Under the Straw Hat – Restorer’s Insight
GM issued just one shop manual to cover 1963, with 1964 and 1965 relying on supplemental updates. That means this book is essential—even for later C2 owners. If you're servicing a 1964 or 1965, you'll need this manual plus the correct year-specific supplement for complete guidance.
