Product Description
Follow the drama that unfolded at the executive, marketing, and engineering levels of Chevrolet from 1968-82, arguably the most exciting era for Corvettes. This colorful volume delivers coverage of the mainstream 350-engined Corvettes, along with the rare 1978 Corvette Indy Pace Car and the 1982 25th Anniversary 'Vette. Additionally, considerable attention is devoted to the L88 454s and ZL1 427s, speed shops, and dealership performance package cars.

A "must read" for any true Sharkster! November 15, 2000
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
If what you are searching for is a book which will give you a detailed understanding of the second generation "Stingray", this is an excellent choice of reading and research material. The book starts with a basic overview of the Corvette and a solid foundation for understanding how the "shark" bodied cars fit into the evolution of this uniquely American automobile. You begin a more indepth look at the 68-82 Corvette with some of the prototypes which lead to the production model. The book then walks you thru a living history and evolution of the "C3" type Corvette. But more than a brief overview, Mike Mueller provides a detailed study of the car presented in a coherent and logical fashion. The reader comes away with an intimate knowledge of the changes and developement of this car on a year to year basis. This is a quality printed book containing many excellent pictures from General Motors archives, illustrative diagrams and original beauty photographs displaying breath taking shots of exceptional examples of Corvettes. Many facinating sidebar articles support and expand on the main body of reading material. This is a comprehensive and complete body of material in one volume which would be an excellent addition to any Corvette library. It is an excellent book for both the hard core "Vette" owner wishing to have information about his or her car in their collection of Corvette literature or the casual auto buff looking for a bit of information to round out their knowledge of a very interesting and exciting period in the history of a true American automotive icon.
