I found this book a disappointment. While it is unlikely that any book of this kind will be 100% error free, this one has at least one substantial oversight.I have a 1969 442, and I wanted to decipher the data plate on the body. My data plate, however, did not match the one depicted in the book. Ironically, on the back cover is an actual photograph of a '69 data plate, and it to does not match what is shown in the book either. I have a convertible, and the book says I should have a vinyl top. The back cover photograph also shows a particular code for upper body/top color which is isn't even listed in the '69 section. If '69 is this inaccurate, what about the rest of the years?
I ended up logging on to (the net), and asking for help which I got the next day.
I appreciate the effort in trying to show paint colors and upholstery materials, but I'm not sure this book is worth (it). I'm thinking about returning it.
