Book Review: Authentic Restoration?
Summary: 5 Stars
For years I wondered how there were so many "Matching Numbers" cars with, say, factory tach, 4 speed, etc. available today at large bucks. With the help of this guide, one can assemble or restore the car of their dreams just as if one had special ordered it from the factory in 1964. Of course the purist would say that to take a '64 Impala SS that was originally 250 horse automatic and convert that to a 300 horse, 4 speed, factory tach etc. was counterfeiting even though all the parts have the right casting number, date codes, etc. Well, we can't make that call because opinions run rampant among auto enthusiasts.
Whatever your goal, this book will help you achieve it. Whether validating the authenticity of a barnyard find or assembling the car of your dreams, Alan L. Colvin provides the information to answer your questions. It is presented in a clear, concise maner and organized for easy reference while browsing swap meets and surfing eBay.
My only regret is that I didn't have a copy of it sooner!
Summary of Chevrolet by the Numbers: The Essential Chevrolet Parts Reference 1965-1969 (Chevrolet by the Numbers)
"Chevrolet by the Numbers" is the only authoritative reference for identifying and verifying the correct Chevrolet parts, by casting number, for your exact model.-Restoring your Chevrolet to original factory specifications? You'll find the casting numbers that correspond to your car's Vehicle Identification Number. With this correct information you will avoid buying - and being sold - the wrong parts.
-Buying a Chevrolet that has been restored? These numbers will help you determine whether or not the car has been authentically restored, and whether it's a smart investment.
-Searching for factory high-performance parts at swap meets? "Chevrolet by the Numbers" tells you which parts to look for, why they are special, and which engines those parts came with.
Other books rely on secondhand information or out-of-date part numbers. Author Alan Colvin documented every casting number for every Chevrolet V-8 engine and drivetrain part from 1955 through 1975, using original source material in Chevrolet's archives, including engineering blueprints, technical service bulletins, and build sheets. He interviewed the original manufacturers and engineers and brings you fascinating stories of parts development from behind the factory gates. Most of this information has never before been seen in public.
This book covers all 1965-1969 passenger cars, including: Camaro, Corvette, Chevy II/Nova, Chevelle, Impala, Bel Air, and El Camino. Engines covered include the 283, 302, 327, 350, 396, 409, 427.
If you absolutely want to know the original parts for your Chevrolet - not what interchanges or fits, but the correct part that came with your car when it was assembled - "Chevrolet by the Numbers" has the answer.
