I have it. Not for sale.
However I very rarely use it....but I have over 30 years of experience restoring E Bodies, so I pretty much know which bolts go where.

The copy I have was given to me, personally I wouldn't have spent the money.....I would like to get his E Body detailing guide....

                        If you didn't have 30 years of experiance building E bodies, just built your first Challenger and starting on your second, is it worth buying.    This is assuming you had 40 plus years on and off building old cars.

I guess....It's really deep into "head markings" and such....It does tell you just about every bolt/screw/nut/washer on the car and where they go, but that's only helpful if you have all the original hardware....Just reading it everytime you need something will add 100 hours to your restoration...

Or you just do what a PO of my car did and just use whatever fastener you happen to have laying around.  I think I've got them all changed.

I bought one a couple months ago. It is very detailed and I find it easy to start looking at it and lose track of time. It had to take hundreds if not thousands of hours of research to gather all that into one book. I was hesitant about dropping that much as well, but after I got it and looked it over I really believed it was worth the money. One thing that supports this thought is, you almost never see a used one for sale.
