Been thinking hard and long about a sleeper project and what it could be. The typical beat up Nova or whatever is so cliche that it's pathetic.

But I figured out the perfect sleeper car project: Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, you know - the 4 door land yacht that is about 30' long. There is one in my complex and did research and found out that the 1992 (last year) had a 350 and a 700R4, which is an easy swap to say an LS2 or LS3 with motor work and a 4L60E. They weigh about the same as a new 5th gen stock, but I'm sure you could get 300lbs out of one without hacking it up too bad (the LSX is 150lbs itself). Add some nitrous and you could have a 700hp ride that will seat 6 and would pass for grandpa's. I would have the curb feelers, chrome ladies on the grille, limo tint, and a big system - like it fell out of 1990 or so.

Thoughts?
