Kevin, Rick's first generation camaro has it: 1-800-359-7717. I have it and it is a very interesting book.

I'll never be that quick!!!!!!!!!!!! You might want to get Jerry MacNeish's "The definitive 1969 camaro Z/28-SS396 fact book" also a very good book at the same place.

I'd recommend Jerry's book over Hooper's. Hooper's has a lot of small errors throughout.

From my personal experience I would recommend obtaining all the available reference books on the market. I have most if not all. When I purchased Hoopers book, when it was first out, it led to me understand about "Little Hoss", and Fred Gibb. At the time I was only interested in 1967 Z28's. I remembered that info. when checking on an old race car. It turned out to be "Little Hoss", and within 5 minutes I had confirmed and purchased the car. Whatever info. available for those wanting to consume data should be aquired for future reference. I would recommend both above books, and others, check out Motorbooks, in Oseola, Wi. Many books list current owners of cars, another source of valuable information when deciding to purchase a vehicle, or uncover hidden treasures.

Check on ebay from time to time - they are on there all the time. All three of John Hooper's 1967-1969 Camaro books are on there right now. Craig.

68TopStock,
I am 100% with you. They ALL contribute something. Many of the pictures had clear shots of tracable licence plates as well.

Awesome story about "Little Hoss"!

I agree...by reading various camaro books you can sometimes cross reference information or find new info which was not mentioned in a previous book. When John Hooper was gathering info and photos for his book "The 1969 Camaro Reference Book From "A" to "Z" " ...he had asked if I could contribute some info or photos so I sent him about 15 photos of areas of my car (it's an automatic car) and he put a color photo in the book (page 71) and several other photos in chapter 24 "Yenko S/C" ( pages 265 & 267 )...I was glad I could help contribute even though my car is not 100% original. I had also sent a lamanated copy of the "Wanted" Phase III Camaro ad which he put on the last page of the "Motion Performance" chapter. ....so check out various books...you learn something new everyday!
