DEBUTS AT THE LA AUTO SHOW
At the Los Angeles Auto Show this week a new 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 roadster was unveiled. It comes with improved suspension handling, structural rigidity and new lower and upper control arms. That is a fair amount of change for an exotic super car that is already well sorted out. Consider that this may be the last year for the Viper,according to those who read the tea leaves over at Chrysler, LLC. It will also be featured with brand new front and rear stabilizer bars as well as state-of-the-art front and rear coil-over shocks. The roadster is the package you see pictured here. Among the new colors being talked about for this year is a Toxic orange pearl and a Bright silver metallic clear coat. You'll notice the new wider racing stripes.
Only 500 Viper SRT10's will be produced in 2010. There will be a number of limited edition models offered.Its appearance at the L.A. Auto Show is the first time it has been shown this year. The 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, which is held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, began on December 4 and will run through December 13, 2009. It kicks off the new car show season here in the U.S. Click here for a look at concept cars and new offerings making their debut at the L.A. Auto Show.
The tires are revised and the new Viper SRT-10 comes with the ABS tuned rear Michelin ZP sport tires along with the valve stem tire pressure monitoring sensors.
The 600 horsepower, 8.4 liter V-10 engine remains unchanged. So it will still do 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds and a quarter-mile time in the mid 11's. It's hard to improve on that. But the transmission in the 2010 Viper will have a shorter fifth gear ratio. By using a ZF Sachs twin-disc clutch, Dodge engineers reduced pedal effort and improved the engagement sensation.
The winged 2010 Viper SRT10 ACR coupe, designed for road racing, just recently broke the lap record at Laguna Seca Raceway.
OVER-THE-TOP CUSTOM
It took an Aussie custom car fanatic with extreme attention to detail to literally fabricate this awesome custom car from his own imagination. Not since Sam Barris did the Hirohata '50 Merc Lead Sled has a car created such a buzz throughout the custom car culture. And to top it off, this was the first attempt at a custom design by this Australianbuilder. This all-metal 1950 Mercury Custom has been dubbed "Mercules" by its builder. They say it took 10,000 man hours to build. The ground breaking style, concept and execution are the stuff legends are made of. They say it has 170 body mods, including the smoothed and filled all steel body, shortened nose, decked hood, suicide doors and extended rear end. According to Classic Car Marketing in SoCal, every inch of this car is custom fabricated. The top was an excruciatingly difficult chop, taking 1 1/2 inches from the front and up to 4 inches in the back. The A pillar was leaned back 7 inches to create a unique design flow. They say there are 900 hours in the custom paint. And then there is the interior where the dash and console were custom fabricated. If you hadn't seen it here, you might not have believed it, right? Classic Car Marketing in Southern California is representing this one-of-a-kind classic custom. And it is currently for sale.

TOP VIDEO ADS THIS WEEK
Our friends at Streetside Classics in Charlotte, North Carolina have loaded up a lot of video ads this week. One that caught our eye is a 1968 Camaro RS/SS 396 big block car with a houndstooth interior.Crank up the sound and click here to view an up close and personal video of this great muscle car. They don't say anything about it being a numbers matching car anywhere in the description so I don't guess it is an investment play. But what a great ride! Along with the 396ci power plant comes a 4-speed manual transmission, fresh blue paint and new black houndstooth interior. A nice driver, they say it has power steering and power brakes. It also comes with custom wheels and radial tires. Click here for a complete listing of the inventory at Streetside Classics.

PROJECT CARS
1941 Willys Coupe
yours to finish
1939 Ford Coast to Coast Roadster
hard work already done
1938 Chevy 2-Door
just needs interior / paint
We're all about street rods this week in the Project Car Section. A 1941 Willys Coupe (shown above left) has been listed from Nickerson, Oklahoma and the seller says he's just got too many other things to accomplish in life and he's willing to let someone else finish it. This car has a mild steel chassis with Mustang II front end, rack and pinion with coil overs and disk brakes. The chassis is certifiable for NHRA drag racing, according to the seller. A similar situation occurred with the 1939 Ford Coast to Coast Roadster (shown above center) from Fitchburg, Massashusetts. It was designed and built by New England Rod & Custom, one of the largest hot rod shops on the East Coast. They say all the hard work has been done. There is a long list of top quality equipment that is already built into this very desirable rod. You get it all for a reasonable investment. And a 1938 Chevy 2-Door Sedan (above right) is so close to being finished but the Gainesville, Georgia hot rodder has to sell it now. He indicates that it was completely disassembled and rebuilt by an experienced builder. He says the only things left are to finish the interior and paint the car.In looking for a project car to restore, make sure you watch our New Listings page for daily updates. Or you can find hundreds of project cars for sale now in the Cars On Line Project Car Section online.
PRICE CHANGES PAGE
A 1970 Chevelle SS from Castleton, Virginia just got a PRICE REDUCED tag posted onit. This is interesting. The ad says it has a true SS LS3 with a U in the vin. It has correct round gauges and tach in dash, #s matching 402 Big Block Chevy engine is now high performance and 450 hp, TH400 trans and 12-bolt posi rear end. The color is Viking blue with silver stripes and a black interior. The one drawback may be that it is a column shift automatic with a bench seat instead of a console with buckets. But for an SS that just makes it more rare. The seller has reduced the price to $25,000. It looks pretty nice for such a reasonable price.

