Why not just bookmark it?

I tried it today and found it OUTSTANDING!
Additional tweeks you may add is icing on the cake.
Thanks. Steve

PS: in my one search, I found a part that has eluded me for over a year. (thank You)

Re: Check out my New Vehicle/Parts Classifieds Search Site

Thanks for all of the positive comments!

Quick update: I've added Mitsubishi, Land Rover, Hyundai and Saab to the site. I've also added Kijiji.com as a classifieds source for cars and parts. Finally, I've added a 'Parts Car' section to the site that can be found in the 'Specialty' area of the site.

I tried that, but can't seem to get it to work. It saves the last search, but won't let you do any new ones. I might be doing something wrong, but on the other hand, I can't believe I am the only person interested in this search feature. So I see no reason why it can't be made a permanent sticky. No new members will get to see it if it is constantly buried 10 or more pages back.

Re: Check out my New Vehicle/Parts Classifieds Search Site

I haven't been here for a while, but finally figured out how to bookmark on my stupid computer. I still think this should be a sticky.

Can you change the Packard listing so that you can just look up "Packard" instead of always having to choose a model? I am looking for a '56 2 door, and there is no way to look up 400 or Executive. I would think it would be easier to just look at all 1956's rather than make seperate model searches for everything.

Thanks.

Re: Check out my New Vehicle/Parts Classifieds Search Site

Sticky! Sticky! Sticky! Make this post a Sticky...

LINC400, here is how content is created. I have a list of makes and models. Based on those makes and models, I comb the Internet for classifieds and auctions. That is why the pulldowns are set up the way they are. That said, if you can't find something, I would likely need to add a new 'model'.

As I am not that familiar with Packards, is the 'Executive' a model I should add?

Re: Check out my New Vehicle/Parts Classifieds Search Site

Yes, the Executive and the 400 are the two Packard 2 door hardtops for 1956. The current searches do not include them in the results, and I am not interested in 4 doors.

Thanks

Re: Check out my New Vehicle/Parts Classifieds Search Site

LINC400, I added the Executive. Give the site a couple of days to populate some results (if there are any).

gassaver1, there is a year range search. select any make and you'll see the year pulldowns.

for example, http://www.ownster.com/index.cfm?type=Car
