During the first three years of Camaro production, GM offered option packages to satisfy all tastes, from six-cylinders suitable for Grandma's grocery-getting duties to big-block monsters virtually ready for drag racing straight off the showroom floor. This guide is written and designed for enthusiasts attempting to determine which parts, accessories and colors will restore their first-generation Camaro to factory-original condition. A huge selection of color photography depicts Chevy's major performance packages of the period - the SS, RS and Z/28 -- while carefully detailing engines, interiors and bodies. In addition, muscle-car authority Jason Scott provides factory records, comprehensive specifications, detailed parts lists and period literature to present a definitive originality guide.

This is the best Camaro book I have read in the many years I have been buying 1st generation camaro books. The pictures, literature and information provided are excellent. I recommend this book to anyone who loves Camaros as much as I do.

This review is from: Original Camaro 1967-1969: The Restorer's Guide 1967-1969 (Original Series) (Hardcover)
I used this book to guide placement of badges and to review original equipment interior. The book is OK for this use. Assembly manuals are more specific at times. A good read.

This review is from: Original Camaro 1967-1969: The Restorer's Guide 1967-1969 (Original Series) (Hardcover)
This book has some good information that would be useful to someone who has never owned a Camaro, and wants to buy one. VIN codes, body codes, good information. However, if you want to see how things should look, skip this one. I was looking for information on paint gloss and texture, assembly techniques, and so forth, so this book was not very useful.
