Is it just me, or is eBay being a PITA to search for cars right now? I type in 1969 Corvette in Cars and Trucks for example, and it comes up with 0 found, and throws open to the whole of eBay! This sucks!

I hate it when type in a specific year and model and you get every generic/ universal part listed on eBay.

Tried it again. No go. This is weird! I wonder if it's because I'm in New Zealand? I hate how they've dropped wildcard searches too. I used to type 197* Corvette, and get all the 70's Vettes for sale.

Beware of those Ho Chi Minh sandals.
I bought a after mart replacement brake pedal for my 55 Chrysler and after replacement the first time that I stepped on it hard (to test it) it broke the step right off of the shaft that it was welded to.

Along the same lines....Type into JC Whitney (any) type of car....instead of APPLICABLE PARTS they download their whole damn warehouse on you.

Ebay is good for research...but the world would end before I'd even CONSIDER buying a car from them.

Their car search is so bad that I saved a URL that works for 1969 and just cut and paste it every time I want to check out the cars. Try this:

You are prolly searching the parts dept area. Plus, when looking for parts, enter [-fits] and that will pull up universal parts

I think the search works fine, I find too many cars I want to buy!
