The third generation Corvettes, built from 1968 through 1982, are the most affordable and frequently driven 'Vettes, barring the new models. This all-color guide is written and designed for enthusiasts attempting to determine which parts, accessories and colors will restore their cars to factory-original condition. A huge selection of color photography depicts all editions from these Corvette model years - including the ultra-fast L88 454 and ZL1 427, in addition to the standard 350 - while carefully detailing engines, interiors and bodies. In addition, Corvette authority Tom Falconer provides factory records, comprehensive specifications, detailed parts lists and period literature to present a definitive originality guide.

Great Reference Book-Tons Of Pictures,
By T.J. Humphreys (Clarksville, Md. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Original Corvette 1968-1982: The Restorer's Guide 1968-1982 (Original Series) (Hardcover)
I found this book as well as Falconer's other corvette reference books well stocked with great looking original corvettes. You don't just get pictures though. He accompanies the photos with lots of information and data associated with each production year. What I like most of all is it appears most of the corvettes are tagged and street driven, not pampered show cars. I will keep this book around for a long time.

This review is from: Original Corvette 1968-1982: The Restorer's Guide 1968-1982 (Original Series) (Hardcover)
Extremely basic. I got more information off the Internet. I wanted a guide book that could help me restore my 1969 Stingray. This book just gives basic information about the cars. Waste of money!!!!!
