If your restoring your own camaro, (and you do your own restoration work) you'd think this would be a good book to get. However, if your like me, you already own the GM overhaul/chasis manual, the fisher body manual, the wiring diagram and the factory assembly manual. I bought this book thinking it would aid me in restoring my camaro. Instead, this book is nothing but a bunch of diagrams/clips taken from the books mentioned above but in much less detail.
I am surprised the other two reviews were real positive because if you already have the factory manuals, it renders this book useless and quite lacking. This book does have a good bit of facts and codes but if your looking for that type of info, go for the Big Book of Camaro Data.
For real "how to" type applications and in a step-by-step procedure in bringing your camaro back to life I recommend the Camaro Restoration Handbook by Currao and the Camaro Owner's Handbook by Sessions. Check 'em out.

This is by far one of the best, if not the best reference guide for restoring a 1967, 68 or 69 Camaro. Production codes, trim codes, RPO codes as well as complete original assembly manual guides an illustrations are included.
If you're looking for the best reference to restore that classic Camaro to factory correct specs... this is it!

Lots of Poor/small copy's of the assembly manuals diagrams.At the minimum they should have blown the diagrams up to make them full page pictures.
