Needed: New or Used 87 Supra Factory Repair Manual

I need the real deal. 1987 Toyota Supra. I have the Chilton and
Haynes books. Total crap.

I've checked eBay and Google and can't find anything.

If somebody has one for sale, I'd be interested.

Thanks.

Bob

I'm curious as to everyones views that chiltons are crap. I have one
for my '91 celica and i have had access to the factory books. They were
near-identical and certainly for all the technical side of things
(engine/elec) seemed almost flawless. Bodywork parts left something to
be desired but they arent on my priority list.

It's for a '91, but a lot of stuff is the same:

HaHaHaHa, identical. Now that's funny.

The Chilton manual's are for someone that does not have the required skill or knowledge. It
provides instructions on 'how to' change a fan belt for example.

The factory manuals (my model has 4 or 5) are intended for trade technicians that have
the skill and knowledge. It does not provide instructions on 'how to" change a fan belt for example.

For what its worth (0.2c) I would think the Chilton (or Hanes) manual's would be the
better choice for most owners.
