From the Author
A thank you to GTO hobbyists from the author
My sincere thanks to the tens of thousands of GTO enthusiasts who have purchased GTO Restoration Guide. When Chuck Roberts and I wrote it, we had no idea it would become, as Dennis Kirban called it, "The GTO Bible." We thank you and hope you enjoy using the book as you restore your GTO!

Customer Reviews

Disapointed
This book is not really a restoration guide, it is more like a parts catalogue. There is very little info on how to restore a GTO. Instead it is just a book of endless part numbers with some exploded diagrams. Also the chapters are confusing, they should be divided by the year of the car. Instead the chapters include all years on the same topic. You can be on one page reading about a console for a 67 GTO and you turn the page and all of the sudden you are looking at a dash board for a 72 GTO! A very poor efort.

GTO Bible, the best book available for GTO resto's...
I would have to disagree with the previous review of this book. I attempted to restore my GTO without the benefit of the 'GTO Bible' (actually the edition available at the time I carried out my resto, only had info on models up to 1970) and alot of information I needed to do things 'correctly' were simply not available from other sources. Thus without having had the benefit of performing a restoration prior to this, many things on my GTO are not 'as they should be'. When the second edition (which now includes the 1971-72 models - my car is a 72 hardtop coupe) appeared I snatched it up. After reading through it, I realized how much closer to 'factory' I could have gotten, had I possessed this info. Granted, some of the information is a little 'out-of-sync' in certain parts of the book. But for the most part, I found the information fairly clear. Remember, 'resto-guide' type books are just that, guides. All good restoration projects should have a 'plan-of-attack'. If some information is lacking, then you will have to do some research. That is what POCI, and other Pontiac/GTO enthusiast clubs are all about! To the authors, I thank you for providing all GTO enthusiasts/owners with a reliable and comprehensive guide for keeping our vehicles in factory condition (for future generations to enjoy). I am already thinking about re-restoring my 1972 to factory concours condition (after all there are not alot of these cars left). Thanks for the chance to comment
