Our staff is trying to squeeze in that last minute shopping and preparations so we can have some time off with our families. But we know how much this newsletter means to our readers. There will be a whole lotta' people with extra time on their hands this weekend and most of them will be on the Internet. So here is the New Listings page. Don't forget to check it during the weekend as it gets updated several times a day.You can bet some wild action will transfer into next week. This is the week we see some of those high priced cars disappear from our website as the tax year ends.Just in time for Christmas we have our best selection of Exotic Dream Cars ... the most Ferraris we've seen listed all year, thanks to two of the Specialty Sales dealerships in Pleasanton and San Marcos, California. See them featured below. There is also an incredible selection of Vintage American Motorcars, thanks to a new classic car dealership, Connors Motorcar Company in West Chester, Pennsylvania. More on Connors' investment quality classics below.
It has been the most tumultuous year we've ever seen for the collector car market. And this is the issue where we bring you our 2009 Years-End Market Update. So pour a warm drink, get comfortable and prepare for the best read of the year.
COLLECTOR CAR PRICES UP 19 PERCENT
There is much better news to report about the state of the collector car market this year. For those of you who remember, it was no fun having to report on the classic car market last year at this time. But things started getting better during the summer months in 2009. Comparing today's prices to last years numbers we can see that values are up 19 percent since December 2008. 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. Click here for a full report on collector car pricing using our sample group of cars to measure the value of today's market.From our report you will notice that classic '50s car prices are inching upward. We expect Rock N Roll '50s cars to lead the recovery in the collector car market. You can bet that classic '50s cars and pro touring customs will be the hot cars at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction next month in Scottsdale, Arizona.
1970 PLYMOUTH HEMI SUPERBIRD
Happy Days Dream Cars in Warrenburg, Missouri has announced that they have consigned their 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird to the Barrett-Jackson Auction next month in Scottsdale, Arizona. The sale will be viewable by all on SPEED TV on January 23 when SPEED will televise the entire days activities. Saturday is the "prime time" dayto have your car go through the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. That is when all the big money cars pass over the auction block and all the top collectors in the world are there to bid on them. It will be interesting to see what this car will draw in the big sale. The last time we watched a Hemi powered winged car cross the auction block it was at a Mecum Auction several years ago and the car drew over $700,000. Of course, that was when the market on Mopars was still at its peak. Dealers have been very upbeat recently about auction prices. One dealer who went to the Zephyrhills Auction in November told us he sold thirty cars there. So there is much anticipation that prices will start to trend upward with the Barrett-Jackson this January. Check the Cars On Line Car Show Calendar for events and dates on all the top car shows in the U.S. and Canada.
THE BEST OF CARS ON LINE
Just a reminder that next week the Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter will be published on Thursday again, during the week of New Years. In that last edition of the newsletter for 2009, we will be publishing the Cars On Line Year End Review, including The Best of Cars On Line for 2009. We'll feature some of the best cars sold through Cars On Line this past year. This is one of the most popular features we do all year. You won't want to miss it ... a great read for the holidays.
WELCOME A NEW DEALER
Just in time for Christmas, a new dealer has joined the Cars On Line Dealer Network. We'd like newsletter readers to welcome Connors Motorcar Company from West Chester, Pennsylvania. By joining us at this time they've made our Christmaslistings very special. In their inventory you will find some true investor quality vintage motorcars. Even when the muscle car market crashed last year, the old antique motorcars maintained their values. Connors is offering a truly rare 1929 Stutz Model M Dual Cowl Phaeton. It is the crown jewel of their current collection. They describe it as being "breathtaking" with its beautiful red body, burgundy fenders and excellent original black leather interior and tan canvas top. Stretched to 134 1/2" wheelbase, this dual cowl car was designed to be a toy of the wealthy classes prior to the Great Depression. This one has chrome wire wheels, dual side mounts, a 300 cubic inch overhead cam straight Eight producing 115 horsepower. They say it has only 42,000 miles.
