-> JR> Many moons ago, 1965,  I had a Dodge Dart GTS (a red-headed step

-> what do you mean by sleeper???
A street sleeper is the full term.  A sleeper is a car that looks like
it just came off the showroom floor, or out of the junkyard, but is
still very fast.  It is more a deceiver, I guess, as it deceives other
drivers into thinking that it is a piece of junk, but then beats them
in a drag race.
