HRG IS ONE OF ONLY THREE
The Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas has posted some high powered and rare vintage motorcars. One of them is a limited edition HRG race car, said to be one of only three produced. The 1954 HRG Twin Cam sports racer was builtto compete in Gentlemans' races in England, such as the Goodwood Festival races, against legendary race car drivers as Sir Sterling Moss and Colin Chapman. This car was numbered 15APB. It had helicopter adapted disc brakes that could be replaced in 15 minutes because of the spider style wheels. It also had a tubular chassis which gave it superior handling and roadability. The HRG Engineering Co Ltd had been formed to build sports cars. The Bitish manufacturer built 241 cars between 1936 and 1956. Enthusiasts and owners nicknamed these cars "Hurgs." The Auto Collections is housed at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino. Many of the cars on display at their museum are for sale, including this rare 1954 HRG.
Another incredibly rare and exotic classic car listed by The Auto Collections is a 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Ghia, which would be hard to find today even in Europe. It was delivered new to George Walker, then Vice President of Design at Ford Motor Company and comes with known provenance. They say it returned to the U.S. in the year 2000. This Alfa was also shown at Florida’s Italia Fest in February and received a
2nd in class award. A casual observer might consider that the 1900 SS Ghia looked a lot like the B.A.T. concept cars designed for Alfa Romeo by Bertone based on the 1900 Sprint chassis. But the 1900 SS Ghia was actually a production vehicle, although it is one of only 20 built by Ghia, and the only one that was built on this "long wheel base." In '54, Alfa introduced a larger engine with more horsepower. This Super Sprint version was thought to produce 115 horsepower. The 1900 was the first Alfa Romeo to be produced on a production line. The base engine was a 4 cylinder 1884 cc with dual overhead cams. It was longitudinally mounted in the engine bay. The 1900 utilized a basic sports car suspension, independent front suspension with wishbones and coil springs.

PRICE CHANGES PAGE
A couple of years ago top dollar for a high quality street rod could easily have gone into six figures. Today those numbers are hard to come by, so more and more you see the big dollarstreet rods going for less. This week a 1934 Ford Roadster from Boston, Massachusetts was reduced in price from $120,000 down to $85,000. This particular street rod is set apart form all others because of the mopar drive train. It was given a 1967 426 race hemi producing 750 horsepower. Of course, it does have an independent front suspension and stainless steel 3" exhaust. I think if the seller had used a SLIDE SHOW ad he might have been able to get better results. With the photos he used you have to have a good imagination to figure out why this car might deserve big numbers. Oh well, his loss may be your gain. I'd check this one out closely. It might be a diamond in the rough. If you don't check the Price Changes page today you will miss great deals like this street rod.

