Default Top 10 Sleepers
I stumbled across this article when looking through old Super Chevy magazines. April 1994 to be exact! This is what they listed as Chevy's Top 10 Public Enemy Street Sleepers Of All Time. This is the order listed in no particular order. You can arrange them in the order you think best. Any suggestions how these ultimate sleepers rank?
1966 Biscayne 427 L72 427/425hp
1957 Chevy 283 2X4 283/270hp
1966 El Camino 396 L34 396/360hp
1966 Chevy II(they called it a Nova) L-79 327/350hp
1959-61 Bel Air 348(345-335-350hp)
1969 C.O.P.O. Camaro L72 427/425hp
1969 Nova SS396 L78 396/375hp
1965 Corvair Corsa Turbocharged 164/180hp
1965 Chevelle L79 327/350hp
1962 Bel Air 409/409hp
Runner Ups:
1970-71 Monte Carlo SS-454/360hp
1974 Laguna S-3 454/235hp
1973 El Camino 454/245hp
1970 Impala 454/390hp

And to think that I had a chance not once but twice to buy 1966 Chevy II L-79 cars!

I'm no Impala expert but maybe I could help. Best to contact Rick SS427 on this site. He's into the big cars but I'll sure give it a try if nothing else. Come on SS427, I'll need your help.

L78 Impala:
I did notice there were TWO Novas on that list. Somebody must have been impartial to Big Cars and Novas!

Richard (Impala427),
Thanks for filling out your profile. I can help on some stuff but you may want to do it off line through e-mail as this is a SuperCar site and unfortunately, we do not own any. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
