While Kim Kardashian, the No. 1 rated celebrity today, has been recently photographed by paparazzi in her collection of exotic cars, it must be hard to choose which one she'll drive each day. She has been seen in a white Rolls-Royce Ghost, a black Rolls-Royce Ghost custom built by Platinum Motorsports, a Mercedes G Wagon, Ferrari 458 Italia and a flat black Lamborghini Aventador. Teen idol Justin Bieber has all of the above plus an Audi R8 with leopard-skin themed paint. World famous soccer star David Beckham drives a Porsche 997 Turbo, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, black Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead and Rolls-Royce Ghost, Bentley Continental Supersports, Bentley Mulsanne, Chevy Camaro, Cadillac Escalade and a Range Rover.

Rhianna reportedly bought Chris Brown a million-dollar 2009 Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Edition (shown above) for his 24th birthday.

World Championship boxer Floyd Mayweather just picked up a new Lamborghini Aventador for Christmas. In his garage are a Rolls-Royce Drophead, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ferrari 599, Ferrari 458 Italia, Mercedes SLS, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Murcielago and a Mercedes SLR.

We will be publishing our 2016 COL Market Trends Report in the final edition of the newsletter in two weeks. Having seen some of the preliminary numbers, we think the report will show that collector car prices continued to trend downward in the 4th fiscal quarter of 2016. (Click here to view the 3rd Quarter report published in October 2016.) But there is evidence that collectors should hold out hope for 2017.

Since the presidential election, what peope are calling "Trump-enomics" has put new life into the construction industry. U.S. Hombuilders' market sentiment increased in the past few weeks. They now see new home conctruction increasing. In addition, the energy sector of the economy is showing signs of new life as well. If oil production in this country is increased because of trans continental pipelines being approved, the frackers in North Dakota and Texas could start rehiring. And all the small businesses in that food chain will begin making money again. Just those two sectors could radically change the direction of the collector car market. You might say we need more Texas millionaires to jump start the number of players in the collector car market once again. There could be a chain reaction here.

It looks like what is setting up here is a classic Socialism vs Capitalism experiment. We may be able to conclude once and for all whether a growing private sector is more important than a growing public sector. We've had eight years of incentives to the public sector. Now we will observe what happens when government gives incentives to the private sector. This should be interesting.

So, what is selling today in the collector car market? Simple answer: Mopars, Trans Ams and classic '50s cars. Here is a 1956 Ford Sunliner just SOLD thru Cars On Line this week. "This is the second classic car I've sold on Cars On Line, and I will certainly do it again," Mark from Ridgefield, Connecticut wrote on his SOLD form. "This is the best way to sell a classic car!" Mark SOLD his 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner using our $45.00 Run Till Sold ad. He says his car was in No. 3 condition and in need of some TLC, but opining that it could be brought back to No. 2 condition. Mark knows why we always say: "You can advertise anywhere ... but you can sell on Cars On Line." Click this link to see what else SOLD this week on the Cars On Line website.

A few years ago Ford set out to build the Shelby of all Shelby sports racers. They named it the GT350R, the "R" designation harking back to the top classic first generation Shelby racer. And Ford meant it to be every bit as incredible as the first generation Shelby GT350R's were back in the day. Naturally aspirated just like the early R's, it comes muscle bound and track ready. A monster motor in a monster of a car.

This week, we were excited to see Classic Car Studio in St Louis, Missouri, post this incredible 2016 Shelby GT350R for sale with only 500 actual miles. Ford’s new 5.2L Voodoo motor raps out to a shrill 8,250 RPM. Sweet music to your ears. It whines a TR3160 Tremec 6-speed through the gears, while a 3.73 rear end launches the car out of the hole. The flat plane crank, all aluminum V8 is the most powerful naturally aspirated motor Ford has produced to date, whipping up a fierce 526 horsepower. Feel that excitement streaming up your spine just thinking about it.

One of the most mysterious muscle cars of all time is this 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX Convertible. There is not much written about these phenomenol performance cars from Oldsmobile. They were a "poor man's" Olds 442. But literature on these big block muscle cars is hard to find. We do know that this one is one of only 127 convertible versions ever built. It is being offered for sale from the private collection of Murray Oliphant of Columbia, South Carolina. He says it still has just 48k orignal miles. Well appointed, it comes with air conditioning, cruise control and "power everything." The 455 ci big block engine is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic topped with a Hurst shifter. Originally a North Carolina car, he says it has no rust issues and is in excellent show condition.

Originally intended for the Australian market, this 1994 Corvette ZR1 was converted to right hand drive but ended up staying in America. It remained in a collection ever since and has added just 3,800 miles to the odometer since new. With options, we're told the value when it left the factory exceeded $100,000! It remains virtually flawless and is for sale with Sovereign Auto Group of Flushing, Michigan.

The following are more recently listed Low Miles cars:

Here's a 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon that's good to go as it is according to the seller, but a dedicated restoration could do it wonders. These wagons are hugely popular and taking this one to the next level is a worthy project. It has semi-flat clear coat paint that looks like primer with added pin stripes. The seller tells us most of the hard work is done. It needs a steering box rebuild and some brake work. Take a closer look and see if it's for you! It's located in Oregon City, Oregon.

The following are just some of the cars available in the Project Car Section this week:

Collectors may want to give another look to this 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe from a private seller in Ormond Beach, Florida. It's said to be a numbers matching car with a frame off restoration that's armed with a 327/300 horsepower engine and 4-speed transmission. That motor is original, and comes balanced and blueprinted according to the ad. The price was once $110,000, but is now just $90,000. These are highly collectible models that market watchers are always on the lookout for, making it this week's PRICE REDUCED feature.
