I just bought it on ebay today for $10. It was a brittish book written in 1990. I'm looking forward to getting it. I was just wondering if anybody has seen it or read it before.

YES! It's an awesome book if it's the same one I've seen. It has some cool pictures of a 79/80/81 Camaro Pace Car! Thats right! They has some track cars to use, can't remember the exact year. Great score. Anymore on Ebay?

Jim, I'm looking at mine now. I picked it up at K-mart in a bargain bin about 3 years ago.
Lots of neat 1st gen pics as well. Review the book then let us know what you think about it.

I have a Trans-Am book written by the same guy. It is a great book! It is out of print like the Camaro book, so it will be very hard to find.

I just got the book today. Good book. Lots of thirdgen pics. I found a few errors (I always do ) but overall it's a great book. Well worth the $10 I paid

I love the upside down pic of the TPI engine on page 99.
