Chris Petris' Corvette C3 1968-1982: How to Build and Modify guide is highly recommended for anyone interested in THE most authoritative Corvette C3 performance build-up book available.

Originally developed by industrial designer Harley J. Earl and unveiled in the 1950s by General Motors, the Chevrolet Corvette has become one of the most recognizable sports cars in the world. It was so masculine, the rumor is it was named after a small warship. The Corvette really hit its stride and popularity in the late 1960s and maintained that status right up to the early 1980s. During that period, somewhere in the vicinity of a half million models hit the streets.

Now, those classic models, which were built and sold between 1968 and 1982, may be beloved, but they're also considered antiquated. The brakes, suspension, steering and engines are decades old and definitely lack the standards and safety measures found in today's models. Fortunately, all you need is Corvette C3 1968-1982: How to Build and Modify, a comprehensive Corvette C3 performance build-up book, to pump up your car's life support.

This book is a great resource for the at-home enthusiast or professional tech. It's an easy to follow, step-by-step guide for modifying comfort and durability, giving you modern braking, handling and acceleration while retaining those classic lines.
