How do I find repairs manual like Haynes for 1973 Dodge Midas and how do I get blue book values for cars older than 15 years.

Try an e-Bay search. Most cars older than 15 years have little or no value…For “Classic” cars, try a source like Hemmings…

There are no blue book values on vehicles that are that old. Manuals should be available, check online stores like Summit Racing (guys, I swear I don’t work there, they are just walking distance from my house). You might notice a lot of aftermarket on older vehicles and try buying manuals for Mopar Motors, Holly Carbs, et cetera et cetera.

This is a motor home, right? Are you wanting a repair manual for the truck chassis or the motorhome part?

To value, look at [nadaguides.com](http://nadaguides.com) for rec vehicles values tab, then motor home, Midas. This goes back to 1975, which may be as close as you can get.
