- The Restorer's Guide 1968 - 1982

 

This is the third Corvette volume by Torn Falconer in the 'Original' series, the earlier titles having covered the periods 1953-62 and 1963-67. Like the previous titles, this one goes many steps further than most books on the subject offering genuinely detailed and useful guidance about correct original factory specification and equipment, along with year-by-year lists of options and paint/trim combinations. In addition, the author discusses at length the choice of engines and transmissions offered in each model year.

Many of the Corvettes of this generation have been restored, but how many of them have been rejuvenated with the meticulous attention to correctness that the most discerning enthusiasts demand? Here, Tom Falconer pieces together the essential information about originality in the cars of the period 1968-1982. Drawing on a long-time Corvette obsession as an enthusiast, as well as a professional parts supplier and restorer, he adds established knowledge to his own information and experience to create a thorough guide to originality and to the evolution of the cars.
His text is supported by 290 specially commissioned color photographs of cars from every model year, taken by James Mann with the cooperation of helpful owners. The Corvettes illustrated have been painstakingly selected for their correctness, and the pictures in themselves provide an invaluable reference source.
Original Corvette 1968-1982 builds up a detailed picture of factory specification. It will be indispensable to enthusiasts, owners, restorers, and buyers.
