If what you are searching for is a book which will give you a detailed understanding of the second generation "Stingray", this is an excellent choice of reading and research material. The book starts with a basic overview of the Corvette and a solid foundation for understanding how the "shark" bodied cars fit into the evolution of this uniquely American automobile. You begin a more indepth look at the 68-82 Corvette with some of the prototypes which lead to the production model. The book then walks you thru a living history and evolution of the "C3" type Corvette. But more than a brief overview, Mike Mueller provides a detailed study of the car presented in a coherent and logical fashion. The reader comes away with an intimate knowledge of the changes and developement of this car on a year to year basis. This is a quality printed book containing many excellent pictures from General Motors archives, illustrative diagrams and original beauty photographs displaying breath taking shots of exceptional examples of Corvettes. Many facinating sidebar articles support and expand on the main body of reading material. This is a comprehensive and complete body of material in one volume which would be an excellent addition to any Corvette library. It is an excellent book for both the hard core "Vette" owner wishing to have information about his or her car in their collection of Corvette literature or the casual auto buff looking for a bit of information to round out their knowledge of a very interesting and exciting period in the history of a true American automotive icon.

This book is a great addition to any Corvette lover's book collection for these corvette's.Covers the history of the C3 corvette's in great detail and good colour photos throughout add value to this book.Add this book to your collection.I also recommend these books:
1)"Corvette C3:Buyer's Guide 1968-1982"
2)"How to restore & modify your Corvette 1968-1982".

Love this book, I have the softcover with the 70' yellow convertible and the 82' Collector Edition on the cover. Not sure why a Different version of covers? Good Book Just like the 63-67 Corvette Book that precedes.
Would Highly Recommend.
