Guys,
My focus on any changes would pertain primarily to the online Registry. Here is a brief list of things that are most important to keep the Registry relevant and user friendly.
1) The cars should be listed chronologically by VIN. This would make it easy to see at a glance if a GS has already been registered by a prior owner.
2) A chronological list of past owners associated with that VIN. This would help establish a paper trail of the car's history.
3) The ability of the administrators to edit individual entries. This would include; resizing posted photos, updating new ownership, adding new photos, changing or adding new information or comments.
4) Having one administrator responsible for making entries not associated with any one particular owner. For instance, those GSs for sale on Ebay, auto auctions, GSs seen at car shows, and entries from deceased GSs. The entry would have an * to indicate that it was an administrator entry and could be updated once a current owner has surfaced. The RIPs would contain info of whether it's in a salvage yard or been crushed.
5) Having a Registry "tool" so that viewers can enter search criteria of their choosing. For example; plug in these values: convertible, red, black interior, 4-speed. It would then tell how many entries meet that criteria.
I think the most important changes are reorganizing by VIN and having the ability to make updates to entries. What I would like to have established is a Registry data base that will be relevant for many years to come. The VIN is the key.
