The big event we will be watching this week is a live online auction that we are involved with in San Antonio, Texas tomorrow. You'll be able to view the ICA Auction online if you are registered to bid. See more on this below.

What you don't want to miss in today's Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter is the DEAL of the DAY feature below. We have so many great cars to show you that we may have to run two deals for every day next week.

CALLAWAY SUPER CAR
Don't get this Callaway mad! Road & Track said the 2009 Callaway Corvette is a "...highly individualized, sharp handling, meticulously outfitted supercar, one that tops out at a claimed 200 mph in anger, but will still return 28 mpg when driven gently." The London Times wrote of the Callaway Corvette, "The straight line performance goes from quick to warp ..." and called its LeMans brake system "neck snapping." Yes, this 2009 Callaway Corvette Convertible is deemed to be a world class supercar by the automotive press. That's why the seller from Archbald, Pennsylvania put together a multi-photo SLIDE SHOW ad on this incredible supercharged 580 horsepower phenom. It's one SLIDE SHOW ad you don't want to miss.

Among the things that make it a Callaway are: the Callaway short-throw shifter, Callaway/Eibach Multi-Pro suspension system, Callaway Lemans 6-piston brake package, Callaway/Dymag C-Mg wheel and tire package, Callaway supercharger, Honker high-flow intake system, Callaway C-16 hood with emblems, Callaway Double-D exhaust, and so much more. This one has the 3LT package, and the seller says only 1k miles. You'll see more incredible late models in the Corvette Section online. For a brochure on the 2009 Callaway Corvette click this link to a .pdf file. (In order to view the brochure you will have to have Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your computer.)


CELEBRITY CARS
When you visit our Celebrity Car Section you never know what new treasures you may find. For the discrete collector there is a 1936 Pierce Arrow Model 1602 Sedan now featured there which once belonged to Harold Lloyd, the famous silent movie star. The Model 1602 is a four-door limo sized vehicle with 144-inch wheelbase and the big V-12 engine. This car has a 3-speed transmission which they describe as "free wheeling" and features overdrive. They say only 135 of these were made in 1936. The color is Midnight blue with a grey interior. You will find a few more Pierce Arrow cars listed under "Other" which we sometimes call our Independents Section. That is where you'll find "orphan cars."

Another top car available in our Celebrity Car Section this week is a 1986 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible which was purchased new by Hollywood movie star and celebrity, Dean Martin. This particular car is listed by The Auto Collections in Las Vegas. Martin loved this car and still owned it when he passed away in 1995. They say it still has only 19k original miles.

Then during the coming week readers will see these cars on our home page in the DEAL of the DAY graphic that looks like a "rear view mirror." Usually we featured one outstanding "deal" each day. But this coming week we will be featuring two cars each day in the DEAL of the DAY. Here's why:

Saturday morning we'll have a 1967 Chevelle SS 396 on our front page in the DEAL of the DAY rear view mirror. The seller from Kosciusko, Mississippi tells us that it is a real 138 Super Sport with the desirable 350 horsepower 396 ci big block engine. He says it has had the same owner for the past 30 years, and that it comes with a Protecto plate , 4-speed transmission, factory air conditioning, tilt wheel, power steering, 12-bolt rear end, buckets, console, gauges and seat belts. From the photo you can see that it is Marina blue with a black interior and black top. He says the paint is four years old. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on because the price is only $29,000.

Then later in the day you'll also see a 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo featured in the DEAL of the DAY mirror from Antioch, Illinois. The asking price is $12,500.

A collector from Austin, Minnesota has placed an ad for a 1949 Willys 1/2-Ton 4X4 Pickup truck. Almost anything with the Willys name on it is very desirable in the collector car market. The seller says it is restored, and has a 6 cylinder motor. From 1947 till 1965, Willys-Overland produced a four-wheel drive pickup truck. They shared the look and the frame of the early Jeep Wagons. Willys-Overland Co was merged under the Kaiser Industries corporation in 1963. This historic truck will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday morning. The asking price is $12,500.

Late Sunday afternoon we will change the DEAL of the DAY mirror graphic to show a 1969 Ford Galaxie Convertible from Collierville, Tennessee. The asking price on this custom lowered convertible will be $8,900.

