Description:	SIMPLE JOB FOR CAR LOVERS! I sell model cars and need someone to give me a hand on a simply research & data-entry job. Basically, I have a product list of 600+ products(please see the attached excel spreadsheet.) NOTE: some car models are duplicates with different style/color only. So, there are roughly 100-150 actual car models that I need to do a research on (look up/write a brief, less than 500 words on auto history and description, etc.) See below for an example: -- ____________________________________________________________________ Product Name - 1972 Datsun 240Z ____________________________________________________________________ Description - First Japanese Muscle Car Yutaka Katayama had been seeking a sports car to market ever since starting Nissan US in 1960. By the early 1970s he felt the timing was right. New U.S. safety and emission-control regulations had caused the Corvette to downsize its engine. The Austin-Healy 3000 could not even pass these standards. Katayama poured all his efforts into convincing Nissan to produce a true sports car. Using Jaguar E-type styling and adding 2 cylinders to Datsuns 4-cylinder engine, the 240-Z was born. It was an immediate success, selling 52,658 at $3526, becoming the first collectible Japanese automobile. Japanese Executives Wanted to Name it Fairlady Katayama had spent enough time in America to know that a sports car named “Fairlady was not going to attract the U.S. consumer. He and some trusted coworkers removed the “Fairlady nameplates and replaced them with 240Z badges. This 1:18 precision die cast replica has all the official logos and insignias as the original, plus opening doors, hood and hatchback, working steering system, detailed engine and interior, all topped of with a flaming orange factory baked enamel finish. ____________________________________________________________________ So, here's the deal: - (1) if you can provide a source of these information in one/two website links or other copyable format, I will pay you $15 via Paypal instantly. Please note: the source must be USABLE with ease and at least fulfill 90% of the information easily. Don't send me to Yahoo/MSN auto links or auto maker sites. (2) if you have the sources and are willing to do the data-entry, i.e. enter the information into the excel spreadsheet, that would be IDEAL. I will pay up to $50 for the entire project. Most importantly, I need ACCURACY and you will have a minimum of 2 weeks to complete the project at your leisure time. This is the first product list I got so far and I expect to get at least a few more in the coming weeks along with other enjoyable data entry jobs for the same person/team who accept this job. Thanks for bidding! See my ratings - I value freelancers' works and will pay a bonus for excellent job done! :-) Additional files submitted: Product List.xls
