Looks like a potentially nice car. Im not an expert, but there isnt a Red 911 on the planet that will ever br able to pull off the sleeper thing. A Sepia or Olive car with a quiet exhaust and steelies could be a sleeper, but Red with Fuchs? No way. I bet that most people who would pull up next to this car at a stop light hoping for a challenge wouldnt even know what decade it was built in.

I second that. The only way you could make a red 911 of that vintage a sleeper is to put a 3.6L twin turbo in it. I hope you have some serious $$$ for the mods. If you want a sleeper, buy somthing that looks docile. Red 911's don't look docile regardless of the year.

A 'Sleeper' is a car that looks quite unassuming, but has a few tricks up its sleeve.

drop a 3.2 Carrera motor or a 3.4 with stock exhaust into a car like this and you would have the perfect sleeper. Tailless Turbo SCs are also sleepers

Quite possibly the ultimate sleeper. I really like this car.
  Thats a hot single plug 3.5. You can see from the quote below who built this monster. No surprise. This is a really neat car. Quote:

It the leakdown numbers are good, it shifts nicely, the engine sounds good, there is little to no rust and a PPI comes back with no other major problems go for it.
