fairmont Mafia had the right idea. Black out the windows so that the roll-cage can't be seen!
I've always loved the Fairmont's and Zephyr's out of the late 70's and 80's
Should have just called the video "Fast Ford Fairmonts".
+Josh Watters and zephir mercury
+Daniel Thibault Whats the difference? xD
+Nick Caldwell (Me) The tail lights and grille, of course!
+Josh Waters But, who would believe it?
alot of people that car has lots of mustang parts
if a car has a crowl hood it isn't a sleeper
Nathan Webb
That and the parachute..
Nathan Webb and a drag radial in the rear

These "sleepers" are mostly, "What butt ugly body will fit over this race car?" You can cram 1K HP in the engine compartment of anything. Slicks, skinny front tires, traction bars and 2" exhaust kind of give you away every time. Sleepers came around back in the day to take money from the rich kids in their new muscle cars.
Love the Shoe boxes....👍
I, too, had a sleeper once. I dropped a '74 (pre de-tuned) 2 litre engine into my '71 1300 Alfa, with a 1600 diff. No other changes. Those who know Alfa, will know that the only mod needed is to bend the exhaust manifolds to clear the body underneath, due to the 2 litre being a little taller (about 25mm). With no BS, I blew away many 3 litre Fords, BMW 2.5 and almost every GTI Golf I came across. Of course, due to the gearing, that poor little Alfa would only do about 160 kmh on the clock. But the surprised faces made it all worth while!!
+John Jones Nice!!
I once heard about some British police in the '70's who got involved in a car chase in their Ford Granada 3 litre and they could not catch an Alfasud!
The Ford V6 was heavy and made little power, the Granada was heavy and pretty robust. The Alfasud was quite sporty although most died of structural rust by about 5 years of age.
awesome cars where i grew up the true sleepers raced for pinks and were real quiet as well great vid
+SnakeRiverFishing Thanks buggy!
SnakeRiverFishing calm down pinks is rare and dangerous shut your mouth
Love the Fairmonts. I had a 78 zephyr 6cyl lol. Super strong car.
My grandparents had a Fairmont Futura, same two-tone combo and everything! Wasn't quite as fast, I guess.
Great video. Finally get to see the finish line board light up.
Nothing too sneaky about cars 1 and 3, cars 2 and 4 however.............
+GreenJeep1998 exactly what i was thinking hell that s10 number 4 raced was more of a sleeper
+GreenJeep1998 If 2 was quieter it would be even more stealth.
+GreenJeep1998 same with 4
+Dillon Rebel Not with slicks and a visible 4 link.
They are dragster sleeper ...+
I love a Fairmont awesome video
The Fairmont is a sedan built on the same chassis as Mustangs of that time. Because of this there is a lot of aftermarket parts that fit and parts swaps are easy.
If I pull up to a light next to a car with a full cage, an 8" cowl hood, and drag radials, I am going out on a limb to say that there is no way I could fuck with that.
Fairmonts and Zephyrs, oh my!
A Fairmont is just a Fox Mustang in sheep's clothing.
That was fun to watch, love a good sleeper!
just got to say you are putting out some awesome videos man . love the sleepers keep up the good work.
+Michael “3rd u.s army” routh No doubt! Thanks for watching!!
+BigKleib34, hey is there anyway we could send vids of our sleepers we have ive got a ford Fairmont and a 93 foxbody and a 92 s10 2 of the three are sleepers
+Stoner for life Shoot them over in an email to bigkleib34@gmail.com we would love to check them out!
What sleepers i didnt see any
I love how those cars take off!
looks like a old Ford Fairmont.. yessssir.. live the sleepers... Middle class office worker car to a badass machine !! thanks for sharing ..what's next? If I had the money I would love to do a damn Smart Car sleeper.. lol..
Awesome video!!! More sleepers!
This is soo cool!!!! I'm glad someone wanted to modify a Fairmont to be racy!! The Zephyr was cool too!
. Man, that 4 door has me lauffing and smiling- i like that car. -Josef
The black Fairmont is just drop dead gorgeous. If I was a car, this one would be me.
Kinda Awesome! Thank you!
My ex-wife used to have a Zephyr. I well remember the trail of metal fragments bouncing along behind us when the engine blew. Who knows, maybe the old girl ( the car, not the ex) had a second life as as a drag car.
