Cullen,

This is a good starting point...

But add (I mean subtract - grin) 

-vinyl -china -patch -pertronix -alfa -tankpad -"tank pad" -Ksport

Then we need something to reduce those exhaust tips, spark plugs, 
ignition wires or systems, turbo kits, and shift pattern plates etc...
which I typically reduce using the exclusion list like:
(This is a separate list.)

-octaneautosupply

I have a number of sellers that I have on my exclusion list, 
but sadly the worst offenders change their name occasionally.

Keep in mind some DeToMaSo owners will list their car for sale with 
miss-spellings or under Ford "other".

Anyway, Good Hunting!

Chuck

Hi guys..I was messing around on eBay earlier and decided to develop a
standard for searching terms that would yield the most "Pantera" relevant
material.I'm tired of all the eBay spam that muddies the water of what eBay
actually is supposed to offer. I think this problem was discussed a couple
months ago and im sure anyone who has been on eBay lately has seen the
issue. I went through most of the pages kinda quickly of the 1600 or so
items that come up on a basic search of "detomaso pantera", and came up with
this search.it seems to filter out most of the unrelated content, and adds
both spellings for "detomaso" (also "de tomaso" because many spell it that
way) so I thought I would share.

 

Here's the disclaimer..it is I suppose possible that it will omit something
you might want..but for me, it eliminated the dozens of snowmobile items,
helmets, motorcycle crap and HID headlight conversion junk..seems to be a
much more relevant content for me now.maybe it will be useful for someone.

 

If you want to try it you can copy paste this string of text at the bottom
of this email into the search field of ebaymotors, might help browsing..
