If your looking for a list of original part numbers this is for you. If you need restoration and assmebly tips your going to be disappointed.

Don't buy this book if you are looking for info on how to actually restore your firebird. There is essentially nothing in it that will tell you anything about restoring it. It's just a listing of part numbers and a few photos that are about as useful as looking at the ads on Ebay or doing a web search for the specific info you are looking for. It took me all of two hours to read the whole thing and I learned nothing useful for restoring my 69. As far as spelling and grammer this reads like it was outsoured to India for an Indian ghostwriter to take some notes from the author and make it into a book. There are sentences that aren't sentences, numerous words misspelled and various gramatical errors. All of those errors would have been caught by any decent word processing progam so apparently no one even bothered to spell check it before publishing it. That gives me less confidence that everything in it is accurate. How many part numbers are also typos?
About the only thing its good for is if you just want to cross referense whatever parts the author choose to put in his many lists of part numbers. Would I buy it again - no way, not at this price. But if you are looking for a bunch of part numbers this may be for you and you'd probably give it a higher rating then I have.

This book is great for a concourse restoration.
All factory part listings and descriptions for the models 67-69 and frame dimensions.

Book is very helpful in restoring my '67 and '68 firebird 400 convertibles. Wanting to make sure everything is up to par with the originals and this book is great for that. Being that I was not around during the time period this book is a tremendous help. Thanks.
