5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST way to properly identify the validity of a car., July 20, 1999

This review is from: Catalog of Chevelle, Malibu & El Camino Id Numbers 1964-87 (Cars & Parts Magazine Matching Numbers Series) (Paperback)

This book gives just the right amount of detail to provide the car owner or a buyer with what the numbers really mean. It will also tell you in a hurry whether the equipment on your car is truly "original" I have accurately identified my 71 Elky as well as many others.

It is also a great reference when buying an "original" car. As some options for some cars were not identified by the factory apart from the original build sheet, the book only tells you about the numbers that you can find on various components. As an example, a 1970 SS was not identified by any of the numbers as an SS except on the build sheet. However, as any knowledgable enthusiast knows, the build number of the car (6 digits) is also stamped on the front of the block.

All in all a great book. Excellent for the Classic Chevy enthusiast Library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Everything!, June 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Catalog of Chevelle, Malibu & El Camino Id Numbers 1964-87 (Cars & Parts Magazine Matching Numbers Series) (Paperback)

We have had this book ever since we restored a 1970 ElCamino. We are currently in the middle of a 1971 Monte Carlo, and although some of the information is different, much of it is accurate for the MC as well. Our friends borrow this book so often we have to sign it out to them. Currently it is invaluable in researching a 1975 Nova. As with the MC, most of the information is the same (paint codes, etc.). I highly recommend this book to anyone researching their car!
