Anyone interested in magazine article index?

To All,

For the past ten years I have been making a database covering all of the articles in magazines concerning old Mopars and working on cars in general.  As of now, I have over 80 pages of entries for magazines such as Mopar Action, Mopar Muscle, Car Craft, Hot Rod, Popular Hot Rodding, as well as some older magazines no longer around such as Car Review and Car Exchange.  Some of these magazine articles date back into the 1980s, and the database I developed allows me to find an article immediately rather than rummaging through the over 700 car magazines I have right now.  A sample page follows below so you can get a better idea of what I have done.  Again, this is just one page of over 80.

My question is do you think it would be useful enough to try selling?  I was thinking about putting it on CD and selling copies.  If it is a viable idea, I would be interested in suggestions on what a fair price would be and  any other advice you guys might have.  I am posting this query on Moparts.com and DodgeCharger.com for feedback, as it primarily consists of articles on Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, DeSoto, Imperial and AMC.  I also have articles catalogued for Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Buick if any one is interested.  I also have pages of entries of what I call a "Generic" category.  You know, information that is relevant on all types of old American cars.  I want to thank everyone in advance for their responses. 

May God bless America,
Paladin

I'd wager your index is something that could be of great benefit to magazine publishers.
Sixty-eights look great and the '69 is fine.
But before the General Lee there was me - Headrope.

I think that's awsome and should be a great asset to the Faithful!

THANKS!

ie:
do you have access to and the ability to scan and post the two issue Hi-Performace Mopar article about the design of the second Gen Chargers?..

I've buried my copy... and think the members here would sure get alot out of it... and it would lay to rest all the rumors of the ChargerIII being a Corvette ripoff... among other things...

:iagree: Now you'd only have to sort the magazines so you can walk right to the copy you'd need. ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
