"It's lusty! It stimulates all of the base emotion lurking deep in modern man." That's how Car & Driver introduced the third-generation of Corvette styling in 1968. The bulging front and rear quarters with a pinched mid-section, not unlike the shape of a Coke bottle, became the hallmark of Chevrolet's most successful Corvette design. As special as your Corvette is , it is, after all, a Chevrolet. You will be surprised by how many parts your C-3 Corvette shares with other Chevs and GM models. Some of the same pieces that make up the 1968-1982 'Vettes can also be found on garden variety Chevelles, Camaros, and even Impala station wagons! This is good news for the Corvette owner. Why spend big bucks on a new Corvette crankshaft, when the same same one could be found in an Impala, Chevelle, or Nova? Even the truly-specific parts may be found on more than one model year. Drawing on part numbers from the original factory assembly manuals, Corvette Parts Interchange Manual 1968-1982 is your guide to discovering which pieces from other Corvettes or GM-made vehicles can be used to restore your classic sports car to original, straight-from-the-factory specs. Thousands of interchanges are covered, conveniently broken down by major systems such as engine, fuel system, suspension and steering, electrical, and more.
