This 2021 Lamborghini Aventador LP 770-4 SVJ Roadster is currently being advertised by Reina International Auto in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The color is a rare Verde Ermes with black Alcantara leather. Factory installed options on this one include the Carbon Skin package, a hardtop in carbon fiber, bronze brake calipers and a MuFu steering wheel.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTS

Collectors are well aware that the high end of the market these days is in the coveted European sports cars from the 1960’s and early 1970’s, especially Ferraris. Every one you see at the big national auctions go for six figure numbers these days. Well here is a special listing from Gullwing Motor Cars in New York. They posted this Argento silver 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS this week. It is one of just 200 examples ever produced. It is a highly desirable GT car with Pininfarina body. This one was repainted recently and has rechromed Borrani wire wheels. Well documented, it comes with a Marcel Massini report, as well as factory books, past ownership documents and service receipts.At 33,424 miles, a major service was performed by the well known Continental AutoSports facility. This exotic sports car will soon be at home in a new collection.

1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet

In the 1930’s Edsel Ford wanted to design what was to become known as a “personal luxury car.” Not only was it to be the pinnacle of luxury and elegance, but was also to reflect the European automotive designs of that era which Edsel greatly admired. It was no accident that he would call it a Continental. Raymond Loewy, a legendary automotive designer, took over the design and by the end of World War iI Lincoln was ready to unveil a revised Continental. In 1946, 1947 and 1948 these cars were produced with a big V-12 luxury car engine. This week Reina International Auto in Brookfield, Wisconsin posted an art deco era 1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet for sale. Note the spare tire rides in its namesake ”Conntinental kit” over the rear chrome bumper.

1957 Scarab Replica

At one time sports car racing was dominated by European automakers. Lance Reventlow, the Woolworth department store heir, set out to change that. His team built a handful of race cars he called Scarabs. By 1958 the Scarabs were winning championships here in the U.S., especially in SCCA. This authentic looking 1957 Chevrolet Scarab is a recreation of those cars that Reventlow had built. It has a 383 stroker Chevy small block with a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission with electric lockout on reverse. With 9” Ford locker limited slip axle, rack & pinion steering and Corvette style rotors on all four corners, it rides on 16” Halibrand knock-off wheels. It is being offered for sale at Hanksters Hot Rods in Daytona Beach Florida this week. Can you imagine the reaction of fans at your local nostalgia races?

We’re getting excited to finish out the final event of the year at the Raleigh Classic Winter Auction next week. Cars-On-Line.com will be heading for the Youngsville, North Carolina for the Raleigh Classic, December 6-7, 2024, at the Capitol Auto Auction facility. Not only is it the last big auction of the year, it is one of the best for true vintage classics and great 1950’s cars. It has the reputation of being one of the best auctions to buy true low miles collector cars as well. Many of the top collector car dealers throughout the Southeastern states will be there. They say there will be over 300 choice vehicles in the sale. The Raleigh Classic takes pride in curating the best cars in the hobby for the two-day event. For example, here are a few we will be watching.

Ford Lightweight Galaxie

Here is a Ford muscle car with provenance and a known history. The 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Lightweight was born to race and is one of only 211 ever produced. They came out at mid-year 1963. This is one that was ordered by a private party seller outside the race teams that Ford was supporting. After all these years this car still has just over 16,000 actual miles on it. That red interior is the original interior this car came with. And, yes, it has the 425hp\480 lb-ft. 427ci V8, T-10 BorgWarner aluminum transmission, 4.11 open rear axle, NHRA-approved aluminum bell housing, Police Interceptor brakes, fiberglass hood, front fenders, decklid, and inner fender liners, aluminum front & rear bumpers and brackets, and the lightweight frame.

This is a 2006 Shelby GT-H, the special edition Hertz commemorative car to celebrate the 50^th Anniversary of the Shelby and Hertz Rental Car Company’s experiment with renting special edition sports cars.

This well-preserved example will cross the auction block at the Raleigh Classic Winter Auction on Saturday.

1937 Ford Business Coupe

James, a private party seller from Austin, TX, asked us what he could do to make his ad stand out more. We told him what we tell all our sellers. “Send us a video so we can feature it in your ad.” So that’s what he did. You might call James an “over achiever.” He did some spectacular video photography of his all-steel 1937 Ford Business Coupe with a ZZ4 350 small block engine. It is really nice, too, with Mustang II front and leather interior and trunk. Click the video window above to get a feel for what this custom creation is all about.

1980 Pontiac Trans Am

A private party seller from North Carolina listed his 1980 Pontiac Trans Am for sale a while back. The car is not original, but many might consider it to be better than original. He had installed a Pontiac remanufactured 1979 400 ci V8 with high performance 6x heads, plus a 700R4 transmission with a B&M Quicksilver shifter. It has Holley Sniper Fuel Injection and only 8,000 miles on the new components. He was asking $30,000 when he first listed the car. But just yesterday he dropped the price to $20,000.

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.

An Iowa collector listed his 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air with us just this week and never made it into the newsletter. That’s because he sold it right away before this newletter was published. He was so happy he notified us right away. “Great site to advertise your vehicle,” he told us, rating Cars-On-Line.com as one of the top selling venues for classic cars. We want to thank him for his contributions to the collector car hobby all these years. A job well done.

A Wisconsin seller sent us a letter to tell us he had SOLD his 2002 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning using a Cars-On-Line.com Slide Show ad. “Thank you very much for everything that Cars-On-Line.com did for me,” he wrote. He was a smart seller. He not only used the premium Slide Show ad to show off his vehicle, but he also had Cars-On-Line.com do an appraisal on it. It was in such nice shape that we linked the inspection report right into his ad. “The vehicle was owned by an Estate, so I was looking for a solution to effectively and efficiently sell the vehicle. Everything worked and functioned exactly as I was hoping for.”
