Author Jeffrey Steffes provides valuable information for Chevelle owners and those contemplating the restoration or purchase of one. After a brief overview of each year of the Chevelle from 1964-1972, Steffes delves into documenting a Chevelle. Using copies of important documentation, Steffes describes what each piece is and what it can - and perhaps more importantly - what it cannot tell you about a particular car.
Chapters included in this publication cover engine, transmission and differential identification as well as options and color codes for each model year. There is also a section on decoding VINs and body tags. Of special interest are photos of casting numbers and their locations so you have an easier time finding them. It's 128 pages of information, color photos, and illustrations to help educate and entertain you on America's favorite muscle car. A must have for the Chevelle enthusiast.
