Customer Reviews
- GREAT ,NICE GIFT & VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION
- Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars
- IF YOU REALLY LOVE OLD CLASSIC CARS, I'D REALLY RECOMMEND GETTING THIS BOOK. (VERY DETAILED INFORMATION!)
- Good E-body reference, but...
- Avg. Customer Rating: 3 Stars
- This book is well organized and has a plethora of useful information, including part numbers and photographs. However, the author appears to be chiefly interested in the "E-body" cars (1970-74), as opposed to the "A-body" Barracudas (1967-69). The amount of information on the A-bodies is disappointingly small, and I noted several statements that are factually incorrect, as well as overly sweeping generalizations, and confusions between similar features. I personally am mainly familiar with the A-body cars, and I am willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that the E-body information is accurate. I am even willing to recommend this book to A-body owners, with the caveat not to take every statement at face value -- the part numbers and other statistical information are probably worth the price.
- Good reference source
- Avg. Customer Rating: 4 Stars
- This book is loaded with info, codes, casting numbers, diagrams, and photos. There is a lot of useful info. Many of the diagrams look to be directly taken from Plymouth/Dodge chasis and body manuals, but with additional info. If you are going to do a complete A to Z restoration, you will need more info than what is offered here, but show me one single book that covers an entire restoration on E-bodies, and I will buy it. Its my observation that you need a full library of reference sources and this book has its place.
- not a restoration book!
- Avg. Customer Rating: 2 Stars
- If you want to know what the proper tire pressure for a 'cuda or challenger was or what color the aircleaner was, get this book. If you want help or guidance fixing up your car, look elsewhere. This book will tell you all about what the original specifications were for these cars (which might be helpful to some) but has no information on how to repair them to the point where knowing which direction a sticker faced would help.
- Information not "restoration"
- Avg. Customer Rating: 3 Stars
- This is a great book of information , but definately NOT a "restoration" guide. It provides good information about the options and details to each year make and model but not much more. If you are looking for details about restoring your car (chalk marks, correct finish's, fasteners, etc) keep looking elsewhere. There are also numerous errors contained in this book as well as the "Charger, Roadrunner, Superbee Authentic Resto Guide" written by the same author, no surprise there! Buy it for the information, but don't think you're gonna take home any show trophies after reading it .
