PROJECT CAR SECTION
In the Project Car Section today there is an interesting 1953 Chevrolet Woody Wagon which was posted from Oceano, California. If you're "jones" is a California Beach Boys fantasy this onemight trip your trigger. It will be an intense restoration, but, from the description, the seller seems to indicate that this would be a car worth the effort. The way restored Woody's are appreciating in value, this would be the most cost effective way to get involved. The seller does not give us much in the way of a description. We know that he says it has 57k miles and he gives us a few photos of the interior. You may want to ask for more photos. If anyone is close to Oceano, and wants to go check it out please give us an update on this car.
Although it will require a full detailed restoration, here is a great project, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible from Pasco, Washington. The seller says so far the floor pans have been replaced. You do the rest. Carson Restorations in Minnesota just posted this 1969 Pontiac GTO project car. They say it is the perfect restoration candidate with PHS docs, although it does not have a drivetrain. Another interesting restoration is this 1966 Dodge Charger from Monrovia, California. They say it was an original Arizona car with no rust. The seller says there are only 32k original miles on the body.
Carson Restorations also has a 1960 Chevy El Camino which has been rebuilt already as a custom. It would take a little work to bring it to a full restoration. They say it is mostly done.
And there are so many more in today's New Listings. Or check the entire field of projects in the Project Car Section online.

What sets this 1937 Ford Cabriolet off is the elegant Mercedes black and silver paint. From the red ultra leather custom interior to the 350V8 ZZ4 that has been balanced, blueprinted and equipped with a polished BDS blower and 2 Holley 650 carburetors, this is a "done" car. |
 |
A rare 1934 Chevy 3-Window Coupe was offered for sale by a private collector from Waukesha, Wisconsin. They say the undercarriage is as nice as the exterior on this outlaw body and prostreet chassis. It has Mustang II front end, narrowed 9 inch ford rear end and Boyd Coddington wheels. |

 |
It is pretty unusual to see a Hot Rod Touring car, but this 1927 Ford Touring listed by Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is very nicely done. It has a metal body, special built frame, 350 Chevy bored .030 over with Dart Heads, big valves, roller rockers, high lift cam and two chrome Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors.

CLASSIC SPORT UTILITIES ...

Here is a rare one you won't bump into very often. In the Sport Utility world there is no more respected vehicle than this 1969 Land Rover Series IIA.

This restored Land Rover is offered for sale by Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis, Missouri. |

A 1963 Willys Utility Wagon from Bohemia, New York looks like it is in pretty nice condition.

