The Board of Directors of SAAC held an in-person meeting last Saturday in Connecticut. The purpose was to review the strategy for the future of SAAC.
The meeting began on Friday night and carried through mid day Saturday. Lots of ideas and discussion, something that the board tries to do at the conventions but never really finds the time to sit and throw ideas around with all the demands of running the convention. The Registrars attended on Saturday.
The preservation and protection of the history of these important cars remains the mission of SAAC. To carry out that mission, SAAC will begin to publish Registries on a single model year or type, publishing the printed Registries on a more frequent basis that in the past. The objective will be a model year new registry every twelve months, give or take. The format will be like the current SAAC Annual, a soft bound book that will contain the history and story of the model and its development, including all new information obtained since last publication, combined with individual car histories and color photos of as many chassis as we can obtain.
We outlined a schedule of publication and are off and running. Stay tuned and gather your best color photos

Excellent news. Dedication to history/preservation like this is part of what makes SAAC a great club.
Way to go, guys!!
Very good! I'll get my pen warmed up for when the time comes
Very Awesome!!
I'll throw in my 2c and say every other year might be more "economical."
Let me know if u need any help.....
Yeah happy to help
Cheers
Awesome news! I'll get my photo and description ready. Guess I've got a few years before the next 68 registry comes out but I'll be ready.

Great to hear about all this. Keep up the valuable and much-appreciated good work you all do for all of us. I'll be able to contribute one day. I hope that it will be a project car that needs rescuing, as all the Shelby projects need, NOW.
I may be missing something, but after I fill in the form with all my car's info, how do I "submit" the form to SAAC?

Reply #3 above has the link to do the update electronically. At the end of it is a "Submit Entry" button.
It is awesome to know the results of your meeting. I am excited to hear of the direction and appreciate the protection of the registries.
At the bottom of the form (on my computer) is a white box to list past owners...nothing more, no "Submit " button or arrow to continue to a second page. Anyone else seeing the same?

You can contact the registrar directly. Here is a list of their emails. http://www.saac.com/contact_us.html (http://www.saac.com/contact_us.html)

It should look like this with the specific registrar info below it.
I would reccomend not to do it on a yearly basis. Probably in twenty four months intervolts.
Be well
Tony, I think the idea would be to produce a registry for a particular year of Shelby or the Cobras at one year intervals. That would mean a new registry for each group of cars every 4 - 6 years or so. And that would not only be doable, but provide new data at appropriate intervals.

gotcha mr ned. +1
I tried to contact the GT40 registrar Greg Kolasa but never got a reply. Does he have a new e-mail address?

Try again, sometimes there is a delay in responding, or they have not looked in a SPAM folder as new e-mails sometimes go there.
What about the other cars with " Carroll Shelby's Magic Elixir?" Consider the High Performance Driving School cars. What about the transporters? How about the Mexican and Belgian Shelby's? What about the Thunderbirds? Will these vehicles finally get a dinner .... eh, I mean a registry? How about those Shelby Mavericks? Really, Shelby Mavericks!! Maybe some people have a Shelby, but just don't know it. Do these vehicles deserve preservation, care, history, and enjoyment like the Cobras and Mustangs? Maybe SAAC should consider a British, Mexican, Belgian, and Global Registrar. This registry could be an interesting read.
