Nope.

Every car is a little bit different, so there is no documentation on everything that was done for / to all of them.

The best source for original details for your car is your car.

Again no, Chrysler was the best engineering company that had limited resources and would by from, let say, Ace Hardware to keep the production line running, so there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to write a book that says this is solid, this is the way it was done, so there will never be a book that will tell you this info, this world ain't Ferd or Chivvy...

The "book" is actually facts from a gazillion references that are out there. One book doesn't cover it all. There is no "book".

If it will help, you are welcome to get with me and pick my brains on your car. I have been restoring cars for over 30 years and recently retired. But my knowledge, and sources, are still available. I have compiled many books and notes on cars and can be a good resource for you. I can even help you find the parts you need (including those pieces of unobtainium) through all my resources. I have done this for years (including helping out other major restoration shops) and would love the opportunity to work with you. PM me

There are books out there for various makes and models, but no all encompassing manuals. I am pretty much the expert on 67-69 Darts and get dozens of calls and emails each week from people looking to restore those cars, that is what sites like Moparts are all about so people can find and use the resources that are out there.

Would it be a better plan to start with a project that is more complete? A project that will take years will deprive you of the joy of driving a finished machine. It's nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just sayin. Good luck with it.

You have a DD, you have a street brawler, you're working on a restoration. You have everything under control

Helpful? Yes, absolutely, lots of good info. in them. But they are not a "Holy Mopar Book" . You'll not find such a book, it does not exist.

Unfortunately, no such book exists. There are only separate parts about the models. Although it would be great if something like that were created. Although I want to look, just recently found coursework writing, used https://edubirdie.com/coursework-writing for this. I often do so because I do not want to do everything myself. All the more I have free time.
