The collector car market continues its hot streak. More cars are selling this fall than we've ever seen before at this time of the year. The fuel for the heightened activity is continued downward price trending. With prices this low on hot collector cars there will continue to be buyers. We may be experiencing the best market for buyers that we will ever see again in our lifetimes. Be sure to take advantage of it. Check the price changes link below. A 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was just reduced to $50,000. Read on.
CORVETTE OVERTAKES CAMARO
Last month something happened in the collector car market which has happened rarely in the past three years. The icon of the muscle car era ... the most sought after car on the planet ... the first generation Chevrolet Camaro has been supplanted by the Corvette as the car most sought after by internet buyers. I've only seen that happen twice in the past three years (the time frame in which we've been keeping statistics on internet buying habits.) In September, more buyers were searching for muscle car era Corvettes than first generation Camaros. Exactly 15.8 percent of all buyers of collector cars were looking for muscle car era Corvettes in September, that according to our combined Google and Yahoo search engine statistics. The percentage of buyers looking for Camaros dropped to 14.2 percent. Don't worry, though, Camaro still remains at No. 2 on our list of the Top Ten most popular muscle cars. All this should not be too surprising to our newsletter readers. Corvettes are considered the "gold standard" of collector cars. Fortunately, the selection of Corvettes for sale has never been better in our Corvette Section. Below is a chart of the Top Ten muscle cars and the Top Ten classic cars based on the number of times buyers have entered them into a search request on the Google and Yahoo search engines.
Top Ten Most Popular To Buy Muscle Cars Classic Cars Rank Car % of hits Car % of hits 1 Corvette 15.8 %
Chevrolet 17.1 % 2 Camaro 14.2 %
Studebaker 16.3 % 3 Dodge Challenger 10.7 %
Oldsmobile 10.5 % 4 Dodge Charger 10.7 %
Ford 5.9 % 5 Pontiac GTO 10.3 %

American Motors 4.1 % 7 Mercury Cougar 3.3 %
Nash 2.7 % 8 Shelby Mustang 2.6 %
Lincoln 1.1 % 9 Chevelle 2.5 %
Cadillac .75 % 10 Plymouth Cuda 1.6 %
Dodge .60 %
In the Classic Car category, most collectors were looking for classic Chevrolets last month. Studebakers, however, continue to be phenomenally popular, garnering second place. To compare the current lists with those we last published in July click this link to the first newsletter posted in July, 2009.
CORVETTE ZR1 FOR SALE
This week we've seen only the second 2009 Corvette ZR1 ever posted for sale on the Cars On Line.com website. It was listed by Kassabian Motors in Dublin,California. They say it has the rare 3ZR Package. It is powered by an LS9 Supercharged 6.2 Liter V-8, rated at 638 hp. The first one ever listed on our website appeared in our listings a few weeks ago and is already sold (see it with a SOLD sign in the Corvette Section.)
Jay Leno owns the first serial numbered ZR1. Click this link to view a video of Jay Leno and what he has to say about how important the ZR1 is in automotive history. In the video he indicates that this is the most powerful car ever made at GM. You can view more videos and interesting photos of the Leno car collection by going to Jay Lenos Garage.com (www.jaylenosgarage.com) on the web. The way things look at GM they may not be making the ZR1 in the future. Here is a "future collectible" waiting to happen.
SUPER RARE PROTOTYPE
The word "prototype" inspires thoughts of "one-of-a-kind" rareness that kindles the heart of a collector. Dan Merson at Mershon's World of Cars in Springfield, Ohiosays this 1964 Griffith Prototype won't disappoint you. He says it is the first Griffith ever built! It is verified by Mike Moody to be the only Griffith factory prototype and is serial numbered 200-4-000. The car comes from a private collection where it has been for the past 35 years. Only 192 Griffith Series 200's were built in 1964; only 140 are still known to exist. They say the prototype has the 289 Hi-Po engine with dual 4-barrel carburetors and Ford 4-speed transmission. It was featured in the book "The Griffith Years" by Mike Moody which documents some of its original build. Mershons says the car has been autographed by Jack Griffith and Carroll Shelby. This is an incredible and historic piece of automotive history. Mershons has just updated their inventory on our website. Click here to view all of their fresh listings.
DEALER HAS A NEW WEBSITE
This week the Corvette Experience in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida unveiled their new website. After joining the Cars On Line Dealer Network they decided they needed a fresh redesign of their website to take advantage of the new traffic they were receiving from Cars On Line. They've made it easier to navigate their site and have provided links that will allow you to find the ads you are looking for. Corvette Experience specializes in Corvettes, but recently has been offering muscle cars, street rods and street machines in their postings. We've notice that they've been listing some interesting Project Cars as well. Click here for a view of their updated inventory.

