One of the things I did like about the old website compared to the new one, is concerning the registry. I was able to search by state in the old registry, whereas the new one can only be searched by car number or color. I was looking for a member that has a Cosworth in Vienna WV when I was back in Ohio, and without knowing the car number or color, I didn't want to go through the entire registry to find him. Besides that one thing, I like the new website and think JD did a great job in setting it up.

While I understand the concern, there is really nothing that can be done as a club to make this not happen. If there is a silver lining to the issue it may be the fact that at least it improves the pool of spare parts to keep other cars alive or possibly bring some back to life.
Without getting into the realm of a certain Cosworth Vega owner (0078), I'd say just the VIN and the original Cosworth of England head (certainly the cam carrier cover that says "Cosworth Vega") makes the Cosworth Vega identifiable as a Cosworth Vega. As for trying to prevent owners from using their Vega (Cosworth or not) shells to put V-8's into, you might as well stop the tides. Yes, promote the Cosworth Vega for what it originally is, as any other Vega with a V-8 in it is a V-8 Vega. I encountered several people at car shows saying that the build of the Cosworth Vega is perfect to put V-8's into them. Somehow they don't realize that 76-77 Vegas pretty much has the same suspension as the Cosworths. My final word about V-8 Cosworths is from our founder, Bob Maloy, "As more and more poor examples of Cosworth Vegas either are taken off the road by neglect, or poor maintenance, it will make those samples that are kept in good shape more and more valuable." The same is true for those Cosworths which have met the fate of being converted to V-8's.

That is exactly the point I am trying to make...I find it hard to believe that we can't get an account to do our shipping for all of our stuff and not be able to get a deal.
