This is the very first book that my father bought for me. I learned all about fixing cars while using this volume to keep my 1967 Olds Cutlass running. Within the pages I discovered more than enough info and proceedures that I actually went on to become an ASE/FORD certified mechanic. I still use and recommend all Chilton's volumes.

This book is very well-written. Out of all the books available, this book contained every piece of information that I needed.

I have been using Chilton's Auto Repair Manuals my whole life. Both as a 'Novice' and a 'Professional' and can say that the attention to detail placed into the Chilton's Manuals are impeccable. Even though I work in a different field here in Europe, I still had the opportunity to pull out my Collector's Edition and work on restoring a 1971 Plymouth GTX that belongs to a co-worker. Step by Step outlines, factory tolerances and exploded diagrams aid in making a simple repair to a complicated restore seem like 'childs play'. Got a repair? Got a favorite car to restore? Got a Chilton's? If the answer is yes to these questions...then go for it!

What can I say? It's a book! If you can read, it will probably work okay for you. If you can't, it will be a problem.

As usual, Chilton provides a comprehensive manual for the covered model years. The only flaw was that this particular version was utterly lacking in schematic diagrams. This was disappointing as Chilton's normally has outstanding schematics. I'll not be returning it though as it otherwise is exemplary.
