Do you have the AIM and the 68-69 judges manual as well? Both are EXECELLENT reference reading material.
BTW, the '69 goes on the lift this morning to get the clutch out and I've got a shipment coming today from Paragon of goodies -
If you get to Rivereside, stop in. Maybe we could persuade Greg54 to bring out some of his Verts as well - I might even fire up the smoker for ribs!

Its the best book for a '69 owner, although the 68-69 NCRS JG, the AIM and Dobbins' 68-72 Factbook are close behind.

This type of book is fascinating for me .
back in 1982 when I got my first 69 corvette , I bought the M.F. Dobbins book and could not put it down . But this book has it beat .

Hi,
I think the Bizzoco book is a must have for anyone seriously interested in ANY 68-72 car.
There is information and pictures that can be applied to ALL 5 years.
A GOOD book!
Regards,
Alan

I agree; it's pretty good stuff. I'm glad you mentioned Dr. Dobbins' books; his stuff is also good.
I think we should all come together in one large, well mannered, but insistent mob and coerce (gently) Noland Adams into writing a Restoration Guide Volume III for C3s. I flipped back through his Volume II (again) last Sunday afternoon.

My copy came from Crane's Corvette Supply in San Diego. I paid $60 in '94.

BTW, at the top of the front cover is a sticker "1968-69" covering what I suppose is the original printing of just 1969. Does anyone else have the cover sticker? He said he was working on a '68 Guidebook. Did he ever do so?

I am not certain the 68 Guidebook ever materialized. I've never seen it and keep hoping it pops up.

Double ditto...mine came from Crane as well. The author is a professor out of, I believe San Diego and probably has given Crane primary distribution rights so they charge the $69.00.