DEAL OF THE DAY
This week the DEAL of the DAY feature has some cars that are extra nice for the price. Even here in the Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter we aren't used to such highly desirable cars showing up at such low prices. Newsletter readers know that we feature the best prices 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 featured bargains among the fresh ads on our website. Then during the coming week you'll see these cars on our home page in the DEAL of the DAY graphic that looks like a "rear view mirror."Usually our lead DEAL of the DAY for any given week is a nice No. 3 condition car, often mostly stock original. Well, this week our top DEAL of the DAY breaks the mold. The built 1966 Chevy Nova street machine that was offered for sale from
Shawnee, Kansas will get more than a few hot rodders excited. Just for starters it has a Chevy small block 355 with 4-bolt main webbing. They say it is estimated at 450 horsepower. It has Stinnet Racing Turbo 350 transmission built to handle 750 horsepower, TCI 3500 stall converter, transmission cross member built to accept Turbo 350, 400 and 700R. The 9" Ford posi rearend with new Auburn Pro Series gear, new 390 rear end gear, plus Mustang II front end with rack and pinion steering. When you read the rest of the description you'll be blown away by how much time and top end equipment has been built into this outstanding street machine. The seller says he needs money to finish another car. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday because ... are you sitting down? ... the asking price is only $22,000. Hurry!
Shelby Cobras are the most often reproduced classic car ever. Some are just replicas but some are authentic in detail and design. Factory Five is recognized as one of the best builders of Cobra reproductions. And we have never before seen one offered this
cheap. Here is a 1965 Factory Five Cobra from Douglassville, Pennsylvania. This model is called a Mk III. The seller decided to represent this trophy for sale in a detailed SLIDE SHOW ad. It has a stock 302 ci 5.0L EFI, FFR 4 into 4 exhaust, rebuilt AOD automatic transmission, 3:08, posi rear end. Interestingly the seller says it has Lincoln MK VIII front disk brakes, Flaming River steering rack, FFR tubular lower control arms, Lokar automatic shifter assembly, FFR full length rollbar, Simpson harnesses and 15" PSE Halibrand wheels. The seller says it has been titled as a 1965. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday with an asking price of $19,500. We have never seen a Factory Five Cobra priced so reasonably.
If you are in the market for a Cobra replica today is your lucky day. There is also a 1965 Factory Five Cobra for sale from Sparta, Tennessee for $27,500. And another 1965 Cobra 427SC from Niskayuna, New York was listed for $26,500. Anything under $30,000 signals a potential good deal. These should be worth your time to inspect.Once in a while we'll see a nice starter car quality street rod listed for under $30,000. But when that car is a Deuce Roadster that looks this nice you're gonna see some hot
rodders making a beeline for the phone. Just look at this 1932 Ford Roadster from Fayetteville, North Carolina. Don't get me wrong. This is no show car. But it is way more than a starter car and still has a starter car price. The seller says it has a Ford 9" rear end, independent front suspension with coilovers, 4-link in the rear with coilovers and TCI frame. He says it has Moon gauges, Lokar shifter, roll bar, and a one-piece hard lift off top with zip-in side windows. He says no expense was spared in building this car, and that you could drive it anywhere. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week if it lasts that long. The price listed is $26,000 even. Hurry!
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.
Although the seller says this is a real Dart GTS, forget about originality for a second. What Mopar collector wouldn't want to have a GTS set up like this? The 1969 Dodge
Dart GTS from Fort Wayne, Indiana is well sorted out. The seller says it comes with the custom Dart SS hood, built 440 big block with Edelbrock aluminum Stage I heads, TTi chrome headers, 3" exhaust, chrome tips exiting in front of the rear tires, dual quads with 650 Edelbrock carbs, automatic transmission with shift kit and TCI shifter, 3.55 posi rear end and has been mini-tubbed. He says it has a Dodge Stealth bucket seat interior and a front disc brake conversion. This is a lot of car for the money. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $22,750. I don't think you can get a clone for that price.
Here is, maybe, the real sleeper in this group of DEALs of the DAY. Consider a convertible Ford sports car with a big block and the asking price is less than $10,000!That's right ... here is a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible that comes with a 390 big block motor and an automatic transmission. The seller says it has many new parts to include a new top, all new shocks, rear coil springs, rear brakes and hardware kit, 4 new tires, spark plugs, wires, cap, points, rotor and motor mount. The seller from Apollo, Pennsylvania says it runs great. He says it has one repaint and has no tears in the interior. The miles are over 92k. He says it is a very solid car. The pictures seem to indicate that might be the case. This will be a DEAL of the DAY next week. How can you beat this asking price? $9,500 !!
This one is a bit of a project, but a very desirable collector car on our "future collectible" radar. Yes, the desirable 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport has rust and needs paint. But
the seller says it seems to have only 38k miles. He says he was told the mileage is correct by the former owner. He says it has the original 351 Cleveland engine and that it runs well. He even states that the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. He thinks it was originally a black/black car. But it needs paint anyway. He says the dash pad is excellent and all the gauges work. This one might be worth checking out. Even though it will need a restoration, the potential that this car may have is why it will be our DEAL of the DAY priced at $3,750.
Here's a car that got what we call a "trim and a shave" instead of a restoration. The Manchester, Tennessee private owner of the car said he bought it thinking it was a real
Chevelle Convertible. Turns out it was just a hardtop converted into a convertible. So now he just wants to move this 1967 Chevelle and is selling it cheap. The seller says there are definitely some issues that need to be figured out on this car, including the paint and motor. You can see from the photos that this car was jury rigged together by some backyard car jockey. The current owner is letting it go for pocket change ... $8,900.
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:

1977 Cadillac Coupe Ringgold, GA $11,500
CARS FOR $10,000-AND-UNDER
