    Ok series of question of hunting and finding parts on line.
    1. FACEBOOK If I do a search for 62 Skylark parts on Facebook market place, does it search the all of market place? Meaning local and across the country?
    2. FACEBOOKf If put in 1962 Skylark why does the search also provide boats, 1995 pickups? How does one eliminate unwanted product in the search?
    3. Craigslist. Is there a method to expand the search beyond a small city? Meaning go nation wide in one key stroke? I typed in 1962 Skylark but don't want to do it for 50 times.
    4. What are other methods to find parts on line?
    5. I did not mention Ebay. I just have zero luck getting parts from them.

    Have found craigslist has ground down to just about useless for selling anything, anymore.
    Last five or six ads, placed in large metros, simply produced scammers, or in one instance, one guy looking for something else.
