A full-size American automobile, of 1970's or earlier manufacture, V-8 powered (usually a big-block at that) in fair-to-poor cosmetic condition, but generally still in good enough mechanical condition to go fast in a straight line. "Ghetto" refers to one of the vehicle's native environments and rough exterior, and "sled" to the way they ride low but smoothly, usually on worn out suspensions, and with numerous passengers.
Probably derived from the more general term "lead sled"
Quite arguably the opposite of a rice burner, as they are heavy, extremely durable, American built, tend to have more go than show.

"I cracked the exhaust on my ghetto sled, again."
"My Chrysler is becoming a damn ghetto sled."
"My BMW was wrecked by some asshole in a ghetto sled."

Old school car dumped on its arse with whitewalls, pinstriping and a bit of bling and generally looking pimpin' yo. Built for cruising/prowling. Fine for old schoolers, rice if it's done to new cars because they will always look retarded with whitewalls and bling.

Term used to depict horrible mutilation of otherwise driveable import cars by pubescent poser teens. the typical ghetto sled is base honda civic with cheesy alloy rims, an aero kit, and an exhaust that sounds like a lawnmower. these are the same kids that think decals make the car go faster.

An old beat up car whose only asset is a set of rims that are way to big for the car. Most cars like it would have been crushed into cubes at this point.
Damn did you see that ghetto sled over there? It has so many rust holes it looks like it was in a driveby, but those 2,000 dollar rims sure are sharp.
