My wife keeps asking why I keep this around, I said I thought it was somewhat collectable. What do you think ?

Doesn't hurt to keep it around. They always make good quick reference material. However they are not collectible. See the completed auction below. Sold for $2.99

Perfect reference material as soon as you pick your next 83 Vette up off of Craigslist... Not too many 83 reference books left !!

I can't think of one thing that the Chilton's or Hayne's manuals have in them that is not in the Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual. But, the Chevy manual has TONS of information that is not in those other two.

Collectable? Only if you have a "Haynes" or "Chilton" fetish...

Look at it this way. I doubt that is the only thing you have laying around that you don't use. Besides it takes up very little room if we are looking at the bright side.
I hope this helps in your decision on whether or not to keep it.
