Very Helpful Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I have owned this book for 10 years and have used it extensively in restoring my 1968 Pontiac Firebird (Camaro cousin). The authors are obviously experts in Camaros. The tasks are in a logical sequence and pictures are abundant. It's not the only book for a restoration, but it's one of the first I grab when I need info.
Must Have
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you are restoring your Camaro this book is an absolute must have. It covers every area in detail including sheet metal replacement. Even if you don't plan on major panel replacement this book will save you money and help you understand how the different assemblies on your Camaro work.
Very good reference for part numbers and options packages.

This book provides a very complete and easily used reference on Camaro part numbers, options packages, and tips for show-quality restorations. It greatly aids planning on a "real" restoration (that is, returning the car to its original factory condition), providing enough information to identify virtually every part in the car. For example, it provides decoding information for the numeric stamp on Camaro transimissions (which is otherwise unintelligible). It also provides a large number of B & W photos and diagrams of parts and assemblies. The book is limited to 1st generation (1967-1969) Camaros, but is suprisingly thick despite this fact, at 288 8.5"x11" pages.What this book is not so good for is the actual restoration work; if you're looking for a guide on how to repair body panels and reupholster seats interior, look to Tom Carrao & Ron Sessions' "Camaro Restoration Handbook". As a reference for planning your restoration, however, I feel that this book would be very difficult to beat. It is a very good place to start learning about auto restoration, and you'll find yourself turning to it again and again as the work proceeds.
