I just bought my first Corvette yesterday. It is a 95 convertible. Can anyone tell me what books are best for detail maintenance on this corvette, also where is a good place to get a owners manuel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

For any work on the Corvette get the factory service manuals by Helms. It is a 2 volume set. Buy from vendors here, in the C4 parts for sale forum, or on Ebay. The same goes for the owners manual.
Congratulations on getting your Vette. The C4 is a beautifully styled car and gives the driver the feeling he or she is driving something special. Enjoy

Welcome. The FSM is the best reference guide, check C4 parts for sale forum now, theres a guy selling some. Also, you will want to introduce yourself and post a pic of your car in C4 General. Its ok, we dont bite!

You might check the National Corvette Museums website, they can produce replicas of your specific car window sticker and the build (rpo) sheet detailing your options. Not sure about the owners manual, maybe. They also had some dealer brochures.
