BREAKING NEWS! The collector car market is up 19 percent since the lows of last January 2009. See the Cars On Line market analysis below with a link to our chart of hot cars in the current collector car market.
Have you noticed that in the last few weeks how many quality street rods are showing up in our New Listings? There seems to be a ground swell of activity in old school hot rods as well as high tech street rods. Today you'll see a continuation of that trend. Also see customs, street machines, Pro Touring cars and Pro Streets ... the kind of cars that are creeping up in value because of recent exposure from the Barrett-Jackson televised auctions. You'll want to make sure to view these cars below.
The notable thing about our new listings this week is the number of interesting project cars being listed. From Rolls Royce Phantoms to Hemi Super Bees, the list of projects runs the gamut.For a look at what's selling in the real world check the SOLDs Feature below. This week, there is an amazing diversity in what is selling. One trend I've noted is that '50s classics are still hot. 1955-57 Fords are as popular as Tri Five Chevys in this market (althought most '50s Chevys command a much higher price.) Project cars for restoration are also very popular. I'd say about half of the cars SOLD this week have PRICE REDUCED tags. Be sure to check the Price Changes page below to find out in real time which cars are being marked down.
THE LAST "BIG HEALEY"
Talk about an incredible investment play, here is what is said to be the last Austin Healey "Big Healey" produced. Dan Schmitt & Company have this 1967 Austin Healey 3000Mark III for sale. They say it just arrived from Southern California and they describe it to be the "last Austin Healey 3000 built and shipped to the U.S. They say that their full documentation on this car includes factory records and that the car is British Motor Heritage certified. The car came fitted with nearly every option, including wire wheels, overdrive, laminated windscreen, adjustable steering column, roadspeed tires, octagon wheel nuts and more.
We've seen how the prices on these Big Six cylinder Healeys have exploded in recent years at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. A few years ago, the price on a freshly restored and detailed Big Healey crossed over the $100,000 mark. Now with the opportunity to acquire the last one produced for export, just think of the investment potential that exists here.
Dan Schmitt & Company has the knack for offering rare and important collector cars. For a look at the entire inventory at Dan Schmitt & Company's gallery in St. Louis just click this link.
COLLECTOR CAR MARKET UP 19 PERCENT
Here is some welcome news that car collectors have been waiting to here. As a followup to last week's story on the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas we thought we'd update our charts on market trends and pricing. Click here for an analysis of pricing trends based on the most recent Barrett-Jackson Auction. After having the opportunity to see the average values on the chart and compare them to last years numbers we can see that values are up 19 percent since January of this year. Given that we are coming out of a recessionary economy those numbers are inspiring. By reading our analysis of price trends since January 2009, you can see that collector car values are on an uptick.
CHICAGO AREA CUSTOM BUILDER
Just in time for Halloween, a custom car designer from the Chicago area has posted one of his all time best builds. It is the nationally known "Voodoo Kreeper," a kool kustom lead sled that breaks the mold for klassic kustoms. When you get George Barris, Gene Winfield and Darryl Starbird to sign one of your custom creations you really must be doing something right. The 1953 Chevy Custom, dubbed the "VoodooKreeper," has been listed for sale from the Chicago area. View the SLIDE SHOW ad on this unique lead sled and you know right away that it is something special. This car was done by "Voodoo Larry" Tarantolo of Schaumburg, Illinois. Out of his local shop he is turning out some cars that are getting national attention. The "Voodoo Kreeper" has exaggerated lines and graphics that accentuate the custom cut. Its a total package, a new version of an old school styling. Here is a chance to have one of the best from Voodoo Larry Kustoms. What are early Gene Winfield cars going for in California? Click here for a link to Voodoo Larry Kustoms website to see more custom creations and rat rods.
VIDEO IN THE PARTS ADS
When we started the Cars On Line Parts Ads classified section of our website we wanted to give collectors a huge marketplace where they could find anything and become part of a big network of people who deal in classic car parts and accessories. There just isn't anyplace on the internet where you can find the kind of stuff you can find in our Parts Ads Section. A real collector friendly kind of site. We like to think we have achieved some of what we set out to do.For instance, if you want to run a video with your parts ad, Cars On Line will run the
video for no charge in our Classified Parts Section. You'll notice today that we have featured a neat video on a Rat Street Motor which has been offered for sale in the Hot Rod Parts Section of the Classified Parts Ads (click on the link for the Hot Rod Parts Section to see more high performance engines for sale.) The ad says this is a 650 hp big block street motor for sale by a hot rodder in Auburn Hills, Michigan. He had the good judgement to send us the video. You know we love good video and intend to display the heck out of it.
More and more car guys are using our Cars On Line Classified Parts Ads to sell extra parts, engines, transmissions, doors, quarters, interiors, wheels and more. And why not? It's the biggest "swap meet" on the internet. The ads in our Parts Section are FREE! That's the best deal on the internet for selling parts. In our parts section you'll get noticed. After all, no classic car website on the internet gets as many pageviews as Cars On Line.
LOW MILES CARS
1976 Cadillac Eldo Convt
only 19k actual miles
1986 ASC McLaren
29k actual miles
Back in 1976, Cadillac dealers spread the commonly held theory that the last great Eldorado Convertible would be a collector car from the gitgo. So tons of people purchased cars like this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible (shown above left) on speculation. Well the truth is that these cars have not realized their potential, not yet anyway. But what did happen is that a lot of these cars have been preserved for us today with very low miles. This one from Houston, Texas is one of those cars. They say it has only 19k actual miles. Another pampered treasure, the 1986 ASC McLaren Convertible (shown above right) has a similar story. Ford had McLaren and ASC do an aftermarket conversion on a limited number of Mercury Capris. Classic Auto Showplace in Michigan has offered this one for sale. They say it has just 29k actual miles.Don't miss more low miles cars for sale today in the New Listings, including these:

The 1965 Mustang GT Fastback (shown above left) from Gainesville, Virginia is a rare GT 2+2 originally Raven black, 4-speed and air conditioning. This car would certainly be worth restoring. And, oh my, when will you ever come across a Hemi project like this one again? A Canadian collector has listed this 1969 Dodge Hemi Super Bee project car. He says it has the original #s matching 426 Hemi engine. He also indicates that it has only 12k original miles. A Miami collector says this 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom is a "remarkable barn find."

