I'm going to guess that you meant 1969-70 Shelby ;D

Great News,
When do we send in 66 updates?
Hi 6S2020,
In an email from the club, the note says the order of updating and publishing is:
1) 65 Shelby
2) Leaf spring Cobra
3) 66 Shelby
4) Coil Spring Cobra
5) 1967 Shelby
6) 1968 Shelby
7) 1968-70 Shelby
8 ) Ford GT40
This is exactly as typed in the email. I expect No. 7 update is 1969-70 Shelbys.
On your 66 Shelby update, you have a little time to send in updates, but I wouldn't wait long and get any updates or photo's in very soon.
Best of luck
Cory
Ordered.
Ordered one also just for the history and pure reading enjoyment.
Steve
Who ordered first....
Shouldn't the first few people get a mystery surprise with their order?

1965 Shelby registry received today (France)
Thank you :)
The 1997 registry allowed you to look up an owners name and it listed which car/cars that person owned with the current owner being in bold. That went away with the last round of registries.
For those that have the new registry, what do you like/dislike or is different in the 2019 version?

My 2011 registry had the same listing.
I am not a current SAAC member, have been in the past, Can one preorder the '67 & GT40 registries now, or do you have to wait till they are announced ? Is there a link ? I might have missed that ::)

The most visible difference is the arrival of color in the photos.
Obviously it is updated and has 172 p. of description (115 p. in 2011 and 19p. in 1997 but in 97 writen much smaller)
It's awesome that we have another set of registries coming out.

They're now taking pre-orders on the Leaf Spring Cobras. The order of publication will be:
1965 Shelby
Leaf Spring Cobra
1966 Shelby
Coil Spring Cobra
1967 Shelby
1968 Shelby
1969-70 Shelby
Ford GT40
So it will be a little while before the '67 edition will be available for pre-order. If you're a SAAC member you should get an email when each issue is ready. If not then just keep you eyes open here on the forum I suppose. Or maybe watch the main SAAC site.
(Note: I returned and updated this post on March 3, 2019. This info now matches what SAAC just sent in a email to members.)
Steve
Received the new registry, it's very nice. Kind of has a high school yearbook vibe to it. :) :)

Mike,
First, as Membership Director, I would invite you to re-join. Contact us a saac.com and follow the Membership links.
No, you cannot pre-order the '67 & GT40 registries now. We, as volunteers, have too much to do already, and taking orders too early will just require us to answer constant email like, "When will my registry be shipped?"
As a member, you would get notified when the books are available (hint, hint). Hope we see you back soon.
Jay Talbott
Jut got mine!
The addition of color is nice.
And my car is pictured not once, but twice...
It's erroneously pictured with the listing of car #169. My car is of course #159. I'm not sure where the picture came from as I didn't submit the one printed with #169. The number of the car is on the door but I guess it slipped by?
Mike C
You guys must have been fast on the keyboard!
I placed my registry order 37 minutes after receiving the SAAC pre-order e-mail and haven't received a copy yet.
Or maybe the Pony Express riders into Boise are taking a breather ;)
Received my copy on Saturday 3/2 in NH. Very nice. I'm looking forward to having the full set eventually.
Just received two of my three ordered copies and I am super impressed. This book is the quintessential coffee table companion to the big book and with it being in color is truly awesome! Thank you!

Good question. I'm located in San Antonio and haven't received mine either. I'm patient, but the suspense is killing me! ;D
I'm in Pasadena (adjacent to Houston) and I haven't received mine yet.
Steve
I'm in Longmont, Co. and have not received mine yet.
I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and have not gotten mine yet either so I will just work on the Shelby and go for a cruise. Not a problem. 8)
I am in Ontario, Canada and have not received mine yet either.
Hm,live in Norway(Europe).Recieved mine last week! 😳
Vancouver, Canada, and ditto...still waiting. Would sending a shipment tracking number upon shipping be an idea for the next batches of Registries?
In San Antonio, no registry has arrived. Did they have to have a supplementary printing?
Mine arrived today.
Canoe arrived today with my copy. Aloha! 8)
Arrived today - Houston, TX area.