Connors also has a rare Packard and a few vintage Cadillac limousines in their inventory. Click here to view their entire inventory on the Cars On Line website.
Newsletter readers should watch our New Listings page daily over the holidays. We expect a new classic car dealer from Illinois will be listing quite a few driver quality classics. The prices will be attractive.
INSPECTION ON A HEMI CHALLENGER
For those of you who had ordered inspections during the past month when we were having some transitional problems with our inspection system, we should be back to full service by the time you are reading this newsletter. Because of the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona next month we expect that many newsletter readers will be wanting to purchase cars to take to the big show. Many of our listings will be disappearing with the impending auction coming up.To remind you why it is important to have a car inspected before you buy, here is an inspection report we recently completed on a 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger Convertible in Georgia. Evidently the person who ordered the inspection was aware that the car had been jury rigged together when it was first restored. The shop where it was being stored had gone through it and the potential buyer wanted us to sort it out for him. Had the problems been corrected? That is what the buyer wanted us to find out. Read the report. Did the buyer purchase the car or pass on it? What do you think?
LOW MILES CARS
Even by our standards these are some pretty incredible and pampered low miles cars. You can imagine how a 1922 Cadillac Type 61 Suburban 7-Passenger motorcar (pictured above left) might have very low miles. It was probably owned by a wealthy family and only chauffeur driven. Connors Motorcar Company (mentioned above) has it for sale and they tell us it has only 2,700 miles. This 1995 Ferrari 456 GT (shown above right) came to Specialty Sales, a classic and exotic car specialty dealership in San Carlos, California as part of an estate sale and is currently offered at an unbelievable low price! The paint is called Blue Sera Metallic with a tan interior. They say this V12 Ferrari has just 7,714 miles on the engine which is a replacement motor. The car itself has even fewer miles on it they say. You'll find hundreds more amazing, pampered treasures in our Low Miles Section which is devoted solely to collector cars that have had loving care and light use.

PROJECT CARS
The Project Car Section is now the fourth most popular page on our website. Out of more than 200 categories of cars listed for sale on the Cars On Line.com website, the Project Car Section ranks No. 4 behind the Camaro Section, Plymouth Section and Dodge Section. One of the reasons this section is so popular is because we keep getting listings like the 1956 Chevy 210 Wagon (shown above left) from Decatur, Alabama. You can see much of the hard work has been done and it is said to be a 1-owner car and has #s matching. A 1947 Diamond T Truck (above center) was listed from Langdon, North Dakota and is described as a grain box dump truck. They say it has only 33k original miles and that it has always been stored inside. And a 1970 Pontiac GTO (above right) from Arlington, Texas is being offered for sale in the Project Car Section. The seller says all the hard work has been done.

PRICE CHANGES PAGE
If you want to spare yourself the effort to be the high bidder at the Barrett-Jackson Auction this year on a Hemi Superbird mentioned above, here is another 1970 PlymouthHemi Superbird which had been listed last month. This Hemi Orange Superbird is said to have the original 426 Hemi engine and Hemi Pisto Grip 4-speed with all numbers matching drivetrain and documentation. The original asking price on this Hemi Superbird when listed was $365,000. Now just in time to beat the pants off any Barrett-Jackson price the seller has lowered the asking price to $325,000, about half of what the white one above is expected to draw at the B-J next month.
Also see a 1953 Chevy Panel Delivery for sale from Oklahma City, Oklahoma. The original asking price when it was listed in November was $34,900. The seller just put a PRICE REDUCED tag on it with an asking price of $24,900.

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."Here is a 1973 Camaro Z/28 that looks so good in the photos that we had to make it our lead DEAL of the DAY this Christmas weekend. The seller from Mt. Vernon, Illinois has listed quite a few cars this week. This one he says is a frame off restoration
and a real Z. According to the description, the paint and body are better than new. They say the body panels and fitment are great. The ad states that it currently has a crate 350, 350 turbo automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes and stainless exhaust. He indicates that everything is new. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday because with a nice asking price ... $26,500. We think the second generation Camaros will be following the first generation cars and go up in value, so this makes sense as a "future collectible."