I had an old beat up Ford Fairmont 4dr back in 96, got it for free from my uncle, it needed a battery and one tire,threw on spare ,tuned it up, had a 6cyl carb, it wasn't quick but it would GO! Cruised nice on highway, drove it for about s year, sold it for $500 ,some guy was wanting front and rear clip for a project, I think I did alright ,it was just like the 2nd car ,same faded silver paint
that car at 3;16 looks like something from one of those horror road movies, I love it.
I had the fairmont wagon with the stock 302 and 2.47 gears it could do like 45 in first gear it was cool as hell lol
That second Fairmont was siiiick! The only one out if the lot that truly is a sleeper. The kind of car you wouldn't be caught dead cruising around in because of the looks of it.
The Farmtrucks of the Car World. You have to love a beater with a MONSTER under the hood.
awesome vids man keep them coming
never underestimate the old skool stuff! Remember the Coyote from HardCastle & McCormick?, would love to c that car take on a new vehicle of now. :)
Really cool I had a 79 2 door
CTS-V driver is like "WTF WTF WTF?!?!" 1:50
I had a 1978 Mercury Zephyr with a 302 and it ran great, The carburetor tuning was a little tricky with the slide valve variable venturi carburetor I rebuilt it and improved the jetting and it would light the tires up, it also got pretty good gas mileage
I used to have an old fairmont futura with a 302 in it that surprised a few people over the years. Excellent drift-mobile and pretty fast too. It is a stretched fox chassis, same as the mustang and took the same parts for beefing up. Somebody beefed it up with mustang parts before I bought it. Fun car, wish I still had it.
+Robert Schumacher Cool!
+Robert Schumacher Minor technical quibble. The Fairmont/Zephyr is the original Fox chassis, so they aren't technically 'stretched'. The '79-95 (?) Mustang / Capri and the '80 and later Thunderbird/Cougar are derivatives of the Fox chassis.
Lmao @4:26 Fairmont bangin on rev limiter gets its ass kicked by what looks to be Mercury Zephyr love it.
Once you put a scoop on a car it's no longer a sleeper.
I had a 81 pontiac catalina, took out the V6 and put in a oldsmobile 403. The car looked in rough shape. It was my true sleeper. I still have the engine. I plan on doing extra to it in time.
love the old Fairmont!
I had a sleeper zephyr, fairmont back in the early 90s.
i'm primarily a GM guy, but i always thought the Fairmont was a neat car with lots of racing potential. would like to see one done up like an older NASCAR or a Trans-Am racer.
Good content as usual thanks young man lol
definitely sleeper cars, nice runs
Hah! My crew cab Fairmont throws down 72 h.p. Sorry to brag....
good video thanx for posting
god, the thrill must be incredible. I average 1/4 in 12.9-13.5, and it feels like youre flying, this is insane :D
Never thought I'd live to see a day where a Mercury Zephyr outruns a cadillac coupe
Never thought I'd be so excited to see a crusty Ford Fairmont.
I love the Fairmonts and the Cougars!
nice videos man thanks for uploading 👌
This makes me miss my old Fairmont... I wanted to do something like this to it. I was gonna put a 302 in it, rather than the wheezing 2.3 it had...
Cool thing about old cars,you can fab some mounts and drop in any size motor you want.Such large engine bays.Throw some F/I and there you go.
cant wait to finish my 84 buick lesabre
Thunder Valley in Noble Oklahoma. that GTR was DOPE
Half the cars in this video were not deceptive whatsoever! :(
Yes, they presented themselves as fugly, primitive, technology-free shitwagons. Not deceptive whatsoever.
Uhh, yeah. Cute videos of you on your page riding your little bike.
Meanwhile, my car costs more than the trailer you live in, and all the junk cars in your driveway. lolol.
TasteMyStinkhole atleast im livin the way i want to if i wanna live away from civilasation then i wilñ so fuckin what so dont get so fukin butthurt
Deadbuttaman369
You're confused, dumb shitard. A prime example of "fucking butthurt" was your first comment to me. Your second comment is just horrific english grammar and spelling shit out of that 60 IQ intellect of yours.
TasteMyStinkhole actually my iq aint even 60
00:56 is my favorite car. The my first car
my dad had a sleeper 79 fairmont futura. supercharged 5L. ooh i miss it
The first Fairmont wasn't really a sleeper with that huge hood scoop, but the other two were right on the money---they both looked like beaters, and on the street, no one would even give them a second glance.