Although Buick's muscle car days were already behind them, in 1974 they were still producing the last of their big block muscle cars. A Minnesota collector posted this 1974 Buick Gran Sport 455 for sale. We have to assume from the price that this is a driver quality car. But the seller says that this car is documented by the Sloan Museum to be one of the 438 GS 455's produced in '74. And they say it has only 42,000 original miles. Only seven such cars were produced with the Luxus interior. Although you should have it inspected to make sure it is right for you, you might want to move fast on this one. It will make it our DEAL of the DAY on Monday ... because the asking price is only $9,000!! Hurry!!

Sharing the DEAL of the DAY spotlight on Monday will be a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible which the Peachtree City, Georgia seller says is all original and numbers matching. That alone should motiviate you. These convertibles are hard to come by. But the selling price is $15,500. That's quite a find.

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. See the Cars On Line Inspection Service at http://www.cars-on-line.com/insp-1stpg.html

If you are looking for a hot muscle car clone that will blow your friends away, here is a 1968 Dodge Hemi Dart GT from Fairborn, Ohio. The seller says he started this project out with a rust-free California car. You can see the fiberglass hemi hood, and he had the rear wheel openings professionally enlarged with a factory LO23 template. Extensive work has been done to the suspension and chassis. However it still has the original 273 V8. Unfortunately he says he ran out of money. This is your opportunity to finish a high dollar potential recreation. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $15,000. A great opportunity.

Similarly a private seller from West Middlesex, Pennsylvania has listed a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger. He says it was a California car now has a '69 340 engine and rebuilt 727 automatic transmission with Hemi quality parts. The asking price is $14,000.

A nicely preserved relic of the workaday world back in the day is represented by this 1966 GMC Suburban Carryall which was just posted for sale from Martinez, California. The seller indicates that it was restored in 2001 and it really looks good in the photos. The description says there are 10,300 miles on it since the restoration work. It has a GM crate 454 HO motor and Turbo 400 automatic transmission. He says it was completely re-wired and has VDO gauges, power disc brakes, new suspension, Posi traction 12-bolt rear end and new rear tires with all new Mickey Thompson Classic wheels. He says the original seats were reupholstered. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $15,500. This is a lotta' truck for the money.

Later that day we will be featuring a 1963 Chevy II Nova SS in the DEAL of the DAY from Bedford, Virginia. One of our regular advertisers who is a real Chevrolet expert is offering this car for sale. He says it is a real SS with factory gauges, 350 engine, 700R transmission, Heidts front end, front disc brakes and air conditioning. He describes it as a very straight car with solid floor and trunk pan. He says it has power steering, power brakes and aluminum radiator, and tells us that it runs and drives great. You should check it out for yourself. But hurry. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $12,800. For those you who ask "where are all the Chevy Novas for under $20,000" here is your answer.

I don't know when I have seen so many affordably priced Mopars. Here is another one that probably fits in the "future collectible" category. A 1974 Plymouth Road Runner has been listed out of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. This is one of those cars that we will tell you "you have to hurry on this one." The seller says it has the High Performance 360 engine with 4-barrel Holley carburetor, 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission, dual exhaust and an 8 3/4 rear end with Sure Grip and 3.55 gears. The springs were cut to give it that "cool" stance. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because the asking price is only $7,500. This one might not last the weekend.

That same day you'll also see a
1981 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Pro Touring custom station wagon featured in the DEAL of the DAY. The custom ride from Show Low, Arizona will sell quickly because the asking price is only $5,000. 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. Click here to link to the Cars On Line Inspection Service page.

Yet another great Mopar offering ... a 1970 Plymouth Duster would appear to be for sale at a great discount to prices we would expect for such cars. It is from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and now has a big block 383 where the small block 340 used to reside. They advertise it as if it could be a daily driver. The new parts include: a front end, shocks, tires and steering gear. The car has been mini-tubbed and it uses 3.55 gears. If this is your daily driver you're gonna turn some heads. You have to admit it takes a good picture. But the best part is the price. It will be our DEAL of the DAY because the seller is asking only $10,500.

Then later in the day you'll see this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible in the DEAL of the DAY mirror. The seller is from Fruita, Colorado. He is only asking $11,500. Just look at the pictures. This is a lotta' car.
