This page is arranged as a checklist so that you can print it and keep track of what you have.
The list was originally going to cover just the cars from the 50's, 60's, and 70's that came with the Pontiac V8, but I decided to add 3rd gen. Firebirds, Fieros, GM, and a few other things as well. I am staying away from listing factory literature like shop/body manuals and dealer albums, etc. because it is just too vast.
If you have any books that are not on the list please send me information about them. Also, if you have any of the books that I don't, see if you can help me fill in some of the blanks that I have marked with a "?", or correct anything you see wrong.
