"Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comforting to cry in a CORVETTE than in a Kia"

Eric has been extremely helpful with information that shaped this correctly for the C3 market. I had another vendor say he was impressed with the coil binder that was an Eric recommendation.

Why does it start with 1973?

______________

   

The model year 1973 was the first year the GMAD buildsheet (General Motors Assembly Division) used the landscape style buildsheet for the Corvette. We know that 1973 was the year we see the GMAD manifest glued to gas tanks. Before 1973, Corvette assembly was under the management of the Chevrolet Motor Division.

I have been following this thread with great interest. It Appears that Tom has done an excellent job of putting the information together that is not available from GM.  Who knew that 40+ years later that anybody would care anything about these cars.

Unfortunately, the book won't do much good for my 72 but I did find the build sheet on top of my tank and it is in very good (readable) condition.  I have removed and preserved it.

States I've visited:

Hib Halverson, technical writer for Corvette magazines, wrote a review of the Corvette Buildsheet Book and posted it at the Corvette Action Center.  He included both barbs and humor in the review and its worth a read.

Wull....technically, he's correct...if ya wanna nit-pick. "Motor" is used to describe electrical motors, while the term "Engine" is used to describe the internal combustion engine(or rocket fueled power supplies).

"Deep Geek"????
It's a nice review, anyway!
