Taylormade Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 What the heck happened to eBay Motors? I used to go to Collector Cars and Pre 1939 and my search came right up. Now, no matter what I do, I get nothing but modern cars listed. Very frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Indeed. Go to Motors, Cars and Trucks, then scroll down and select the Model Year Show All. Tick the years of interest, Apply. Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Remember to add -fits to your parts searches, that cuts down about two thousand useless items that will add on. Bob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormade Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks to both replies. Yeah, I finally got it working by individually checking each desired year, but what a pain in the neck compared to two keystrokes as before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 You can also save the search, of course. But that requires you to log in to eBay to use it and they will track you (they do anyway if you don't use private browsing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Oh, they still sell cars on Ebay? So many said Reserve Not Met I thought they were just display pictures and quit looking. Maybe I will look again, later tonight if I have time, or tomorrow, or over the 4th if the weather gets bad. I bought one on Ebay in 2001, but it was different then.

auburnseeker Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The only cars that seem to sell on ebay are the ones I'm interested in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Go to eBay Motors and click on cars and trucks. Then click on "find vehicle". That will bring up every thing in that category. Then click on "oldest first". You can the scroll through the ads, staring with the oldest or you can skip pages until you get to the era that interests you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleetwood Meadow Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I bought my ‘52 Cadillac 75 on there last year. Traveled 10 hours each way to get it. I’d love to say that it worked perfectly for me but it’s not in my genes to have things go smoothly. If I could get it to shift I’d be driving it every day. When I did have the transmission working it went from 0-50 like a new car but much smoother. I competed with I think 3 bidders. My favorite cars are the ones that they sell on hemmings without pictures. Nobody seems to pursue them and when you reach out to the seller they are excited someone actually called them. I bought my ‘51 Meadowbrook that way. $800, only problem on the body was a hole in the floor pan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capngrog Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I used to be able to search for all cars between certain years. For example, I always searched for cars manufactured between 1930 and 1971. One can now search decade-by-decade, but not for a period of several decades. I have purchased two cars via ebay and have been very pleased with the results. I still own them. The aircraft for sale option has totally disappeared. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I go to "Motors"-"Cars & Trucks"- "Collector Cars"- "Antique & Vintage (pre-1925)" and get 75,826 results. Choosing "Oldest First" from the drop-down list, a Lotus Super Seven, a Shelby Cobra, and a Land Rover top the list. Of the 50 cars listed on that first page, 22 are hot rods.
