Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1973

Featuring detailed, step-by-step instructions and myriad illustrations, charts, and graphical representations, the Chilton's Auto Repair Manual is a comprehensive tome which has served well generations of backyard and professional automobile mechanics. Although all-inclusive and far-reaching in its scope, the various materials are presented in a such a manner that even the novice will find much, if not most, that was once considered too complex, or perceived as incomprehensible, well within his or her sphere of understanding and capability.

The Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1973 encompasses those American automobiles manufactured between the years of 1966 through 1973 as well as the Volkswagen. Virtually all assemblies and sub-assemblies are addressed in great detail and are accompanied by those illustrations deemed appropriate and essential for a clearer understanding of the individual components and procedures under discussion.

Although 32 years have passed since that date in 1973 when I purchased this volume new, it remains an outstanding reference volume for both the collector and restorer of vintage American automobiles. The information contained within its pages is no longer readily available, while the book itself, long out-of-print, is becoming increasingly difficult to locate. Relegated to history and nostalgia is the era of the high performance "muscle car"—the days when gas was cheap, emission controls unknown, and onboard computers consigned to science fiction—and the boys and girls who built and loved them. Gone is the time when the average teenager smelled more of motor oil than acne medication and when horsepower was of far greater import than system RAM and hard drive capacity. Gone, alas, are the days of my youth.

 Condition:

Oft used and with pages much thumbed, this volume is not without flaw or blemish. I was, after all, enamored with my 1970 Nova SS 396 and bestowed countless blissful hours of tender love and care upon that magnificent vehicle. Although my fingerprints may be discovered here and there and some pages contain watermarks from where I refused to permit the rain or snow to impede my progress, each word and illustration is perfectly legible. The hardcover is lightly scuffed from normal wear, yet remains quite presentable. I, therefore, classify this edition of Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1973 as "Good."
