Wanted: '77 Inspector's Guide

I'm trying to locate and purchase the 1977 Oldsmobile Inspectors Guide book. Had a lead on one but it bombed.

Thanks in advance for any assistance offered in locating this book for me.

Just wanted to update this post with a description of what this guide offers.

It's a non color catalog, 4 x 6.5 with 40 pages showing several different wheels and covers on one page and small illustrations of models on a couple of pages, otherwise unillustrated . This book was produced in limited quantities for assembly 1977 Oldsmobile assembly line inspectors . When cars were being produced there were many mechanical specifications and interior/exterior body features, etc., that had to be complied and referenced.

I'm still looking for one....

I believe I have this one. I've already posted some of these Inspectors Guides on Wild About Cars, but nothing newer than 1972 yet. I'll see if I have it and try to get that posted now asap.

You can email me at kurt.shubert@wildaboutcars.com

Hey Kurt! How are you man?

Thanks, if you have it that would be awesome. I need to take a look at Wild About Cars, I've seen the name a few times but haven't been on the site to look around.

Keep me posted on what you find.

I have them all up through 1984, missing 1973 and 1979. I may have the others somewhere, but I found these now. I'll get it scanned and posted asap.
Some of the years have multiple releases.

Cool!

I'll be watching for your post. Funny you mention 73 and 79, I'm working on a deal to purchase originals (both years) as we speak. If the deal goes through, I'd be more than happy to scan them for you, if you'd like. If you don't have them, of course.
