A site I've been using is the "jaXed mash."
www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi
It would combine eBay, craigslist and kijiji and seemed to be not too bad. Although the kijiji ads Dugal posts never seemed to show up there. Not sure why. But mostly I found it good for finding the craigslist ads for me for '74-'77 Monaco's and '74-'77 Fury's. They also have a police car category and a movie car category, and basically anything for sale you can think of. But last Friday, the 26th, Craigslist issued a cease and desist order to them to stop them from posting craigslist ads.
I find that to be kinda crazy for craigslist to do that, I mean there's lots of people on many different websites that post cars for sale. Why they want to make it harder for people to find their ads ... I dunno.
So there is this search engine for craigslist maybe some of you have used ...
craigslist.extads.com/
But I think an even better one is the 'Auto Tempest' where you can search for a specific car in a range of years in one shot ...

I always enter my zip as 90210 and it searches from west to east. It starts off showing you something like page 1 of 38 but it trims as it goes and usually you can search the entire US in 9 pages.
So just throwin' that out there. Any other search engines you guys use? If I want to check non-craigslist ads in any country I find OOYYO to be a fair resource ...

Other than that it's eBay and wecrash and then I'm searched out and need a nap lol.

The jaXed Mash has been presented with a "CEASE AND DESIST UNLAWFUL MISUSE OF CRAIGSLIST" from attorneys representing Craigslist. In the C&D, The jaXed Mash was cited for violating the Craigslist Terms of Use. Cragislist has demanded that The jaXed Mash remove all Craigslist listing titles, and cease to index Craigslist listings in the future.