DEAL OF THE DAY
Here in the Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter readers get to preview the cars that will be in our DEAL of the DAY feature for the coming week. These are the cars that the Cars On Line staff judges to be the best deals on our website. If you are not a newsletter reader you'd have to wait till next week to see all these bargains. However newsletter readers get to preview them here first.Even though Chevrolet produced almost as many cars in 1935 as did Ford Motor Company, fewer of the Chevrolet model cars exist today. That makes this 1935 Chevrolet 5-Window Coupe more rare than its Ford
counterpart. It is said by its seller to be in all original condition and he says it runs "like a top, fun to drive." In his opinion there is no rust and it is in good condition. The ad says there are 55k original miles, that the body is near perfect, and that the interior is in good shape. Remember, these cars had the Blue Flame 6 cylinder engine in those days. You'll notice from the photos that the car has suicide doors. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday. The asking price has been set at $13,750.
A 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback just posted for sale from Janesville, Wisconsin. Shortly after the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" became a hit, the
fastback body got hot. And a regular Mustang Fastback became the poor man's Shelby. This one is said to be a nice driver. It's up to you to determine if it is a No. 3 condition car or better. It was just a little over a year ago when a nice No. 3 condition fastback was worth $26,000 or more. The seller says this one runs and drives great, and he says it has the numbers matching engine. It is a 4-speed which is very desirable, and it has styled steel wheels. It looks good in the photos, but be sure to inspect the car before you buy it. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of just $17,900.
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 page at http://www.cars-on-line.com/insp-1stpg.html
Another car which is said to be a quality driver is a 1973 Dodge Challenger Sport model that has been listed for sale by a private collector from Mt. Vernon, Illinois. This could be a diamond in the rough because the seller says that the 340 engine in this car is supposed to be original. It
has a 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed transmission. He says the car has new seat covers, new headliner, and says the floor pans are solid. There is rust in the trunk, and he says it could use a 2nd gear synchro and clutch adjustment. He says the engine runs great. But it will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because he's only asking $18,500. Newsletter readers know that we think these early '70s Mopars are a great investment and that they have not reached their peak values. When you can pick them up this cheap there is some room for appreciation.
The value in a custom car has more to do with the way it has been restored than in the value that the original car would have had. But when it comes to Tri Five Chevy's they bring their own value to the equation. These are cars that everybody loves. Here is a 1955 Chevy 210 from Midland, Texas that is a lot of car for the money any way you look at it. The 2-Door
Sedan has been tubbed, backhalved with ladder bars and coilovers and has a narrowed Posi rear end with 4.11 gears. The 350 small block is said to have low miles on it, as does the 700R4 transmission, double hump heads, gear drive timing, solid cam, roller rockers, aluminum radiator, Mallory Unilite, MSD box and 750 double pumper. It has Hoosier tires on 15-inch wheels. And, yes, there is a fuel cell in the trunk. The seller says the car needs some TLC, as the paint needs to be redone and the bumpers need to be rechromed, etc. But he says it has never been raced and is street legal, and tagged in Texas. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on the front page of the Cars On Line website next week. This is a lotta' car for $19,000, don't ya' think?
When you talk about street rods like '32 and '34 Ford coupes, you kind of divide them into categories such as "starter cars" and "done cars." It kinda' gives you a way to put a value on a street rod. "Starter cars" usually have
basic equipment and "done cars" have the high end equipment. Here is a 1934 Ford 3-Window Coupe from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin that is a lot of street rod for the price. In fact, this is more of a done car than a starter car. It has a 3" chopped fiberglass body, new Heidts independent front suspension, Vintage air conditioning and heat, Lokar shifter, Walker radiator, VDO gauges, an 8-bolt Ford rear end, rear leaf by Heidts, seat belts and power windows. I'd describe this as a "done" car with a "starter car" price. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with a price of just $30,900.
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 page at http://www.cars-on-line.com/insp-1stpg.html
A lot of the low priced cars seem to be coming from Wisconsin this week. Here is a 1950 Ford Custom 2-Dr Sedan from a city called Mukwanago. Custom is what they called these cars from the factory ... it is actually more
original. They say it is a very solid Missouri car painted dark metallic blue with grey interior. The seller says the dash is stock original and very clean. It still has a stock 239 cubic inch flathead V8 with 3-speed transmission. They say there are about 67k miles on the engine. The car is said to be complete with a 6-volt positive ground system and updated AM/FM radio. Skirts and a Fenton sunvisor go with the car. This one will be our DEAL of the DAY with an asking price of just $10,500. Now this is an affordable way to get into this hobby.
If you are into fine sports cars, here is a 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera that was just listed from San Louis Obispo, California. What I like about this car is that it was a local car all its life, and has always been well cared
for. That means a lot. The lowered stance and wide wheels make the car look better than its stock appearance. It has a 6 cylinder, 3.2 liter motor with a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller says it has always been cared for by the same mechanic who loves the car. The seller has detailed history on its maintenance. Updates include a lowered stance, shift kit and a performance chip. You may find this car to be a very interesting offering. The asking price is $15,500.
Top Notch Vehicles out of Jefferson, Wisconsin has listed a muscle car which you have to consider. Here is a 1968 Mercury Cyclone with the a
big block engine and an automatic transmission. They say there are only 47,807 miles showing. It has a 390 ci V8, 2-barrel carburetor, automatic, B+M ratchet shifter (although it was originally a column shift), bucket seats, new carpeting and black metallic paint. It has dual pipes out the back, hood scoop up front, and the directional indicators in the scoop actually work, according to the ad copy. Don't fail to check this one out, because the asking price is only $12,995.
Here are some of the cars that just missed making the DEAL of the DAY feature this week. Although you will not see them in the DEAL of the DAY feature on our front page, they are still very significant cars at a discount to current market prices.

SOLD THRU CARS ON LINE
Here are some of the comments from happy sellers who were nice enough to tell us about their experience advertising on the Cars On Line website.JUST WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP!
"Just when I was going to give up, you came thru!" said a collector from Old Saybrook, Connecticut when he SOLD his 1923 Ford T-Bucket through a Cars On Line photo ad."I have sold all of my antique vehicles on your site, and could not have done that without all your help. I am sincerely grateful. You are the best. Thank you Cars On Line!" said a collector from Taylorsville, North Carolina when she SOLD her 1959 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible through a Cars On Line photo ad.
A collector from Helena, Arkansas SOLD his 1986 Chevy Silverado. "Number 30, thanks again." What he is refering to is the number of cars he has SOLD through Cars On Line photo ads so far for 2008. I believe this is his best year ever. Not bad for a retired hobbyist.
A collector from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia SOLD his 1964 Chevy Impala SS. "I am very pleased, we even got our asking price."
A collector from Phoenix, Arizona SOLD his 1972 Chevy Malibu. "Very good service. Will use again."
