Most people already know how tremendously beneficial shop, service and maintenance manuals can be (and we highly recommend them), but not enough people realize just how remarkably helpful a parts guide can serve when dealing with your beloved classic. It contains a wealth of information you will NOT find in any of those other manuals.

For starters, the shop manuals assume you already have all of the pieces and fasteners for the projects...and that they are all correct. This 1953 - 1982 Corvette Parts & Illustration Catalog Set shows you everything you are supposed to have. It even helps let you know how the systems are designed to fit together.

You could say it's as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4. That is, this hefty guide features 1,234 pages of detailed information. It's been conveniently divided into a text section and an illustrations section. The text provides more than just part numbers. You'll find a thorough description, including factory-specifications, where needed. The illustrations deliver handy, exploded view diagrams. Please take a moment to scroll down and view a couple of sample pages we've included to demonstrate the effectiveness of this layout, as well as the outstanding quality of this set.

The publisher, Detroit Iron, uses industry-leading, digital technology and first-class materials to construct the finest manuals available. Notice the dark text on clean backgrounds and the sharpness of the visual aids. This is no hand-me-down, greasy survivor manual. It's freshly-printed and packaged.

The good folks at the dealership parts departments and their mechanics relied on these expert guides since these American sports cars were brand new. Now, you can too. Corvette owners are notorious for knowing all about their vehicles and for maintaining originality. This definitive guide will load you up with knowledge for both.

You can also gain valuable interchange information from this 1953 - 1982 Corvette parts catalog. You may find that the exact same item was used from '53 to '62, or from '68 to '79, for example. This knowledge can greatly increase your chances of success with your parts searches. Whether you're surfing the internet, scouring the salvage yards, or combing the swap meets, having this information at your fingertips might make all the difference.

Many aftermarket parts remanufacturers refer to their products by their original, factory part numbers, so this tool can aid you in that regard as well.

This factory-written parts catalog is perfect for service, repairs, restoration and rebuild projects. Clear illustrations and photos show exploded views, as well as component details, plus specifications, engine repair details, fuel systems and more.
