Ford Barn Swap Meet problem
 

The Fordbarn Swap Meet is a nightmare for folks looking for complete autos. I have had it with wading through the hundreds of gear shift knobs and intakes and window regulators before I see an ad for a complete car. The way the Ford Barn Swap is set up makes it a major time waster. Perhaps FordBarn can separate the Swap so that guys with complete cars can buy or sell on a dedicated sub forum? I really don't use the swap here because of the amount of time involved. The setup I suggested works good at EFV8 classified forum.

Over on the H.A.M.B., Ryan does have the "Parts" section and the "Cars" sections separated.
Perhaps he could be persuaded to separate them here too !

Tony,
Go over to Search in Swap Meet, type in `cars for sale'. It will narrow your search to three pages. There are other ads too but this will help.

I rarely use it, but I've noticed that if I do a search on something like "32 tudor seat," it lists everything with a "32" in it, everything with a "tudor" in it and everything with a "seat" in it. I think some other sites (Epay?) allow you to do a search for either ALL the words or ANY of the words. It even allows you to list words that you don't want, such as look for "32 frame" and omit any with the word "license" so you don't have to wade through 200 "32 license frames."

I guess you guys who "have had it" might go and set up your own forums.;)

Have you tried putting your terms in with parentheses around the words? I just searched "33 Ford pickup" in the early V8s for sale and got only 3 hits.
Some searches on certain forums won't do the search operations, I'm thinking this one does.
