for info ...
Sometime in the future we're gonna' be lookin' back at 2009 and we'll be thinkin' "those were the good old days." The prices on collector cars today are so "right" you can almost buy anything you want for walkin' around money. That is one reason why so many collector cars are selling in this market.
As we were getting ready to publish this newsletter several times we had to make last minute changes ... we were having to delete SOLD cars before we could tell you about them here. See the SOLD Feature below. Cars that are selling are selling quickly. The momentum of this market is definitely picking up. All week the number of buyers shopping for cars was at all time highs. We noticed that '50s cars were selling. No surprise. Tri-Five Chevys are smokin hot.
If you want to take advantage of some of the incredible bargain prices in our DEAL of the DAY feature below you'll have to be quick. Grab the phone while you read this so you can be prepared to call. There are almost 2,000 people reading this letter right now just like you. Nearly three times that number will read this newsletter before it expires. Time is of the essence. With some muscle cars advertised in this newsletter for under $10,000 and street rods for under $20,000, you'll have to move fast.
CORVETTE OVERTAKES CAMARO
As we are looking over the early results of statistics we get monthly from the Google and Yahoo search engines, it looks like Corvettes are in higher demand right now than Camaros. For the past three years Camaros have been the most sought after collector cars among internet buyers. But during the last thirty days on Google there are more buyers searching for Corvette muscle cars than Camaros. Even the Pontiac GTO has passed up Camaro in Google searches. That is the first time we have seen GTOs so strongly in demand. Watch for a complete report on the top cars buyers are looking for. We will publish our results right here in next week's edition of the Cars On Line Daily Update newsletter.
THIS WEEK's TOP VIDEOS
You've heard us proclaim the merits of video advertising every week for the last year here in the newsletter. The classic car dealers who have begun to use the internet video technology in their advertising are seeing incredible results. Recently we've noticed that a lotmore private sellers are uploading videos with their ads as well. You'll want to check out this 1967 Plymouth GTX posted by a seller in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Watch the video and you'll get a chance to see a walk-around, as well as hear the 440 engine. The seller says the drivetrain has been rebuilt and driven less than 5,000 miles. He says the rest of the car has been cosmetically restored. It has a very high quality repaint of its original QQ1 Dark Red Poly paint with newer base coat/clear coat. In the ad copy you'll find that the seller promises to include a buildsheet, fendertag and a window sticker.
You'll see the '67 GTX on the front page of our website today. That's one way to get prime position on our website. All the seller had to do was give us a video of his car when he listed it with a regular Run Till Sold or SLIDE SHOW ad. With a paid ad on our website, we will run your video for no extra charge in the Car Tube video display on our front page. Just type the video link into your ad copy with your Run Till Sold or SLIDE SHOW ad. It is currently the best deal on the internet. (If you don't already have your video uploaded to an internet page, you can also upload the video to our Car Tube interface and we will host it for you.)Kumbera Motors, a broker from Illinois, has begun posting videos with their Cars On Line ads recently.
One of them is a real kick to watch. See the 1928 Ford Woody Sedan Delivery just posted by Kumbera. They bill it as a Surfers Rat Rod Woody. You'll see the video embedded in their ad layout. You'll also see it posted on our front page as one of our featured Car Tube videos. Click here to view the video on the old school 1928 Ford Woody Rat Rod. One of the things I noticed about the way this car is built ... it uses sculpted cutaway flames. The rest of the engine compartment is open. Neat idea. It has a 350 Chevy motor and is pretty nicely done for a Rat Rod. By the way, the asking price is only $21,500. Click here for a link to the entire inventory for Kumbera Motors.

Thisincredible rod was stretched 10 inches and set up on a full Air Ride suspension for that low, lean, look.

At that price we'll see some serious money taking a look at this gorgeous street rod. They tell us it has '36 Ford truck fenders, '33 Ford grille, and is equipped with all tinted real glass.

COLLECTOR CONVERTIBLES
Whether
you are talking muscle cars or classic cars from other eras,
convertibles are always considered the most important old cars
to collect. Newsletter readers know that we always highlight
the featured convertibles here. This week Classical Gas Motors
of Texas listed an elegant black 1962
Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
which is said to have been owned by American National Hockey
League player Brett Hull. In his NHL career Hull won two Stanley
Cups (with the Detroit Red Wings and the Dallas Stars.) His is
third all time in goals scored in the NHL with 741. His father
was all-time great Bobby Hull and Brett was raised in the Chicago
area. This car was featured at the Volo Auto Museum, north of
Chicago, and is now for sale at Classical Gas. 1962 was
the 60th anniversary year for Cadillac and they celebrated by
loading up the 
Eldorado with many upgrades that mark
the '62 Eldorado Biarritz as being innovative for that time.
Color keyed moldings were introduced, and so was the dual braking
system. Backup, turning and stop lights were all combined behind
one lens. This was also the year that a new frame and suspension
was introduced to improve handling. Classical Gas tells
us that 1,450 of these models were built while only 100 are known
to exist today.

