James, really it is not that difficult since all the data is in a relational database. The problems will be that everybody will have differing opinions and wants for what the list would include. If, for example, you wanted a list of all the possible K/SA combinations, do you want the whole list, a list that would show only popular body styles or would excuse station wagons, a list that would be only GM, Ford, Oldsmobile or some combination, a list that would only include 4-bbl equipped engines, etc. etc. I have a few queries that I have created for myself and providing a function on the website that would make it truly useful by allowing configuration options is the problem.


Doubtless, such analysis was part of the original reason for building the database and the information that is possible is far more valuable than Nitro Joe's data. If you were looking for a combination like Mr. Hale's, it would not be in Joe's lists until this year. However, it has been available for over 13 years.
