Index


Few cars will ever reach the iconic status held by Chevrolet’s Corvette. While the Corvette is still in production today, it is the first three generations of the fibreglass sports car that are considered to be classics. Author Tom Benford has written several books dedicated to Corvettes, but his latest, Weekend Projects for Your Classic Corvette 1953-1982, will prove popular as it offers Corvette enthusiasts a year’s worth of projects designed to keep your car healthy, running strong, and looking good.
Much like the aforementioned Mustang book, this book kicks off each project chapter with a summary of expectations, tools, and costs (time, money and effort) to get the job done. There are fewer sections, but only because some categories have been combined – Engine; Interior; Exterior; Brakes, Tires, Wheels and Suspension – and the subject vehicles are much less complicated. The focus of most of the projects is restoration rather than customization, as the Corvettes in question (C1, C2 and C3) tend to be collector cars cherished by their lucky owners.
Benford’s writing style is easy to follow and engaging, and his extensive use of photography makes each task look much less daunting. I must say I am impressed with how thorough the book is, especially when you consider that the subject matter comprises a 30 year time span

    Of the five generations of Corvettes, the C3 or "shark" models are among the most popular with do-it-yourselfers. Produced from 1968 all the way up to 1982, most C3 Corvettes havent reached the collector status (and inflated prices) of earlier models. Far from being the black sheep of the Corvette family though, these attractive cars are plentiful (500,000+ were built) and affo...
