There are websites around that might help. Can't say which ones, but my sense is that most are make-specific. I had a couple of problems with my 2000 Durango recently. My shift-linkage to the transfer case broke while I was trying to put it back into 2WD from 4WD - I was in the middle of nowhere in North Carolina, comin' off a gravel road, about 500M from Memphis. Fortunately, since 4WD was engaged, I could "go", but since it's 4WD-Lock, I had to carefully plan my turns when off the interstate to get gas. I had my mechanics fix that one. Then, possibly related (based on my reading), I had a bad drive-shaft output speed sensor. It was intermittent, but from a couple of websites, I found symptoms that agreed with the codes on my carchip OBD2 computer. That one I fixed myself.
The point is that these sites had info about which powerplants, tranny's, rear-ends, etc, went in which year's vehicles, so there are surely sources for more "superficial" information. Now, I once owned a '67 Dodge Dart GTS, convertible, red, black interior, 318ci V8, factory air, one owner (no kiddin'), and this ride was one sweet piece of Detroit steel. It was a "Miss Jane" class of vehicle; "Miss Jane" was the character in "The Beverly Hillbillies", who always drove a Chrysler convertible, back in the day when a ragtop was really a ragtop. Although startin' to show her years and my own neglectful ownership, I actually had a buddy in college borrow her for his first date with a girl who became a serious long-term relationship. She actually was impressed by the car. Man, a girl with serious aesthetic sensibilities! They didn't go the distance. But that car was so AWESOME, MAN, that even my non-car-appreciating wife occasionally says that she wishes we'd had the money to keep it and do a restoration. High praise, indeed.

Kinda' silly and patronizing, "Mad Men", Madison Avenue stuff, trying to catch the youth market. Still, other than the wheel-covers and the lovely young lady, it's the spittin' image of my "Doom Machine", as we lovingly called it ... my wheelcovers were nicer than those, with oval slots rather than those Cragar/Mickey Thomson lookalike fake-spokes.) Know this was no help, but couldn't help it ...

But in the middle of it all I/we worked on a little project and I am looking to see if anybody else has a database of cars? Year / Make / Model let's say from about 1960 forward. So far I had little time and with Bernard help I was able to start putting a pretty good list together. Then today I was thinking I might be doing something, somebody here has already done. It reminds me of the zip-code and/or holidays thing. I would rather help out on a list that somebody else has and help keep it updated. I have a list from 1960 - 2000 We are in the process of loading 2001 to 2009. Sincerely, Paul Dewey New Horizon Interlock Inc.
