Did you ever notice the smiles your old car brings to the people who attend car shows? You never know who's life you're gonna' enrich by showing off your car ... maybe even your own.
GTOs AND FIREBIRDs ARE HOT
We like to keep newsletter readers up to date on what the current trends are in the collector car market. Our newsletter readers know that Camaros are the most popular muscle cars and the ones most sought after. That has not changed. But we've noticed recently that Pontiac GTOs, Pontiac Firebirds and Ford Torinos have advanced among our Top Ten of most sought after cars. The Ford Torinos have cracked the Top Ten for the first time this year. Below is the chart of what was hot in the collector car market in June, according to Google and Yahoo search engine statistics. The chart shows what percentage of buyers are looking for specific makes and models of collector cars.
Top Ten Most Popular Cars Muscle Cars Classic Cars Rank Car % of hits Car % of hits 1 Camaro 21.0 % Studebaker 19.8 % 2 Corvette 12.8 % Chevrolet 15.6 % 3 Dodge Charger 9.8 % Packard 11.9 % 4 Pontiac GTO 6.3 % Ford 5.8 % 5 Pontiac Firebird 6.0 % Oldsmobile 5.5 % 6 Dodge Challenger 4.5 % Nash 4.6 % 7 Chevelle 4.2 % American Motors 2.9 % 8 Mercury Cougar 2.8 % Classic Lincoln 1.5 % 9 Shelby Mustang 2.6 % Classic Mercury 1.0 % 10 Ford Torino 2.6 % Cadillac 1.0 %
NEW CAR SALES DOWN IN JUNE
New car sales continued to drop to dismal levels in June 2009. The figures are just out and Passenger Car Sales are down 34 percent from June of 2008. One thing to note, however, is that import cars are doing worse than domestic American cars. Import car sales are down 36.6 percent from a year ago, while American domestic car sales are down 32.7 percent. Breaking it down by American automaker:
Chrysler is down 44 percent
GM is down 36 percent
Ford is down 13.6 percent
Foreign automaker Isuzu is getting creamed. It's sales are down 85 percent from last year. Toyota sales in the U.S. were down 37.9 percent, Honda down 33.5 percent and Nissan was down 33.4 percent. Of the German automakers, Volkswagen did the best in June. Their sales had only dropped 16 percent in North America. Autoline reports that 60 percent of Volkswagen's sales in June were diesel vehicles. The statistics noted here are from Wards Auto.com, the best source of auto industry news.

PROJECT CARS
1933 Ford 5-Window
Important find
1968 Pontiac Firebird
Getting as popular as Camaro
1935 Ford Pickup
Ready to finish as custom
Our Project Car Section continues to be one of the most popular destinations of buyers on our website. It is incredible to ponder how many project cars are being sold these days. I didn't know there were that many Americans with this kind of ambition. You mean they're not waiting for the government to do it? The 1933 Ford 5-Window Coupe (above left) is the most interesting. They say it is all steel with a rumble seat. A 1968 Pontiac Firebird (shown above center) from Altamont, Kansas is quite a find. The seller says he has the #s matching 400 ci V8 and #s matching Muncie 4-speed transmission, plus PHS docs and window sticker. The 1935 Ford Pickup (above right) is from Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. With a '40 Ford front end, it was probably intended to be an old school custom.And there's more:
1952 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Texas for old school custom
1934 Ford 2-Dr Sedan Bakersfield, CA orig steel
1937 Chevy 2-Dr Sedan Concord, CA hump back body
1953 Buick Super Palm Bay, FL needs restoration
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 LISTINGS
Our European readers will have the best shot at this one. A collector from Rengsjo,Sweden had listed his beautiful 1954 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible show car for sale on our website. He tells us that this is a frame-off restoration finished in 1999, and that the car is all original and runs like new. He was originally asking $89,000 in U.S. funds for the car. A couple days ago he contacted us and asked us to lower the price to $69,000. The last car that this collector sold through our website went to a European buyer. Unfortunately we do not currently have inspection service coverage in Sweden.
Be sure to check the Price Changes page daily or whevever you check the New Listings page. Both have "need to know" information for the smart buyer.