I love watching Fairmonts destroy bowties.
i watched a sleeper car you wouldnt believe @ SIR in tucson, az a wgile back. guy had a mid 80s ford stationwagon that was dusting everything in the 1/4 mile. really cool thing was you honestly could not tell it was modded and seriously looked like a granny grocery getter. unfortunately for the opponets they didnt take it seriously either. why i love test and tune racing. no commercial money and owners putting in their own money, skill and ideas into the projects. lovin it!
Anybody seen a Fairmont with a 2.3 liter turbo SVO four or a 302? Those were sleepers right off the dealer lot.
I seen no sleepers.
Agreed. Great camera work though. You could see the cars and the times mostly in focus.
I enjoy home builds to bought hp! especially when they thump em!
kind of figured the sports Fairmont would be good :)
I'd like to see that blue viper race again...that thing slaps on the speed quick
not too many sleepers here!
I love sleepers !
I have a 5.0 Fairmont with a factory manual transmission. Ive always wondered how many 5.0 manual trans Fairmonts were built.
I remember in 1974 I raced a kid in a Plymouth Roadrunner with my beat to hell 1955 bel air for pinks, he signed a contract and everything at the drag strip, little did he know I had 800 hp under the hood and I walked away with a new roadrunner, still have those cars but the bel air has no engine and the Roadrunner has a bad transmission
Nathan Webb what happened to the engine in the Bel air I'm currently building a 55 chevy pickup stepside that's getting a 400 short block that's camed
I blew it up with to much boost, your truck sounds like it will be fun
daniel bean wiend roots dupercharger, bored out cylinders and custom crank stroke
Goddamn those launches. +BigKlieb34 when are we gonna get to see in car action!?
Love that ford fairmont i almost thought i was watching Bob Gliddens pro 1 fairmont
I can't imagine anything being more humiliating than being beaten by a Fairmont. Love it!
This reminds me of my $250 old red 2 door 79 FORD FAIRMONT I took out the 4cyl and put in a 5.0 302ci mustang motor it was badass till I blew up the rear end and the motor! Good times!! Lmfao!
My 1978 ford Fairmont foxbody with the factory 302 is the OG sleeper..
I need my fairmont to run like this lol
That first car is just about as much sleeper as a Bugatti Chiron and in the race with the Viper, the viper were the sleeper among those two cars...
I agree. The Viper looked more stock than the so-called 'sleeper' did!
OOOh! A Fairmont as a Fox body chassis project! There's a thought...
i love these cars becouse they can teach you something about the machine and if you pay attention you will learnn what i a]m talking
3:08 I WANT ONE LOL
Lol the second car 👊👊👊👊👊👊💪💪💪💪💪 grandma's grocery getter from the 80s but still kicks ass totally sleepy
I saw a guy with a 1st Gen Bronco make a bunch of money racing it. It was nuts because he still had 4wd in it. And he could hop a Coke bottle with it!!! He would just nail the gas in 4 low and BAM the fronts went up the air like he had hydraulics on it. It was sad though because he wrecked it while racing and the guy got hurt pretty bad. This was 20+ years ago.
A drivers ED car back in the 80s!
Car No.2....what a Dog, but GAWD is quick! I laughed, but impressed.
My concern with an older beat up car isnt the body but the undercarriage and chassis rust. I'm assuming with the roll cage most of that was addressed though.
I love Fairmont Futura coupes, those cars were light and ripe for street sleepers...kind of boring, but it actually had a sleek shape for hot rodding...now the 4 doors on the other hand: granny cars...
Wow!!!!!
You can do some serious fishing with the 2nd and the 4th one. But the other 2 is a dead giveaway. but they all badass.
Because Oklahoma lol. Last time I went to Thunder Valley it was sorta dead cuz everyone thought it was gonna rain lol
Strange to see a Fairmont anywhere but the junkyard!
WOW!!! Go Fairmont!!!
Fairmonts for the win. its a fox body in drag with lots of potential
A Fairmont is what a Fox body mustang originated from. So you gain all the Fox Body mustang aftermarket support. Very clever.. Kinda what I rely on for my Falcon, as what is made for the first gen mustang works on my car.
