I have a 1970 assembly instruction manual that came with a car I bought. It is loose leave 3 ring notebook and is 194 pages.
Great idea Mark! I voted for the 70 manual but would also be interested in a 71 & 72 manual. Hope it works out. Larry
1970 and 1971 for me, but... I want something that won't deteriorate for at least another 25 years and is practical to use. That means if it's a three ring binder, that it would be heavy guage paper and good quality binder. If it's a book with a spline, make it rugged to it won't split easily. The information is obviously the key element, but the quality of the product is important too. If you're going to do it, lets spend a few extra dollars and make it a top notch job. As for the tech guys, I think a CD of the info to go along with the book (included) would be very cool. That would allow you to blow up the illustrations and print them out 2X, 4X, or whatever you need to see them better. I'm getting old enough to admit that would be a big plus.
I am about 95% positive that those manuals exist at the Sloan Museum. I would be concerned that there would not be enough interest to recover initial cost of reproducing the product. Has the Riv club done something like this? Mark
The 65 would be very beneficial because there is nothing out there right now for the 65 cars at all. The long sheets pose some problem but I think it could be overcome. Mark
Oh that would make my day, and I'm sure it other 65 owners would welcome this.:TU: I'm contemplating the disassembly of my car in another year or so. Athough I'm confident of my abilities, it could be a daunting task without the factory manual. Then again, one could simply "wing it".
Eric, It was great talking to you. I made it through the next day fine. It's a shame it is so far for the west cost folks to make the treck to the BPG Nationals. Mark
I see you live in Michigan. It may be worth it for you to call the Sloan Museum and find a time to go and visit. :laugh: Mark
