Zeke-

Maybe you know already...

Ebay has a "favorite search" feature.  When someone lists the item you descibe in the "search" Ebay will send you an e-mail. It is saved in "my eBAY".  You will never miss a listed item.

You can do it for all the Iraqi Freedom cars.

If you already know, then GOOD LUCK.
