Author Description

The third generation Corvettes, built from 1968 through 1982, are the most affordable and frequently driven 'Vettes, barring the new models. This all-color guide is written and designed for enthusiasts attempting to determine which parts, accessories and colors will restore their cars to factory-original condition. A huge selection of color photography depicts all editions from these Corvette model years - including the ultra-fast L88 454 and ZL1 427, in addition to the standard 350 - while carefully detailing engines, interiors and bodies. In addition, Corvette authority Tom Falconer provides factory records, comprehensive specifications, detailed parts lists and period literature to present a definitive originality guide.