Where do you begin? There are so many incredible muscle car recreations this week. For example, see the SLIDE SHOW ad on a 1969 C.O.P.O. Camaro tribute (shown above right) car that was listed out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The seller says it has an accurate and detailed 427/425 hp big block just as it would have come from the factory in '69. It is the result of a nut and bolt restoration which was completed in 2009. He says there are only 121 miles on the car. Streetside Classics from Charlotte, North Carolina have just listed a 1969 Ford Fairlane Cobra 429 look-a-like (shown above center) that has a sweet paint job. They say the motor is upgraded so it will out run a Torino Cobra hands down. And the beautiful 1971 Buick GSX tribute (shown above left) from Rogers, Minnesota has a 455 big block set up as a Stage 1. This car is worth way more than the asking price of $19,500.

DEAL OF THE DAY
It is a sign of the times. Prices continue to drop on some very nice collector cars. Newsletter readers know that we feature the best ones 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 best deals among the fresh ads on our website. Then during the coming 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."When we talk about street rods we use the term "starter car" to describe the kind of hot rod that has been restored but has only minimal equipment to modernize the ride.
These cars are usually at the low end of the price scale. Here is a 1938 Chevy Coupe from Waukesha, Wisconsin that we think is much more than a starter car, but still has a starter car price. Because it is a Chevy it is already rare, because there are far more Ford street rods out there than Chevys. This one has a 350 small block Chevy engine, Turbo 400 tranny and the seller says it has a new Mustang II front suspension, posi rear end and popular Laker shifter. It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Saturday, because the asking price is only $18,000. Hurry! And I mean, H-u-r-r-r-r-r-r-y!
For the second week in a row there is a classic T-Bird for under $30,000! Way under. A seller from Jefferson City, Missouri posted his black 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible which he says has only 49k miles. He says in the ad that
the body still has its original paint, so it's showing a lot of scrapes, dings, dents and scratches, plus the rocker panels and bottom of the quarter panels are also rusty. He says there are a number of updates, including new brakes, brake cylinders, shoes, rear lines, rear hose and master cylinder. Although it looks okay in the photos we doubt that it is any better than a driver class car. But it will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday, because the asking price is just $19,500.
Wow! This is just the neatest opportunity. Here is a 1957 Ford Ranchero that was listed for sale out of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The seller is not trying to over sell this
little truck. I would guess it is not more than an average No. 3 condition car at best. And he definitely does not say it has been restored. This first year Ranchero is said to have a 289 V8 engine that was dated in the 1960's and an automatic transmission. The seller says it has excellent chrome and solid floors. You can see in the photos that it has been fitted with a tonneau cover. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week. I hope you're sitting down when you read this price ... it's only $6,500 !!
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
Mopar enthusiasts are gonna' git a little excited about this 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 from Portland, Oregon. The seller says this is a legitimate muscle car at a very
affordable price. He says it has a 360 ci engine with a 4-barrel, automatic transmission, bucket seats and a console with gauges. Most important, the seller says it runs great, and is very original. This car will be our DEAL of the DAY later next week. The asking price is only $6,500. Man, I still can't believe it. This is a desirable muscle car for walkin' around money. As always, don't forget to inspect it before you buy.
Here's another wonderful opportunity to own a muscle car that won't cost you that much. A Virginia collector put up this 1972 Chevy Nova SS for sale. He says it is a
fairly fresh restoration and if you look at the photos you will have to admit it looks awfully nice. He describes it as a super straight body with Nassau blue base clear paint. He says it has all new black bucket seat interior, strong 355 pump gas small block, TH350 tranny with 2800 converter and 3.73 posi rear. "Just about every piece of chrome is new as well," he says in the ad. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week because this is a lot of car for the money ... only asking $12,500. Actually he says he has more than that invested in it just recently.
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
Don't misunderstand ... we are not talking concourse quality here, but this 1979 Ford F350 Custom presents an opportunity to have a turnkey mudder that you can really
have some fun with. The seller even says he thinks you could turn it into a show truck if that's what you want. He says the truck was just finished and has no miles. You'll have to call to find out what that means. He does not say it was a restoration. He says it has a big 466 .030 V8 engine built with Arias racing pistons, Super Cobra Jet heads, 610 lift Crane cam, Holley double pumper, molly rods, roller rockers and more. He says it is all Ford steel with no putty and no rust. It will be our DEAL of the DAY next week with an asking price of $10,500.
Look at what a sweet car this is ... from Marston, Missouri comes a 1967 Chevy Nova that really looks outstanding in these photos. The seller says he's looking for a
quick sale. The car is said to have a 383 stroker motor, 350 transmission and all new original looking interior. He says the new paint still needs to be color sanded and buffed. He says it has new tires, nice American Racing wheels, a new exhaust and new 650 cfm Demon carburetor. What do you think this car would appraise out for? ... as our DEAL of the DAY next week they are asking only $14,000. Hurry!
