"GOOD" Camaro Book - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Windy City · 09-26-2009, 06:46 AM

Ok guys, (and gals) I was torn as where to post this thread but I'll try here first.

I am looking for a (or several) good Camaro reference books. Nothing about some yellow Camaro that turns into a alien fighting monster, but REFERENCE.

My primary interest is 1st and 2nd generation bodies. Things like production code meanings, true option packages, dealer performance packages, and originally offered colors. I have seen a few different books offered out there, including the Camaro White Book, but the internet makes it hard to know what is worth a crap!

So any pertinent, experienced information is appreciated.

Windy, I have used Chevrolet by the numbers, Author Alan L. Colvin. My particular book is 15 yrs old now. I do believe these reference books have been updated and broken down into more specific sub categories over the years.

There is also a website called nastyZ28.com that I frequented when I was restoring a 2nd gen 73Z. This particular web site has a wealth of knowledge on second gens, just about anything you would need or want to know on a second gen.http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/index.php
