As we try to get this bitter winter weather out of our system, it dawns on us that Spring has Sprung. A reminder of that is the Daytona Turkey Run car show this weekend. Get down to Daytona, Florida to enjoy the nice weather and all the cars on display at the Daytona Speedway. It is a rite of Spring to attend this show. The 30th Annual Daytona Turkey Run will be held this weekend, March 22-24, 2019. Lots of good food, music, hot rods and classic cars as far as you can see. It is the Spring edition of the Daytona Turkey Run where they allow registred cars to run on the track at the Daytona Speedway. What a thrill.

With the car show season starting up across the country you'll want to break that "cabin fever" by planning your car show weekends. Be sure to check the Cars-On-Line.com Car Show Calendar to find your favorite local shows.

We had a great call from the owner of one of the premier street rods for sale on our website yesterday. Richard from Bayfield, Colorado called us to tell us he had SOLD his 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe. Newsletter readers will remember that this was the car NASCAR Champion Rusty Wallace had built for himself which was patterned after Billy Gilbert's famous ZZ Top 3-Window Coupe from the video. Not only was the car built by some of the members of the Penske team, the engine was built by Robert Yates, a legendary race engine builder. "Delivered it this morning to a great collector in Arizona," Richard told us.

Richard had called our office last month to pick our brains on how he might find a buyer for his street rod. He needed a way to make it stand out. We told him to send us a video of the car and we would embed it in his ad. "That video really sold the car," he told us. "I can't thank you enough for telling us about using a video in our ad." We just put the video in his ad last week. He said the buyer showed up almost immediately.

Now Richard knows why we always say, "You can advertise anywhere ... But you can sell on Cars-On-Line.com." Follow this link to the SOLD section below where you will see all of the private sellers who SOLD their cars through COL this week. When you see how effective a Cars-On-Line ad can be, you may want to advertise your car with Cars-On-Line.com. Click here to start your ad now.

A Florida hot rodder spent seven years building his brainchild, a 1984 Chevy El Camino which he cloned into a 1987 Buick Grand National. Should we call it a 1987 Grand National El Camino? Using the best materials and the best techniques, this professional builder painstakingly crafted his show quality conversion. He says there is $95,000 invested in parts and materials alone, not counting labor. It was completed in 2004 and has won many awards since then. Subsequently it has been featured in GM High Tech Performance magazine in April of 2006, and was also featured in the GS Xtra and an El Camino calendar. It is truly a one-of-a-kind. Interestingly, it has a 4.1 Liter Stage II motor from Buick. Only about 50 were ever produced. The seller says everything about the build is well done. He is selling it on Cars-On-Line this week.

Cadillac collectors seem to all cherish the offerings of their favorite automotive manufacturer from 1941. It was a seminole year in Cadillac's history. This highly desirable 1941 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan comes with a new interior and wood trim, according to the descriiption in the Carlisle Auctions literature. Of course, it has a V8 engine and comes with a manual transmission (three-on-a-tree.) It is interesting because it is an older restoration and still presents well. You will notice that seat belts have been added for safety. This car is, after all, driven.

It is among the last of the V-12 Ferrari's and therefore is becoming more collectible everyday. In Rossa Corsa red, this 1985 Ferrari Testarossa is a very special edition Testarossa. It is one with the Flying Mirror. Collectors are very fond of these limited edition models. It comes with the 4.9 Liter V-12 engine, a 4-speed manua transmission and is said to have just 44k original miles. These Testarossas are continuing to appreciate in value.

When Chevrolet gave in to their biggest fans and brought back the Impala in the 1990's their fan base was so grateful they put the reincarnated Impala on a pedestal for years.

This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Convertible tribute is said to have a real 1970 455 big block motor built to W-30 spec with a W-30 intake, exhaust manifolds, F heads, and a 3.23 rear end with W-27 cover.

The private seller from Pottstown, Pennsylvania says it is a great driving car with no issues. The paint is older (done 12 years ago) so the car has a few small scratches and chips but the seller says it still shows well. It is the star car among the fresh muscle car clone listings this week.

When the Mercury Marauder Fastback came unto the NASCAR racing scene in 1963 it represented a game change in the racing world. Parnelli Jones won three races that year in a Marauder Fastback. By the time this 1964 Mercury Marauder Fastback came out a year later Mercury was already getting more respect from the younger new car buyer. A private seller from West Chester, Pennsylvania says the car just turned 70,000 miles. It has the 390 engine, Edelbrock aluminum heads with rare Ford cast iron headers, Holley 500 cfm 2-barrel carb, electronic ignition, and automatic transmission.

It will be our DEAL of the DAY on Sunday because the asking price is only $18,000.

Collectors are beginning to give more respect to early Mustang Mach 1 muscle cars produced by Ford. The 1969 and 1970 editions are very much in play for collectors. They may be the next collectible muscle cars to go up in value. So here is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 from a collector in Supply, North Carolina. It looks to be a driver quality car from the photos. He describes it as being an older restoration which "drives and runs well."

One of the hot trends in the collector car market continues to be the classic Off-Road type sport utility vehicles coming out of the 1970's and 1980's. While classic Broncos, Blazers, Jeeps, Toyota Landcruisers and International Scouts are at the cusp of this market, there are a number of interesting vehciles that enter into this class also. Here is one of them. A 1973 International Travelall 1210 being offered for sale by 4-Wheel Classics in Holland, Michigan. This "beast" has 4.10 gears front and rear. There is no telling how many great fishing trips this one has seen. They say it is a real nice family off-roader with a nice solid body and transfer case. It is our DEAL of the DAY early next week with an affordable asking price. Would you pay $15,900 for this much fun?

Well, it has finally happened. The retro Ford Mustang premium model cars are now going through "used car devaluation." You should be able to pick up some of these great sports cars for cheap going forward. Evidence this 2007 Ford Mustang GT Convertible offered by a private seller from New Bedford, Massachusetts today. He says it has 82k miles, and has been so carefully maintained that it has never seen a winter season, always garaged and has had no modifications done to it. The color is the desirable Grabber orange with a dark charcoal leather interior. It comes with power seat, air conditioning power windows and a new top motor. He says it also has all the owners manuals, and a window sticker. Haven't seen one this cheap yet, though. Asking price is $14,900.

Cars-On-Line.com newsletter readers will remember Classic Car Liquidators, the classic car dealership in Sherman, Texas which has a track record of offering some great collector values for cheap. Here is another offering from Classic Car Liquidators this week. It is a 1961 Ford Thunderbird with custom flames and paint. Notice the fender skirts, American racing wheels and aftermarket radio system. We would consider this to be a mild custom with a 390 big block Ford motor and C6 Ford automatic transmission. But look at the photos. This one presents very clean. It is a great way to get into the collector hobby as a starter car. And it will be our DEAL of the DAY next week as the asking price is only $16,999.

Classic Corvettes are still a great investment for would-be classic car hobbyists. Here is a 1971 Corvette which probably needs a new paint job.

It is a numbers matching Corvette with a 350 ci, 270 hp motor, a solid frame, air conditioning and an automatic transmission. The car came from the factory in Mulsanne blue with a dark blue interior. Remeber, this is a "chrome bumper" Corvette which appeals to a certain type of Corvette investor. But you can buy it now for an entry level price. It will be our DEAL of the DAY late next week. They are asking $15,900.
