The Sleeper: 1966 Chevrolet Bel Air. Not Your High School Principal's Car.

The best sleepers look like something a schoolteacher could be driving, and when I was at Lower Canada College, in Montreal, our headmaster drove a blue '66 Bel Air. Not this one however, which has been rigged as a Maine State Police highway cruiser of the era. (Staties' cars are still painted blue, but a different shade than this metallic. Kind of an innocuous baby blue, actually.  Watch out when you're on the Turnpike.) This car's for sale in Freeport Maine. Asking was $28900, or about the price of a Subaru Legacy. Call Neil 207 865 6269. I like sleepers. The Bel Air has it down. Looks like a stripper drives like a rocket. Only thing missing is a four-speed. Another classic of the genre:  this 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne 409.