The classic Camaro is the hottest muscle car among today's internet buyers. A 1968 Camaro RS/SS has been listed by a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida hobbyist. This car is triple black, has a small block Chevy 350
engine and an M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed, with 12-bolt, 3.42 posi rear end. The seller says it has all new components: new exhaust, new ceramic headers, electric conversion remote controlled headlamp doors, new suspension front and rear, new power steering, factory console, all new gauges and AM-FM pushbutton radio. He invites you to view the fully detailed engine bay, detailed underside, detailed interior and walnut center dash with ash tray. A chance like this does not come along that often. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday with an asking price of just $26,900.
Classic pickup trucks are getting popular again. Here is a 1953 Chevy Custom Pickup with a nice original look from Cotati,
California. It is a shortbed with some custom mods, like the Mustang II front end, 350/330 hp motor, Turbo 350 automatic transmission, air conditioning, heater, tilt wheel, AM/FM with CD, power windows and Chevy 10-bolt rear end with 373 gears. The photos show the custom interior, and it has a newer oak bed. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday with an asking price of $14,950.
Chevelle muscle car enthusiasts will jump all over this deal. A 1969 Chevelle SS has been listed from State Road, North Carolina. The seller says it is all numbers matching, a local
1-owner car and has the big block 396//325 hp motor with an automatic transmission. It comes with nice options like power steering, power brakes and cold factory air conditioning. He indicates that he has the Protect-O-Plate plate. Hurry on this one. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week if it lasts that long. The price listed is $28,500.
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.
Look, a Las Vegas collector is offering his 1973 Plymouth Duster 340 for sale. The car seems to take a good picture but you might want to ask what that flat rear tire is all
about. The seller says it has only 40k original miles, a 1-owner title and says that everything is original except for the steering wheel. The ad says the car has bucket seats, white interior, white vinyl roof, Torqueflite automatic transmission and even air conditioning. The seller adds that there is not rust or bondo on this car, which you would expect if it has always been a Nevada car. You'll want to check this one out, but hurry. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week ... the asking price is only $9,000.
The Oldsmobile Toronado came out in 1966 and what a terrific impact it made on the car industry at that time. It has a futuristic design which still holds up today, and it wascontroversially front wheel drive. Today we have one of these incredible cars for sale on the collector car market, and I consider it to be an investment play at this price. It is a 1968 Oldsmobile Toronado from Newton, North Carolina. It has great pedigree. The seller says it comes with all the paper work, including origianl window sticker and all receipts for repairs and maintenance since new. He describes it as a very nice 2-owner Toronado with one repaint. This will also be a DEAL of the DAY because the asking price is $15,000. Hurry!
The 380 SL Mercedes was produced between 1981 and 1985, a short run for a fine motorsports convertible roadster. It was built on the workhorse R107 chassis. Here was see a 1984 Mercedes 380 SL Roadster being offered for sale by a Norwich,
Connecticut man. One gets the feeling that this car may have been treated rather special. They describe it as beautiful and clean. They say it is a nice running convertible with only 43k miles on it. It was originally from a southern state. They say it has no rust or dents. The interior has the optional rear seat added. The seller says it was only used as a summer driver and garaged all year round. What is surprising is the price. The elegant sports convertible will be our DEAL of the DAY with a price of $12,500. That's pretty affordable when you consider its potential as a collector car.
When the Fox body Mustang first came out everyone compared it with the Euro cars like Mercedes. The design was pretty European looking for an American car. That first year the Mustang was the Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 race, an honor not often
bestowed upon Ford products. This 1979 Mustang Pace Car has been listed by a collector from Whitby, Ontario, Canada. But after reading the description, what you might be getting here is a modernized resto rod by the looks of it. It has a built 331 stoker, forged crank and h-beam rods, Edelbrock RPM heads, TFS stage 2 cam, Roller rockers and Weiand Stealth intake. It has a T-5 manual transmission with a Centerforce clutch and Hurst shifter. And the list goes on. Suffice it to say we can't believe you can get this much car for the asking price. It will be our DEAL of the DAY priced at $15,000.
