I have one. I also have the books. The CD is great. You can print out what you want and make notes all over them. Get grease on them, rip 'em up when they don't make sense...... :lol2:

Alright alright. I guess there is no doubt about it If you all say so I´m convinced . If Neal says it´s Ok I´m going for it. ( I´ve bought valvecovers and xr7 hubcaps from him last year , He is a very nice pal . I really trust him and his advice)
Thank you all
Wonderful with friends you can “talk” with when things are a little bit uncertain

It´s not fun when you pay lots of $ and there is no stuff coming!!

By the way I´m looking for a workshopmanuel for my ( sorry should be my wife’s ) red Firebird. Anyone who know if there is some CD versions out there ??

What year firebird....i know there isnt one for 67/68...My buddy has a Firechicken and if they made a cd he would have it.

Thanks
Matt

I certainly know what it's like to get ripped off on ebay. Can't say I would blame anyone for being cautious. There are some rogues out there willing to prey on the trusting masses.

The one offered under the number you posted has been sold. It says it's an official Ford licensed product. That would have been well worth $20.

There have been others on ebay offering similar manuals. The CD itself has little or no writing on it, and it IS NOT the real thing; it's a copy, and the quality is POOR.

Don't waste your money on the poor-quality copies...they're not suitable for our needs.

Swede , It´s safe to buy from him,akilawolf is OK. I bought my ShopManual from him .
I had the CD in my hand within a week.

Swede,
just my $2.00 but i own both of the CD's one from this guy and one from detroit iron as i was going to do a follow up to a article i did in TCCN comparing the two but unfourtanatly we shut down before i did so. Both have what your looking for but in ease of usage the detroit iron CD beats the 20.00 one hands down. now it is also twice as much but it is a stamped cd not burned it also uses paperport viewer not adobe which is supplied with the cd and it comes with more information. it is much easier to jump from topic to topic and navigate. Like i said i won both and will only buy the detroit iron one from now on. The short comings of detroit iron though is if you own several diffrent cars you will need tech support to set up the configuration but the up side is they have great tech support. you can usually find the detroit iron cd on ebay for around 39.99 every day and here is the kicker. you can really bid on any one they have because they ask you to specify what year and make you want i bid on one for a 78 pontaic and got it for my 57 bird. i learned this after ordering the one for my 69 cat. The 20.00 cd i find hard to navigate and you have to page through things alot more. I am working on putting a franken puter in the garage and keeping it just for my manuals with an old printer. i will never buy paperback manuals again i like them that much so whichever you decide to go with i feal you will like them as an alternative to the published manuals.

I was thinking of print the whole shopmanual out to paper form at my work on a laserprint. I can do several copies. One for my "libery" and one for dirty garage job and one for ...... you know. Whould it be any difference betwen them if you going for print
Thanks Tommy

Well Matt
Mias Firebird is a 1968 ....so I guess there is no option for a CD shopmanuell then ? . And the paper version is so hevy so it will probebly be more money for shippingcosts then for the book it self .ROFL.
If you have any ide, It would be great
Tommy

Detroit iron sells all types of manuals for all types of cars pre 74 so suggest you check them out for all your needs especially if your over seas. shipping is way cheap. compared to a ton of 5 inch manuals.

 

[69XR7]

Matt
