Sleeper Wagon anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Hole in the hood seriously detracts from the sleepiness.
8.1 though... wau

Thought the same thing. But it looks like it could've just been taken of cement blocks in a "rural" neighborhood.

"Vortex"

lol my dad just bought a bus sized RV with this engine.

Can it stop?

Can it corner?

I would drive it. Looks like a great starting point for a really fun wagon

I'd rather go with the volvo wagon with a V8 swap. I mean if you really want the sleeper look.

thats awesome. love me some 80's olds. the comments on that page made my brain hurt. some people have too much time on their hands.

Mid 20XX Escort wagon, with either KLZE, or Turbo B motor

Stockish 8.1 liter on E36 M3 tires? Well, if you're going to be a one trick pony, rolling burnouts aren't the worst trick you could have picked! But i doubt the thing is seriously fast. Just seriously engaging/amusing/conversation-starting etc. Same reason i think about putting an "only" 300hp iron-block v10 and 4.56s in the dodge ram sitting outside.

cutting the hole ruins the sleeper look, i still think honks car is the best sleeper

You're right, it's not the perfect sleeper, since car enthusiasts and drag racers would spot that and suspect big power, but for a heavy majority of people, or ones that miss that, would be very surprised.

Making it a proper sleeper would involve glassing on the cheapest hood scoop over the hole and not painting it afterwards.