PRICE CHANGES PAGE
There's a mystery car on the Price Changes page today. If you look at the ad for a1969 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible from Ormond Beach, Florida you'll see that this muscle car looks to be a Hurst Olds edition. The seller says it has a 455 HO big block and dual quad carbs and a 12-bolt rear end. He says it came with air conditioning, tilt steering and power options plus a tic toc tach, and that the car has just 85k miles. But for some reason the seller does not say it is a Hurst Olds, nor does he comment on its originality. Could it be that he just forgot to list that little detail? Or is this a clone? I don't know but we do know that they reduced the price from $59,000 down to $46,000.
Here are more notable Price Reductions:
FOR SALE ORIGINAL PRICE REDUCED PRICE 1969 COPO Camaro tribute $79,900 $69,900 1967 Mustang Eleanor $80,000 $65,000

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."Chevelles are among the Top Ten Most Popular collector cars, according to Google and Yahoo search engine statistics. Even in this slow economy it is not often that you
see a 1970 Chevelle SS big block car advertised below $30,000. Yet a seller from Moravia, Iowa says this is a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 which he says comes documented with a protecto-plate and build sheets. According to the ad copy this Chevelle has a numbers matching 396/350 hp engine, Turbo 400 automatic transmission, power steering, power disc brakes, 12- bolt rear, 3.31 gears and F-41 suspension (front and rear sway bars.) The color is Astro blue with black buckets with a console. You will notice that the seller says there are some problems that will need attention on this car. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday because the asking price is just $23,500.
'50s cars are so hot and here is one of the most popular and hard-to-find. A 1958 Chevrolet Impala 2-Door Hardtop has been listed by a collector from Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Now it is obviously not all original because the first thing the seller tells you in the ad copy is that it comes with a 350 engine with Turbo 350 transmission. From the photos and the description we figure this car is no better than a No. 3 driver class car, maybe less. You should have it inspected before you buy it. The seller says it has a good body with a minimum of rust, and that he has added power disc brakes, and that it has many other updates. Hurry, though. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday, with an asking price of $13,500.
Street rodders ponder this question all the time. How much more valuable is an all steel car than a fiberglass bodied car? Some hobbyists prefer the glass cars because of their
extreme custom look. Purists however will only go for the all steel cars, and when a steel car is offered for sale it usually increases the value. A 1939 Ford Business Coupe has been listed from Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and the selle says it is all steel with an original front axle, power steering, non-power front disc brakes, a sbc 350, Turbo 350 transmission and 12-bolt Chevy rear end. They say it is an older restoration and probably would be considered a driver class car. This car is what we call a raw starter type car. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because it is very affordably priced at $19,500.
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
Another big block Chevelle was listed from Huntington, New York. The private seller discloses that his 1966 Chevelle SS 396 has an NOM engine, but says it is a real 138
Code Super Sport car, ready to show or drive. He says it has all original body panels, restored from top to bottom, kneeknocker tach, M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed transmission, and all body panels line up as they should, underside is very nice, trunk is clean and original looking with light work done years ago. He says it runs and drives like new. It will be our DEAL of the DAY later in the week. The asking price is only $22,800.
Dollar for Dollar this is probably the best deal on our website this week. Take a look at the photos on this 1983 Chevy Dually Custom from Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Look
what you get. The seller says it comes with beautiful custom paint and ground effects, 1989 frontend, custom interior with embossed flames on all four door panels and headliner, Dakota Digital gauges, tinted glass, am/fm/cd player, amplifier and rear airbags. He says the undercarriage is as clean as the outside. Note the dual exhaust and headers. He says it has been lowered with dropped spindles. More important, he says it runs strong and shifts smooth. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because this truck is priced at only $7,495. That's a lotta truck for the money.
It's fun to see a late model 2007 Chevy HHR done as a custom. This one is from Cape Coral, Florida and the price is outstanding for this vehicle. If you need a daily driver,
here's your ride. The seller says this is a show winner and competed under the title, "The Hauler." It is nicely equipped with S/S Moon Disk wheels, oval S/S exhaust tip, air bags and window vents. The seller says it is a very comfortable ride, and says there are only 19k original miles. It comes with the automatic opening side doors. The paint alone cost $5,000, according to the ad copy. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week, if it doesn't sell before then, because the asking price is only $14,900.
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 1969 Chevrolet Custom 10 Pickup truck looks especially nice in the ad photos. It comes from a private seller in Allentown, Pennsylvania. All that can be known about it is from the ad copy. It
has a long bed, and the seller says it has been frame-off restored with everything new except mirrors and side cab glass. The seller says it was restored back to its original condition as it was in 1969, and he says it looks, runs and drives like a new truck. It has a V8 automatic with factory power steering and brakes. It will be featured in our DEAL of the DAY on the front page of our website next week ... the asking price is $15,000.
