Just ran across this: http://www.automobile-catalog.com/
You can enter/select a maker, model name or series, any additional details, and see the specs for that car -- horsepower, size, curb weight, transmission code, all sorts of things. It has gaps: I can't find my 1994 Olds Cutlass in the list, and there are no pics of the older cars. But it's rather neat, though dispiriting, to know that my first car, the '75 Ford Maverick, and the '84 Ford Escort each got about the same hp, 70. . . .