DEAL OF THE DAY
Another good selection cars exists here today in our DEAL of the DAY preview. In the DEAL of the DAY preview we give newsletter readers first chance at the best deals among the fresh ads on our website. Then during the week you'll see these cars featured on the home page of our website in the DEAL of the DAY graphic that looks like a "rear view mirror."I'm pretty excited about this DEAL of the DAY. This 1973 Camaro Z/28 is listed as a numbers matching car by the seller from Hudson, Florida. That includes a
numbers matching 350 motor, M-21 4-speed transmission, posi rear end. He says it is a true Z/28 and seems to be all original. He ads that is has a nice AM/FM radio with 8-track, clock and rear defogger. The car really looks good in the photos and is so reasonably priced that it will be our featured DEAL of the DAY on the homepage of Cars On Line.com on Saturday. The asking price is $15,000! Hu-r-r-r-r-ry!!! Hu-r-r-r-r-ry!!! Hu-r-r-r-r-ry!!!
'55 Chevy Bel Airs have a look all their own, but the stance of this 1955 Bel Air Hardtop from Nothern Illinois is enhanced by
some tweaks that make it a stunning classic custom. The chrome and paint really set this car off. The seller says it has front disc brakes with dual boosters, Hedman headers, Flowmasters, Chevy Rally wheels and a 355 Chevy 4-bolt motor with less than 1,000 miles on it. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday. You may not find another one like this for the price. He's only asking $15,400.
Ever notice how some things just start looking better to you the older they get? Twenty years ago I'd see and old Harley FLH
and I'd think "it's an old bike." Today you look at this 1975 Harley-Davidson FLH from Brooksville, Florida and you think, "That old bike is lookin' good." It has the classic stock look with a custom Fishtail exhaust, fresh white wall tires, and much more. The seller says it has new brakes, starter, battery, new gears, chain and clutch and nickel self-lubing chain. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week. Are you sitting down? ... the asking price is just $9,900!!!
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
The seller of this car from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada is up front about it needing some TLC. But it sure looks good in the photos, doesn't it. This one might be the
one to have inspected. It is a 1951 Hudson Pacemaker, an original 6-cylinder manual transmission car which he describes as a driver. He says it starts and runs everytime, and indicates that it is popular at local shows. He says it has a rebuilt motor, clutch, brakes and more. The ad lists it as having 64,000 miles, and says it is very clean and has been stored inside during winters. This car will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because the asking price is only $9,999.
A 1967 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 has been listed by a collector from Garnerville, Nevada. This car looks like it is priced way below the average price for these cars. The seller
says it was completely restored in 2000, but the owner decided to swap out the original 400 for a 455 .030 with a W-30 cam. I'd say that makes it better, but not as original. He says the Turbo 400 transmission has less than 1,000 miles on it and that the rear end has been rebuilt. It has Sikkens base/clear paint. It sounds to me that this is a car you'd not want to pass up. Be sure to check it out. It looks so sharp in the photos that we will make it our DEAL of the DAY next week. The asking price is $13,950.
If you are a street rodder looking for a starter car you have to check out this 1932 Ford Roadster from Eagle, Wisconsin. This car is way more than a starter caralthough it is priced like a starter car. First of all it was pro built and has only 7k miles since the build. The seller says it has a 4" dropped I-Beam front axle w/disc brakes, Pete and Jakes coil over shocks, 350 Chevy small block w/ 350 transmission, 8" Ford rear end, Walker radiator, Mallory Unilite distributor, tilt wheel w/ Banjo steering wheel and a chrome engine dress-up kit. I think you'll have to agree ... this is a lotta car for the money. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $28,000.
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 page at http://www.cars-on-line.com/insp-1stpg.html
When I saw this listing I thought of a person I just met at a show this weekend who said he was looking for one of these. I hope he's reading the newsletter today.
Although it looks like it is still in primer, the 1951 Studebaker Pickup truck offered for sale from Hiwasse, Arkansas is such a solid looking truck that we were surprised it was being offered at this price. It is a mild custom truck. It has a Volare front-end, 9-inch Ford rear, 350 Chevy small block, 350 turbo transmission, heat and air conditioning, plus tilt steering wheel. It might be one of those diamonds in the rough, but you should be careful and have it inspected before you buy. Having said that, it will be our DEAL of the DAY because the asking price is just $7,995. That price will only get you a full out project in some parts of the world.
There really were so many more cars that deserved to be included in this week's DEAL of the DAY feature. 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:
