This review is from: Original Corvette Sting Ray 1963-1967: The Restorer's Guide (Original Series) (Hardcover)

Maybe Corvettes are different in Great Britain. But some facts are not correct. Even production numbers are incorrect. So maybe not so useful in the US. But some photos are excellent.

This review is from: Collector's Originality Guide Corvette Sting Ray (Paperback)

I was able to purchase the book(Sofcover,2008,yellow Car on the cover) at a good price and I didn't find nothing wrong with it,It is neither an END-ALL go To Corvette Book nor does it pretend to be,It says so in the intro.(There are other Corvette Books that are and they exist)It is not a Technical guide per se nor a Complete Pictorial,It is a quick Rundown,with Color pictures and information.It is A Book to add to your Corvette Library,Give it a Read First and see if it fits your Needs.

This review is from: Original Corvette Sting Ray 1963-1967: The Restorer's Guide (Original Series) (Hardcover)

This is a great book if you have ever dreamed of owning perhaps the best looking Corvette model style ever. Detail pictures are very good showing interiors, engines, etc. If you are like me and cant afford the real thing and make models of these years the photos are especially good for doing detail work for painting. All in all a great book for the dreamer and modeler alike.
