If you're one of the lucky people looking to restore yours (or perhaps just to repair or rebuild it), you're going to need parts. To get parts, you're going to need information. To get that information, you're going to want this book! Why? It will greatly assist you in identifying and sourcing the necessary parts for your vintage Chevy. This book is titled "Impala Super Sport Used Parts Buyers Guide 1961 - 1969". What exactly makes this book so handy? It shows you how to find all of the alternate sources for your factory-correct parts. You'll discover that this guide has been passionately assembled by Paul Herd, a knowledgeable and prolific author of restoration and interchange manuals. His expertise can save you hours and could mean the difference in success and failure locating original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
Some parts on cars are only manufactured for a specific model, but many are what are called "line parts". Line parts are manufactured for use on multiple models (and often for multiple years). Another way of saying line parts is "interchangeable". By using the same parts on more than one vehicle (and carrying over from year to year), it helps to keep down the design and production costs. It also has another tremendous benefit to you. It means that in many cases, you won't have to restrict your parts searches to the exact same year and model car as the one on which you are working. By taking this informative guide with you to the salvage yards, swap meets (and search engines), you'll be able to access the Impala SS used parts guidance information and locate factory correct parts from alternative source vehicles such as Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Nova, Ventura II or even Chevrolet and GMC trucks! They're the exact same parts, you now just have much better chances of finding them! You'll quickly find and appreciate that this helpful guide has been prepared in such a way as to make the searching for interchangeability options both quick and easy.

Let's take a look at an example from the book. If you are working on a 1968 - 1969 Impala Super Sport 2-door hardtop and looking for a hinge for your deck lid, the guide will refer you to interchange number 7. By looking at interchange 7, you'll find the following information...Part Number(s) 9715312 (fits either side) Usage: 1968-1970 full-size Chevrolet, except Custom or Caprice; 1968-1970 full size Oldsmobile except Delta 98 or Toronado; 1968-1970 full-size Buick; 1968-1970 full-size Pontiac; all two -door hardtop. Within seconds, you've just increased your list of potential donor vehicle by hundreds of thousands of other cars to potentially source your factory correct parts.
Utilizing this guide, you will enormously increase your probability of success when it comes to factory parts searches for your classic Impala SS, but that's not all. Let's say you're going to go the reproduction parts route instead; this book can still help to save you time and money. How? Often those parts still use the OEM number. Also, many times Impala parts will be priced higher, or will be harder to find than parts for a Chevelle, Camaro or Nova, even though they are the exact same part! If you know your interchange options, you'll have better odds of finding the parts. You can also shop around to determine the best prices.
In addition to all of the valuable text information found within these pages, you'll find that over 200 handy visual aids, such as excellent black and white photographs, illustrations, tables and exploded-view diagrams, etc. have been included for greater clarity.