A ton of work has been done to this 1949 Chevy Sedan Delivery. They say it was built by Ram's Rod Shop in Dover, Delaware.

Whoever gets it will be able to take it to the next level. |

Look at the stance on this custom 1977 Lincoln Mark V Cartier from Top Notch Vehicles in Jefferson, Wisconsin. I like it. They say it has been on the Hot Rod Power Tour three times so it has the ability to do some cruisin'. And the asking price is only $9,995. |

DEAL OF THE DAY
It is a sign of the times. Prices continue to drop on some very nice collector cars. Newsletter readers know that we feature the best ones here in the DEAL of the DAY preview. In this DEAL of the DAY section of our newsletter we give readers first chance at the best deals among the fresh ads on our website. Then during the coming week you'll see these cars featured on the home page of our website in the DEAL of the DAY graphic that looks like a "rear view mirror."With all the talk about Corvettes and how popular they are among collecors it seemed only fitting that our featured DEAL of the DAY be a classic Corvette. A Waukesha, Wisconsin collector listed this 1964 Corvette Coupe which he calls a
"survivor." He believes that because he says it was stored since the 70's in a local garage. The color is the desirable Daytona blue and it has dark blue interior. It is a 300 hp, 4-speed. They say they have all the original parts including the original radiator (not shown) that go with the car. The original shifter and numbers matching engine block are safely stored and shown in the photos. He says that the original block has the date and VIN stamps. He said he was surprised that even the alternator is original to the car. You don't find a significant collectible like this everyday. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday with an asking price of $28,500.
Remember when these 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary editions first came out? They were discontinuing the Camaro and this was the hottest looking Camaro we'd
seen in some time. They were born to be collectible. An enthusiast from Redding, California says he bought this one brand new for his wife (hence the automatic transmission.) He says it was always garaged and never abused. The ad says it has just 50k miles. It was ordered with a graphite leather interior, premium sound and all options, including 4-wheel disc brakes and 17" factory SS wheels. It however does not have glass tops. He says the condition is "like new." It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday, because this is the best price we've ever seen on one of these cars ... $12,900.
I'll never forget how one buyer lamented that he couldn't find a classic '60s Chevy Nova for under $20,000. I hope he's reading this newsletter. A 1966 Chevy II
Nova from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has been offered for sale. The seller describes it as beautiful and rust free in its Artesion Turquoise color with a 283 V8 and a Powerglide transmission and he says it has only 45k miles. The car includes headers, dual exhaust, power steering, power brakes and updated CCP tubular control arms, according to the ad copy. He says he has the Protecto plate, and some important parts that go with the car. It really looks good in the photos, doesn't it? It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $15,500.
Don't forget! Have these cars inspected before you buy. One man's great opportunity is another man's nightmare. You have to know if the car is right for you. See the Cars On Line Inspection Service at http://www.cars-on-line.com/insp-1stpg.html
With a slightly custom stance and stunning black paint this rare 1961 Oldsmobile 88 Bubbletop is a rare one indeed. Notice the custom pinstriping ala the 1970s. The
aluminum wheels have bullet caps. They also say it has no rust and runs and drives real nice with its big block 394 cubic inch V8, power steering and power brakes. Be sure to view the Slide Show ad. The seller is not hiding the interior which probably brings the car down to an average No. 3 condition. But even with its warts, this is a rare car and our DEAL of the DAY later in the week. The asking price is only $15,000.
From the plains of Nebraska comes a very interesting little 1965 Plymouth Valiant 2-door post equipped to be a race car, but the seller talks about it like it was a
street car. They say it has a big block 440 cid motor, 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission, and only 1,500 miles on motor and trans. The seller says they have all the paperwork on it. Maybe ask them if this car has ever been raced. I think I see a roll bar in there. Is that a dent in the fender? Make sure you have it inspected so you get the whole story. But at this price it will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because this is a lot of car for the money ... the ad says only $10,000.
Don't forget! Have these cars inspected before you buy. One man's great opportunity is another man's nightmare. You have to know if the car is right for you. See the Cars On Line Inspection Service at http://www.cars-on-line.com/insp-1stpg.html
Yesterday a Racine, Wisconsin seller listed this black 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix and it looks interesting from the photos. After seeing this one you realize they just aren't
very common anymore. The photos look pretty good on this midsized luxury performance car. The seller says it is a very solid, original car and states that it is 90 percent original paint, original interior and has a 389 4-barrel V8 which he says runs and drives great. He says it has new brakes with dual master cylinder conversion and says there are only 87k miles. Again, this is probably one that you will want to have inspected to make sure it is for real. It will be our DEAL of the DAY with an asking price of $8,900.
