If you were watching the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas this past weekend you're probably thinking that classic customs, pro touring cars and resto mods are the hottest thing going in today's collector market. And you'd be right. As always, we've got a good selection of all of them here in today's Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter.
For a look at what's selling in the real world check the SOLDs Feature below. Classic '50s cars are almost as hot as muscle cars in today's market. Customs and street rods are significantly in demand as well.
RESULTS FROM THE BARRETT-JACKSON
While the collector car market is by no means in a runaway upward spiral, I think we can draw some positive conclusions about the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas last weekend. There were some encouraging signs of strength in the prices thatwere bid. For instance, you see here a black 1968 Shelby GT350 Convertible, one of only 404 such cars produced by Ford in 1968. It should be pointed out that this is a rotisserie restoration done on an original car with documentation to include a Marti Report, build sheets, buck tag and numbers matching engine and transmission. The winning bid on this car was $134,200. It was the most expensive original Shelby car sold last weekend at the auction. A 1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback which was said to be a very high quality restoration of an original K code GT went for $132,000.
The high price paid for a car was $440,000, which is the amount bid for this Princess blue 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX2568. They say it has undergone a 2-year concourse restoration and comes heavily documented with low miles. For a list of the Top Ten cars sold according to highest bids click this link.
There were three '69 Camaro Z/28s that sold and the going price was under $60,000. That would seem to show weakness in the pricing of America's favorite muscle car. However a 1969 Camaro Z/28 RS was bid up to $110,000 and a 1969 Camaro Z/28 with a DZ302, Crossram intake and a 4-speed went for $87,400. Two 1970 Chevelle SS 396 original big blocks were in the sale. Both went for $55,000. The troubling thing is that one of them was an L78 car. Go figure. Only one 1970 Plymouth Cuda 440 car was offered and it went for $81,400. A 1967 Corvette 427/435 Convertible sold for $165,000, but what was important about that sale is that the car had belonged to actor Bruce Willis. On a brighter note, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop was sold for $132,000. It was a Sierra Gold automatic with a 283 and dual quads. That is big money for a hardtop.
This is only the second year that the Barrett-Jackson has held an auction in Las Vegas. The glitz and glitter of the Barrett-Jackson always makes for an interesting TV event. And the Jackson family never fails to lure the top buyers from all over the world. Newsletter readers know that we like to use it as a barometer for what is happening in the collector car market. They always have a wide variety of popular collector cars giving us plenty of cars to analyze statistically. Here is a link to the page on the Barrett-Jackson website where you can search for cars from the Las Vegas sale. You can for instance type in 1970 Chevelle SS and see what cars were in the sale. Then click on the lot number and you'll see details on the car and the price for which it sold.
NASCAR COLLECTOR TRUCK

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."Sometimes you just get lucky. That's the way we feel about our first DEAL of the DAY this week which will hit our front page on Saturday. It is a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra with the legendary
429CJ engine offered for sale from San Antonio, Texas. The seller says it is a "J code" ram air with an older repaint in the original color, Grabber Green. He says it has the correct Cobra Jet block, original heads, intake and carburetor. He says the motor is upgraded internally with solid cam, new double roller chain and more. Furthermore, he says it has a built C6 transmission with high stall torque converter. The car is documented with a build sheet, Marti report of which you should ask to see the copies. What a find for this price. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday with an asking price of just $19,950. Even in this down market you don't expect to see a desirable muscle car for under $20,000!
Remember last week when we had a 1951 Kaiser Special for sale right here in the Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter as a DEAL of the DAY candidate to be published on our main page on Monday? Well, we believe a knowledgable newsletter reader saw it published here first and bought it before we could even get it on the front page DEAL of the DAY promotion. It was marked SOLD before we could even get the promotion on
the front page. Well, today the same Ft. Lauderdale collector has offered an even more important Kaiser for sale. Here is a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan. He says the car has been owned by the same family since 1960 and is most likely the nicest, most original example in existence. "With only 87,994 original miles, the car is in impeccable condition," he writes in his ad copy. Will this one sell before it has a chance to become a DEAL of the DAY? Hurry! It is priced at just $14,750.