Everybody in our office is salivating over this Boxster being offered at this price. A
sports car enthusiast from Grayslake, Illinois just posted this 2001 Porsche Boxster with only 37k miles. The seller says it is in pristine condition, never been in snow or rain and upgraded with after market exhaust and stereo. He says it has a new top in the last two years and that the interior is excellent. It has new Michelin Pilot tires. And it will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday with an asking price of $15,750. Trust me. That's a great price.
This is the sleeper of the group this week. A 1970 Dodge Super Bee was listed from Battle Creek, Michigan, and it really looks good in the photos. It is true that the current
440 big block engine is NOM. The seller says it has been in heated storage for over 20 years. It has an automatic transmission. He says that the body is very straight with all its original panels, the floors rust free, the interior is very nice, tires/wheels are new. He describes the finish on this car to have been professionally done and show quality. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week. What Mopar fan would not want this beautiful car for $22,995?
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, this is not an original big block Dart, even though it has the big grabber hood. No, it is a sweet 1969 Dodge Dart GT that has been upgraded with a 440 ci big block. The
seller says it is a true Dart GT. He also indicates that the block and heads are date code correct for '69. He says it has been dyno'd at 425 hp on pump gas and has a new transmission, new converter and new driveshaft and 3.55 Sure Grip. The suspension and interior are "all new," according to the ad copy. The headers and exhaust system are by TTI. He says everything on the car is new or fresh. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week. The asking price is $23,000.
Although it was basically the Volare body style, a 1977 Plymouth Road Runner version was produced as a tribute to Mopar fans who wanted a Road Runner option in the Plymouth lineup for 1976-1977. The seller from Colorado Springs, Colorado says it is a
factory original, 1-owner car with matching numbers on a 360 ci V8 engine. It has factory T-tops with vinyl storage bags and an automatic transmission. The seller says it comes with an original order sheet, manufacturer's statement of origin and more documentation. This car may have some "future collectible" value since they only made 1,000 of them in 1977. It was the first model that made use of an on-board engine computer, the Lean Burn system with a 4-barrel electronic feed carburetor. It also had an interesting suspension that was more performance tuned. Because this particular Road Runner looks so good in the photos, it will be our DEAL of the DAY. The asking price is $14,000.
Trying to find a nice Chevy Monte Carlo from the muscle car era is an elusive task. That's why we thought it was cool that a 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo was just listed at a very affordable price. The car comes from Delaware and looks very nice in the photos.
Be sure to question the seller about the body. It looks pretty straight in the photos. Your job is to determine whether this car is as good as it looks. The seller says it has a 350 small block engine with mild cam and aluminum intake and dual exhaust. He says it has just 74,500 miles and comes with a build sheet and an owners manual. The options include power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, AM-FM and they say it is all original except for a few engine mods. Thkey say it runs and drives well. It will be our DEAL of the DAY. Are you ready for this? They only want $7,500.
A 1974 Corvette was posted from Palm Coast, Florida. Although the now paint is not original style, we think the price is very reasonable considering that the seller says the
interior is like new with tan leather seats. He says the car has cold air conditioning, power windows, mirror T-tops and he says even the clock works. The engine is a 350 small block Chevy V8 with automatic transmission. He says the brakes were done last year, and that it has new carpet and new tires. It will be our DEAL of the DAY and has some potential for a Corvette enthusiast who is looking for a driver class car. The asking price is only $10,995.
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:
1967 Dodge Dart 270 Oak Grove, MN $10,000
1972 Chevy C-10 Pickup Charlotte, NC $9,995
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."
1970 Chevelle Greene, IA $8,950
1997 Chevy Suburban 4X4 Grayslake, IL $7,900
2001 Oldsmobile Aurora Philadelphia, PA $10,995
