TRADE????????????????????????????????
Why not have BOTH?
My love is the 53-62 cars and I don't own a 63-67, but from time to time I work on 63-67s for customers and I have found both books to be invaluable!!!!!
I'd recommend keeping the Vol 1 and grab one of those Vol 2 from Amazon!

Bought a C-1 to go with my C-2, Noland autographed it with a quote, "What's a C-2 owner doing with a C-1 book?"

Love it!!! Love them both, great history!!

Check Corvette Central...forum vendor. Also saw that the NCRS site was out of print. Did some searching and Corvette Central had them. Ordered one...was delivered in 2 days...

That was about 4 months ago...so you may want to call them to verify stock, but when I ordered one, they had plenty in stock.

I have seen Noland advertise his books in the NCRS Driveline under Services and Miscellaneous in the past.

He also is a forum member and may answer your request.

I emailed him to order direct a few years ago. I sold my original edition for what it cost me when it was being scalped on ebay for twice the price - then I got acopy of the revised edition from Noland.

I bought one off e bay ( new for $50. ) about 2 years ago. They were out of print then. Both are great reference books.

I "ordered" one on Amazon in early August and it was supposed to ship in late August. They delayed the ship date until late September. Maybe they don't have any and are hoping one will come in...

Exact same situation. when I first ordered their web-site stated they had several new and used available. It's been on back order with date moved out several times. I had a gift certificate to use up. This is my first experience with them and it will be my last.

That's interesting to know...I've had a copy of Vol. 2 "on back order" with Corvette Central since May 17, 2006. I've contacted them from time to time and after my most recent inquiry they E-Mailed me back & said it was not going to be available until after March 15, 2007!!!

They sent you my copy!!!

Thank you.
I believe I'll cancel my order with C.C. and ask them for a credit, since they got my $69.95 a long time ago.

I hope someone gives Mr. Adams a heads-up about his publisher evidently limiting the quantities they're printing & the vendor's not having enough copies.

I'd rather have an autographed copy anyway!

Ordered from Amazon back in June, multiple emails to extend delivery time. Something like $50.00 for the book. Last time I called Amazon was sitting on 95 orders for the book. Had my book ordered for next day delivery. YEA, SURE!!!!!

What was the total your book came to?

TIA
