    Default "Registries" for special/limited production cars?

    I am considering putting some online for some of these cars (that have a "Special Interest/Limited Production Cars" subforum) that don't already have one, e.g. Turbo GT/Turbo RS, Black Magic/Crimson Cat, etc.. It would be started with the data that I have collected and entered into the database (VIN, factory paint/trim, factory options, known condition, etc.) I will not be putting real names/screen names, locations, or any other personally identifying information out there.

    If it goes well enough I would consider expanding to cars that already have a registry but either the registrar is keeping the data to themselves OR it is open to the general public but is not being executed very well.

    Thoughts? Input? Suggestions?

    Advice sure.

    This suggestion is from someone who has a compiled a list with information on almost 40% of all the Foxbody Saleen Mustangs ever built. All in less than 4 years.

    Do NOT expect many folks to participate in a registry and/or provide much information. If you are waiting on people to send/give you information you will be sadly disappointed!

    If you want to build a registry get your information from FOR SALE ads. Cruise Search Tempest, marque specific websites, car shows, Autotrader and other for sale options to get information on the cars you desire. Want more info on the car than is in the ad? Call the seller! Seller's are VERY GIVING with information when they are selling their cars. Want pictures? Copy the images from the for sale ads and start a photo album. In the 4+ years I have collected over 2000 Saleen pictures of the cars when they were for sale only 1 person has asked me to remove the their pictures of their car.

    Lot of work? You bet your A$$$. Rewarding? Depends upon you and your motivation for doing it.

    Ain't nothing but time and effort!

    That is what I have been doing. And by other means as well.

    I can make a static webpage with all of the data in a table. Not promising that it will look pretty. Maybe somebody else can make it look better? I can update the page(s) as more data comes in.

    Or is there a more robust method of data collection and search/display that we could employ, i.e. database/SQL, etc.?