Good question. I ordered mine recently, after the initial 'rush' on pre-orders, so hopefully I (we) didn't get caught out.
Got mine in KC Monday 3/11/19.
Mine arrived in today in good condition.
Worth the wait!
got mine yesterday
Returned home from vacation yesterday, mine was in the held mail, a bright point among all the bills!
Got mine today! San Antonio.
Haven't got mine yet. Anybody else in the same situation?
Texas Swede
Still waiting. I ordered on March 4.
mine came in .
as of today no delivery in the capitol of the world miami...
if any of you has ever sent anything media mail (which is the most reasonable way to ship! ) the post office will treat these as last priority . I used to do the mailings for the Northwoods Region and we had a bulk mail permit and it might take 3 weeks for everyone to get one and that was just one state
I've received my '65 Registry and it's been a great read, however, I couldn't find a particular piece of info. Does this new book state anywhere how many GT350s were completed at the Carter Rd, Venice, location? I see on Pg 14 where it discusses the first 110 Mustangs which were delivered from SJ to the Venice location, but nothing about SFM serial numbers completed before the May? move to LAX.
Thanks!

In the old registry or maybe the new one too, it's noted that up to car 5S069 was the last number finished at Venice, but the actual count was about 45 cars with completed dates before/on March 8, 1965 (not counting 001/002/003), which is the same day 5S069 was completed.
I'm not sure I have seen an actual date that production shifted to LAX. There was a 1 week break in 'cars finished' between Tuesday 3/9/65 and Tuesday 3/16/65 with 5S060 being the only car 'finished' that day. The next day, 12 cars were finished on 3/17/65.
Wisconsin just arrived fyi-

Thanks for this! You're right, I re-read page 12 of the new '65 Registry and it states that end of March is when GT350 production picked up in the new (LAX) location with the new facility's grand opening being end of May.
So I'm guessing since the first batch of 110 SJ Mustangs were completely delivered to SA-Venice by Jan 4th, '65, that before production began in March at LAX, they had transported/driven the remaining unfinished knocked-down Mustangs to the LAX site?

Might be better to split off into another topic...
Of the 110 cars received by Jan 4 (I think 5019 arriving by itself on that day could be an accounting error), all of them had work started except 5S109/110/111/112/113, which those appear to be the first ones started at LAX on 3/29. Hard to say what the condition of unfinished cars were and if they were trailered or driven to LAX. It took until 4/26 to finish the 45 or so street cars and some of the R models that were originally received at Venice. I guess the balance of the 110 cars were R models started/not-started.
What's interesting is that of the 2nd batch starting to be received on 3/19, the first one wasn't completed until 4/23 (5S163). Starting on 4/26, the completion of cars really started to take off.
Ordered mine on January 29, but still haven't got it.

Why is there no list of owners, and previous owners, like in the last '65 thru '67 registry. That was very nice to have when looking up who owned each car over the last 50 years. Maybe it can be included in the future ones. Ron

In the new Registry, literally the entire last half of the book is exactly what you're asking about; each car's detailed history with previous owners listed. Obviously some cars don't have complete info listed if the Registrars never received updates but most cars have some details.

Rocket is talking about an index of owners with corresponding VIN numbers after all of the registry entry's. You can look up by owner's last name and then see which car/cars are tied to their name, then you can flip to the entry and read the details. The latest 1968-1970 book didn't have it either. I imagine it is a much larger task to undertake. Most likely very time consuming. I think the previous book spoiled us with that part.... ;D No complaints here, the book is an awesome reference source that not a lot of other car marque's have in our hobby.

I'm disappointed to hear the "Shelby Owners Index" has gone away.
:'(
I can't tell you how many times I've used the list of owners to help identify a car written in a story online, in a magazine, or at auction.
You can then follow up by reading the footnotes for more info on that car.
It's such a beneficial resource that will be greatly missed!

+1. I find the owner index very helpful. Maybe the registrars can include in the subsequent registries, i.e. 1966+.
Cory
Am I the only guy still waiting to receive mine? Seems like it's taking an awful long time to show up...
The owner's index would be great. Probably a click on the computer would do the trick. I don't know how many times I've met an old owner who doesn't remember his serial number, but with his name, it's really easy to look it up. Ron
Still haven't got my registry ordered on January 29th.

it has disappeared in the mail.
