Donor Car Data 1993 models

[larry.backes]

My friend, Anthony Renda, whom some of you meet at last Friday's meeting, compiled this spreadsheet of potential 1993 donor cars which includes the curb weight, the available transmissions, and drive type.  Some of the basics of choosing a donor car.  The info comes from the following web site: http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v1n1/datasets.lock.html

The first two pages of the PDF are sorted by weight, the next two by Make.

I hope it's useful,

Great list. Very helpful for people looking for their first or second donor car.  Any chance of Anthony doing a few more, such as every three or four years apart ?  There are cars that are no longer made and some new ones since 1993.  Thanks to Larry and Anthony.
(I don't mean we wait 3 years for the next list.)   Oh - you know what I mean.

Anthony's Response:

"Since I didn't create it, just "found" it and massaged the format, I
can't help.

If someone collects the data I'd be happy to structure it.


If it's on the web, it's buried pretty well.  I spent 30 minutes with
several search terms to find what I did.  Using the point of diminishing
return as my guide, I don't think that there's any more gold out there.
This now looks like manual effort within the www.kbb.com or
www.edmunds.com sites.  The info is there, just not in the tables that
you'd want.


Who's got a 12 year old that wants to make 10 bucks for scrubbing the
pages for the info??"  (End of Anthony's message)

Larry says:

I think this file is a great starting point, and as we are all looking for this kind of data, when you have some info like this, forward it to me and I will add it to this file.
