RICK DORE CLASSIC CUSTOM
Just a few weeks ago a Pennsylvania car hobbyist was thinning his collection and happened to list a custom Merc lead sled which was designed and built by Rick Dore, a Hall of Fame custom car builder and winner of countless design awards. It SOLD in a couple of days. Newsletter readers who opened their newsletter late found a SOLD sign on the beautiful SLIDE SHOW ad. We're only telling you this because another Rick Dore classic custom has been listed by Classic Car Marketing in Southern California ... we don't want you to miss out on this one.You can feast your eyes on the 1961 Cadillac DeVille Series 62 designed by Dore. He debuted the car at the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas in 1962. It received the
"Custom Lowrider of the Year" award that year. Classic Car Marketing says, "This custom has been nosed, decked and completely shaved, with rear bumpers frenched, and the rear fins cut, stretched, sharpened and filled." Colorado Custom Julesburg wheels were made for this particular car. It comes equipped with a rebuilt 390 V8 engine with 325 horsepower. It has full Air Ride Technologies suspension. Marcos Garcia of Lucky 7 Customs painted the car in a special candy orange paint laid over a gold base with a custom mix of metal flake flames and pin striping along the sides, hood, and interior dash. In 2007, this Cadillac Lowrider was named Goodguys Southwest Nationals "Coolest Custom." Classic Car Marketing says, "This awesome piece of rolling art built by Rick Dore is a must have in any custom collection."
VERY RARE MASERATI OFFERED
I once was looking for a photo of a Maserati Ghibli Spider and literally couldn't find one anywhere on the internet. That's how rare this car is. The Auto Collections inLas Vegas now has one for sale. I am very pleased they included several detailed photos of this rare 1972 Maserati Ghibli SS Spider. No wonder you can't find photos of this model. There were only 25 ever built. Among exotic sports car afficionadoes it is one of the most desirable cars you can own. The car is powered by its original front engine quad-cam 335 hp V8. It has a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 6.8 seconds, has a top speed of 154 mph + and transfers that power by its 5-speed manual transmission. The Auto Collections tells us that they believe the 4.9 SS Spider is one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

A 1996 Pontiac Trans Am was just listed by The Auto Collections of Las Vegas. They describe it as being "new" and still "in the wrapper."

As the story goes, it was special ordered by a Pontiac executive with every option available. They say it is well documented. Incredibly, the ad copy says it has only 16,xxx actual miles. This is definitely a high grade investment car.It is so amazing how when a car remains in one family for generations it often doesn't get used enough to have any miles on it.

There have been some very interesting restoration projects listed recently. These cars are very desirable and have the potential to be worth more than the cost to restore.

Kassabian Motors in Dublin, California has listed it for sale. They say it just needs finishing. You can buy it at a very nice price, $14,995.And there's more:

The sellersays it has an original 389 big block and a recently rebuilt tripower, plus newly rebuilt Borg-Warner T-10 4-speed transmission. He says the rear gear is 3.23. He says the car runs, rides, handles and stops excellent; has new tires, Flowmaster exhaust, battery, flywheel and clutch assy. In the ad copy you'll find that the body is straight and the 10-year-old paint shines with no dents or deep scratches. He says the interior is in great shape as well as the trunk with no rust, original mat and spare tire. The seller indicates that there is a wrinkly in the left rear interior sail panel and the rear package tray is fading. Check out the SLIDE SHOW ad on this one. It sure takes a nice picture. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday with an asking price of $19,500.
Classic Ford Thunderbirds have just survivied two years of downward trending prices. One of the theories for the depreciation is that so many of the Thunderbirds have been restored now that the shear numbers have flooded the market. While it is true that there are many to choose from it is also true that they are as desirable today as they were
three years ago when they peaked pricewise. Take this coral red 1955 Ford Thunderbird from Saint Paul, Virginia. It is unrestored, yet still in good original condition. It comes with the removable porthole hardtop, a 292 ci engine and 3-speed on the floor. The seller says it comes from California and he still has a California title, and remains rust free. He says it has a new windshield and new chrome. Front bumper guards come with the vehicle although they are not shown in the photos. He says the "car is as good as can be found without total restoration." It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because the seller is only asking $22,700. Anything under $30,000 on a car this good deserves a look.
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.
The 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS just listed from Hattiesburg, Mississippi looks like a nice "starter car" type street machine. According to the ad copy, it has a 350 ci engine with
aluminum heads and intake, lopey cam, Hooker headers, Holley carb, Accell and MSD ignition, and more. The seller says the transmission is a Turbo 400 with 2500 stall torque converter, and the rear end has a 10-bolt center with 3.31 posi type rear gear. He says it runs cool and is fun to drive. It "will make someone a good entry level muscle car," he says. But it will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because of the way the seller has it priced. You can own it now for $14,000.
A motorcycle collector from Bay Springs, Mississippi listed one of his private stock this week. He is offering a 2003 Harley VRod
at a very nice price. It has 28k miles on it and he says it has been to Sturgis three time and Daytona twice. It has heated grips, a quick release windshield, Sundowner seats, chrome belt cover and custom foot pegs, according to the ad copy. In fact, there are lots of extras on this bike, he says. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because the asking price is $8,500.
Here is a classic Corvette that is priced right and has investment potential. A 1974 Corvette Convertible was listed from South
Woodstock, Connecticut. More importantly, this Corvette Convertible comes with the venerable 454 big block engine. The seller, who may be a classic dealer, says the numbers match and that it has a deluxe interior. He also states that the frame is rust fee and has never been in a wreck. This car seems to have potential. Yet he's asking only $22,500. That's why it will be our DEAL of the DAY.
This one is more of a project than we usually feature here, but it's such a unique opportunity that we think it should be a DEAL of the DAY. A 1967 Chevelle 2-Dr Hardtop was listed from Carpentersville, Illinois. Keep in mind that the seller says this was
once a Car Craft magazine feature car. The seller says it is set up for a short block, but you will have to provide the Chevy 350 engine. Black, with Candi stripes, this car has a custom interior with swiveling bucket seats. He says it comes with Dart aluminum heads, MSD ignition, a 4-speed transmission and 12-bolt rear with a Moroso posi unit and 4.11 gears. He says there are so many custom features, he'll have to tell you about all of them when you call. It sounds like he will be losing his storage spot for this car so he has to sell. His loss could be your gain. The asking price is $14,500.
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.
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:
1963 Chevy C-10 Omaha, NE $9,950 1976 Chevy El Camino Mays Landing, NJ $6,900 1967 Chevelle 2-Dr HT Carpentersville, IL $14,500 1966 Chevelle Convertible Philadelphia, PA $16,000 1971 Chevelle Malibu Sparks, NV $14,000 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."
