1968 SHELBY REGISTRY – 2020 EDITION.


This may be the last chance to take advantage of the Pre-Production price of $99.00
THIS IS A PRE-PRODUCTION ORDER. PRICE WILL RISE TO $125 (PLUS POSTAGE) AFTER THE BOOK IS PUBLISHED.

Softbound, 1,072 pages with pictures – most of them in color. Also includes updated owner listing, updated individual history of every car, serial number information, accurate production figures, production changes, explanation of options with statistical breakdown, stripe dimensions, mechanical specifications and breakdown of dealer sales.

This is the fourth of the new 5th Edition SAAC Registries. Each one will be printed as a separate book. There will be eight in all, to be printed in this order: 1965 Shelby, Leaf Spring Cobra, ’66 Shelby, 1968 Shelby, Coil Spring Cobra, 1967 Shelby, 1969-70 Shelby, Ford GT40. Print runs will be relatively small and we expect them to sell out quickly. Second printings, if undertaken, will not be immediate so our suggestion is to get a copy now.

My registry just arrived this morning.  I haven't had a lot of time to look at it, but just paging though it I just want to say you guys did a fantastic job with this book.  The information and the number of photos in this edition makes it a must have in my opinion.  Thanks to all involved.

Wife says Covid19 lives on all mail 3 days minimum, we have set of three boxes, day1, day 2, day 3. She’s always been a germ freak, this is what she’s lived for her entire life

Yes, the germs can live on cardboard for two days if infected.  But handlers are wearing gloves and masks.  We wipe off packages with sanitizing wipes.  The possibility of infection from mail is extremely remote according to the CDC.  Of course it does mean that you can delay the opening of your bills for extra days.  Those payments can be hazardous to your health when you see them. 8)

Quick question:  is the binding / cover combination the same as on the new 65 and 66 registries?  I ask, as I ended up with 3 different copies of the 66 registry, as the binding kept popping.

Thanks!

By the magic of electronic communications,  I was just informed that the 1968 Registry has arrived in the Great State of Florida !

The packaging was amazing and second to none. The volume enclosed in two boxes and filled with an absorbent to withstand violent shocks to diminish any damage.

Our hats off to those involved in this mass distribution,  well done and huzzah  !

Remember you can purchase the special edition binder retainers from me, please specify size 55 MMS
thanks in advance for your orders

Aloha.  The canoe has landed in the middle of the Pacific with this specially packed box, which was a bit mangled but the contents  survived perfectly.  This edition for just the 1968 Registry is about the thickness and weight of the entire single 1987 edition SAAC World Registry.  Amazing details and history that keeps being included every ten years.  SAAC and the volunteers that collect and arrange this increasing knowledge base are outstanding.  Unfortunately, when I stood up to applaud, I fell off my surfboard.

@CoralSnake Thank you for that.  At least they ALMOST got it accurate. 

To the Registry: For the record, I'll state it here because I don't know where else to correct it...the Wyoming eBay listing in 6/19 never happened - it was a scam. I was never aware of it.  Someone must have lifted the pictures from the BaT listing where I bought it and tried to represent it as their own.  It has never been offered again for sale since my purchase in 3/19.
