For the fourth week in a row now we are seeing record numbers of cars sell. This week Camaros are hot. Not only did we sell a half dozen classic Camaros, but several late model Camaros were marked SOLD this week as well.
Last week a famous lead sled built by Hall of Fame builder Rick Dore sold in just a few days. Newsletter readers may have noted that there was a sold sign on the ad the same day our newsletter came out. Again last week we noticed that four 1955 Chevy customs were sold. That trend had continued this week. So it looks like classic customs are hot. And we should not let it go unsaid that our website has SOLD six 1970-71 Dodge Challengers in the past two weeks. Man, that feels good. For more on this see the SOLD Feature below.
HOT MOPAR PROTOTYPE
Once in a while you hear a seller say his car is the "best of the best." Sometimes they are and sometimes not. But here is a car that literally defines the phrase. A 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE Convertible was delivered to Hutton Donaldson Dodge in Shreveport, Louisiana with a production date of August 2, 1969. Because that dealership was the largest in the region they had been given this promo car, one of only six made, to tout the inaugural year of the Challenger. Each of the promo cars was equipped with a 440 6 Pack, 4-speed Pistol Grip,4:10 Dana rear gear with Super Track Pack option and every available option for that year.
The current owner says that of those six, this is the only one that remained in the hands of the original owner all these years. It has just undergone a complete restoration by reknowned Mopar expert Roger Gibson, and is now being represented for sale by Show Your Auto.com. The description says it has zero miles on a No. 1 condition concours restoration. They also describe it as being a trailer queen and museum quality. The buyer will receive two broadcast sheets and the original dealer paperwork. This car will be sought after by the top Mopar collectors in the country. You can find it today in the Cars On Line Mopar Muscle Car Section.
RANDOM NEWS BITS
Classic pickup trucks are once again commanding more attention in this collector car market. We've noticed that our Truck Section has climbed into the Top Ten among the most popular sections on our website. Of course, the Camaro Section is still No. 1 followed by the Classic Dodge Section and Classic Plymouth Section. Both of the later categories are pumped up by the demand for Mopar muscle cars... on AOL this week they showed some statistics about the new car market that are pretty revealing. What do you think was the best selling vehicle in September? The Toyota Camry? No. The Ford Fusion? No. The Honda Civic? No. The top selling vehicle in the United States in September was the 2010 Ford F-150 Pickup Truck. Ford sold 33,877 F-150 trucks in September according to AOL's news feed. The 2010 Ford Fusion is the best selling car overall for the entire 2010 sales year so far.
TOP VIDEO ADS THIS WEEK
The hottest video ad this week is one done by Show Your Auto.com, a small company that represents some large collections. Many of the top collectors around the country donot have time to sell their own cars so they hire companies like Show Your Auto.com to thin their herd. One of the things that Show Your Auto.com can do for them is produce a video that will inspire sales. They did one on a 1970 Plymouth Hemi Road Runner from Shreveport, Louisiana. It comes from a collection of top muscle cars. Here is a link to the video. It starts out by showing you a view of how it would feel to drive in this Hemi powered car. Then they actually show you how beautiful the undercarriage is, give you a walk around and show you the Hemi engine compartment. By the time you've seen the entire video you almost have performed your own inspection. Now that's the way to sell a car.
Here are some more hot videos that came in this week.
HOOD ORNAMENT CONTEST
The hood ornament defined a car back in the day. For some car enthusiasts, hood ornaments are collector items in themselves. Are you one of those collectors?

AMERICAN GREED
This week, an advertiser alerted our office to a phone sales tactic that may effect people who advertise on our website as well as all advertising websites on the internet. It seems that a company in Las Vegas is contacting our advertisers to convert them to an ad on their site. People have been telling us that they paid exorbitant amounts to convert to the more expensive ad package and did not get any response from the ads.One of our advertisers wrote us an email asking us to get the word out about this company. They said they had been contacted by a salesman for Sure Sell Autos.com. The salesman told our advertiser that their asking price was too low and assured them that he could get them more money for their car if they advertised through his program. He promised that their vehicle would be advertised on multiple internet sites with the purchase of one of their advertising packages. He said Sure Sell Autos.com offers to take care of all the details in the sale including financing for the buyer, warranty and shipping. "They promise to run ads on lots of internet sites for you," the advertiser told us. Sure Sell Autos.com charged this advertiser $600, according to their complaint.
This company called Sure Sell Autos.com does have an internet website. The site is registered to an owner in Las Vegas, Nevada. Evidently their M.O. is to contact people advertising on well known websites and try to convert them to using Sure Sell Auto.com. We looked them up on Ripoff Report.com, a website that records complaints of internet abuse, and found that there were some complaints against Sure Sell Autos.com. One of the complainants said Sure Sell Autos.com told him they would sell his car for 40 to 50 percent more than his asking price. They told him if he bought their most expensive ad package they could sell the car "very fast." He said that if you don't bite on their first proposal they will begin lowering the price until you accept their advertising. That is a classic tactic used by time share sellers. He said that after a month went by he checked the websites where the ads were supposed to be placed and said he never found an ad for his car. We also checked with the Chamber of Commerce and found that there were many complaints against Sure Sell Autos.com.
"I fell for this scam and want to let you and others know. DON'T GET INVOLVED with these (expletive deleted)," our advertiser wrote in an email.
Newsletter readers know that Cars On Line.com gets more page views than any classic car website on the internet. There is no place better to advertise. That is why both buyers and sellers feel so safe on the Cars On Line website.
