Disapointed2
This book is not really a restoration guide, it is more like a parts catalogue. There is very little info on how to restore a GTO. Instead it is just a book of endless part numbers with some exploded diagrams. Also the chapters are confusing, they should be divided by the year of the car. Instead the chapters include all years on the same topic. You can be on one page reading about a console for a 67 GTO and you turn the page and all of the sudden you are looking at a dash board for a 72 GTO! A very poor efort.

'GTO BIBLE' Lacking In Chapter And Verse For 1968 And Beyond3
Although I have found this guide to very helpful in some instances, there does not seem to be any consistant flow to the text and diagrams. If systems and diagrams are compatable from year to year acknowledge that.. I am an engineer and yet I still found it hard to follow. At times trying to comprehend which years and which systems the text and diagrams correlated to was extremely confusing. Now to the real source of my irritation. I sincerely do not comprehend why they were so negligent when it came to the '68' GTO. My review may be biased by the fact I am restoring a '68' convertible and that the information on this car is sorely lacking. Perhaps this makes me a bit myopic in my view but the guide is not up to the expectations generated by it's advertisement as the "GTO BIBLE". My overall impression is that they were developing a manual for '65' through '67' and adding '68' on was an after thought. I would highly recommend the guide for the early years but for those who need '68' forward look somewhere else.

Not the "GTO Bible" but it may be the best out there.3
I have had the GTO restoration guide for almost 10 years now. It is a useful book, but it does have some short-commings. An index would be nice, since it is so disorganized. Some part numbers I have found have been wrong, or not complete. The information that is available for the Corvettes makes the GTO Restoration guide look like a joke! We need a more complete and accurate book for us Pontiac Lovers.
