Good value and handy reference February 17, 2008
For the price, this is a very nice book, providing important information on all Corvette models through 2005. It also has many good color photos. This is a nice companion book to the small Corvette Black Book. I'd recommend adding this to your Corvette book library.

Not a very satisfying purchase January 23, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The book is mostly very bland facts and figures. The intro to each model year is very brief and then goes straight into VINs and paint codes. I also don't like how the options and prices are written in paragraph form instead of as a list. That makes it difficult to compare between model years.
However, my biggest complaint are the book's "quality control" errors. There are a few spelling errors and there are no less than 10 pictures that are mislabled (example: a magnetic red convertible labled as an electron blue Z06). The price guide section also inexplicably contains the header: "The prices listed here represent a sample of British sports cars imported to North America, taken from the 2004 Old Cars Price Guide. If you do not see your car here , check the 2005 edition of Cars and Prices or contact the club of your British car."
There are a lot of great pictures in this book, which is its saving grace.

Decent Overview W/Price List August 24, 2005

Very general overview - with a good pricelist. Covers all vette models - good info on colors and engine codes.