If you are an avid newsletter reader you may remember that we have advertised this 1941 Ford Street Rod before. Today it is being offered by a collector from Kerrville, Texas. He says it is
somewhat of a project. At this point he says all components are new or newly rebuilt. By his estimation this car is about 95 percent done. The drive train has a 305 modified Chevy engine, 200r4 tranny, 3:31 posi Jag rear end, Mustang II front clip with rack and pinion steering. He says it also has Vintage air and Ron Francis Wiring. One of its stellar features is a nice 2-tone silver pearl paint. And there is more. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of just $15,500. You know what we always say. This is a nearly finished car at a starter car price.
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
A 1959 Ford F100 Pickup truck from Brentwood, California still has its black plates. This is one of those classic vehicles that people will say "restore it while you drive it." The seller
says it was used on errands and runs to the dump for the last 17 years. They say it is very original with 80,700 miles on the 6 cylinder engine with a 3-speed manual transmission. According to the description, the dash has never been cut, it has had one repaint and there is some minor rust in the usual places. They say it needs window rubbers and a few other items. Keep in mind that this truck may need restoration. It will be our DEAL of the DAY later in the week. The asking price is only $3,900.
Here is another very original car. A rare 1956 Chrysler New Yorker has been listed from Stoughton, Wisconsin. The seller
does not give us much detail about the car. He says it is in excellent condition with a 354 hemi engine, power steering, power brakes, power windows and power seats and radial tires. He says the car is beautiful. No word on whether the paint is original or new. He does indicate that the air conditioning needs work. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because this car is priced at $14,500. At that price this it would be interesting to find out more about the car.
I guess the reason we included this 1967 Chevy El Camino in the DEAL of the DAY this week is because it looks so good in the photos. It is obvious from the description that it is a driver
class car. The seller fails to include information on how original the car is or the pedigree. The seller includes the information the it currently is equipped with a rebuilt, aluminum 283 small block and a close ratio 4-speed. It now has disc brakes, new clutch, windshield and interior, according to the ad. The seller says the paint is fair, and that there is a slight crack in the dash. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because the asking price is only $8,500.
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
This may be the sleeper of the week among the low priced cars listed today. This 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 was
listed by a collector from Lansing, Kansas. The seller says he is only the second owner, but nevers says that the 400 motor and 400 Turbo transmission are original. This is the first question I would ask. He says it has been garaged 95 percent of the time, and that it is still a real head turner. Those are Corvette wheels. He says it has always been pampered and maintained. It will be featured in our DEAL of the DAY on the front page of our website next week if it doesn't sell before then ... the asking price is only $9,900.
More cars could have qualified for this week's DEAL of the DAY feature than we have days to publish them. Often there are more cars than we can feature on our front page every week. Here is a list of cars that just missed the cut for the DEAL of the DAY feature. Remember, you saw them here first:
1965 Ford Fairlane 500 Huntington, NY $8,800
1947 Ford Coupe Mankato, MN $9,900
1972 Dodge Charger Clearwater, FL $14,900
1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A St. Charles, MO $7,995
CARS FOR $10,000-AND-UNDER
You'll be blown away by these values, all $10,000 and Under. Some of these cars are outstanding, really nice cars, not junk, and yet they are priced at what we would consider "pocket change."
1955 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 New Waverly, TX $4,000
1951 Oldsmobile 88 2-Dr Jefferson, WI $7,995
1992 Cadillac Allante Mankato, MN $7,990
1963 Buick Riviera Jefferson, WI $9,995
1979 Lincoln Mark V Sun Prairie, WI $8,500
1981 Oldsmobile 98 Colby, KS $8,995
1979 Ford Granada Alsip, IL $4,900
2003 VW Jetta Bora Methuen, MA $9,995
1989 Mercedes 560SEL St. Charles, MO $7,995
