Just goes to show you how odd eBay can be. The book can be found at a
number of Internet booksellers (try bibliofind.com for starters) for $200
plus or minus $50.

It's not. I bought a copy at Colorado Car Books for... I think about $20.
It wasn't hard to find, either. That store has dozens of books on all
makes and models of car, plus delightful books like "Going Faster" and
"Practical Engine Swapping".
