The Corvette section of the Chevrolet Parts and Accessories Catalog from GM Parts Division, effective October 1972 with pages revised through April 1975. It covers every Corvette from the 1953 six-cylinder roadster to the 1975 coupe and convertible. Reference tables come first: rear axle identification codes, engine data and power teams by year, paint charts and an illustration index. Then come exploded drawings with part names, group numbers and many part numbers, arranged by Chevrolet parts group from Group 0 (engine and clutch) to Group 14 (folding top and interior trim). The illustration index lists Group 12 (metal trim and body panels), but those pages are not in this copy.

Pages 1–8 (8 pages)
