Ask Santa for a SAAC Registry
 
Ask Santa for a SAAC Registry

(Print this out and leave around the house or mail to the North Pole)

Almost every thread on Club Cobra about some detail of an original Cobra eventually has a post with a reference to the SAAC World Registry of Cobra and GT40s. This book is the definitive source for all the details, the facts and figures and history associated with these cars. The current edition, with over 1600 pages, encompasses all things Cobra, as well as hundreds of pages on the GT40.

More than just a reference by serial number, the SAAC Registry has hundreds of pages of articles about features, history, racing and special models.

The heart of the SAAC Registry is the detailed history of EVERY car by serial number called "Footnotes," compiled over more than thirty years by the SAAC Registrars.

What was the original color of CSX2xxx?. It's there. ...Where is CSX3xxx today? It's there. ...Who drove the P-xxxx GT40 in what race and where? It's there.

Take a look at these page shots.

Yes, I check it and read it all the time, though mostly just to check out the listing of my KMP in the Kirkham section. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

I would like to own a copy of the book and think it would be a great gift to ask of the family since they never know what to get me. How often the book is updated. I believe the Registry includes the Kirkhams and others and I'm curious how you get your vehicle in the Registry and when the book is updated to include new inputs?

About every decade +/-. The last registry was 1997.

For the Kirkhams (at this time) send your information to:

pitcrew@saac.com

Hey Ron excellent idea for those deprived of not having one already. I got mine at SAAC 34 and am having the legends and owners sign mine as I can. My cars in ther too! Hey I tried Kevin Rogers e-mail but got no reply do you have a recent address?

computerworks 12-10-2009 09:12 PM

...keep trying. He is on the road a lot and does not see his registrar-addressed mail for periods of time.

Bob In Ct 12-11-2009 07:41 AM

Exactly who (what) is allowed into the registry?

Bob

Ron61 12-11-2009 09:00 AM

Bob,

Looking in mine I see all Shelby Cobras, original and present, AC and Autocraft Cobras, Kirkham Cobras, and Superformance. I may have missed some as I never looked at the index.

Ron

RodKnock 12-11-2009 09:54 AM

For clarification, the SPF's in the registry are the GT40's and Daytona Coupes, not the Cobras.

I can see it. You've got the SACC registry right next to your computer. You alternate between glances at the book and posts on CC...and of course an occasional sprint to the garage to look at your car. :LOL::)

Nedsel 12-11-2009 11:31 AM

As a clarification, the last registry was not published in 1997, but in 2008, and that is the book being discussed here.

RodKnock 12-11-2009 11:37 AM

Ned, I should have said the last complete registry was published in 1997, which included the Shelby Mustangs, etc.

Hi Ron,

Do you know in Kirkham sent in information all the chassis numbers they sold?

I am curious if my #318 was included as I didn`t fill out my form

Maurice Lawrence

computerworks 12-11-2009 02:38 PM

KMP318 is in the Registry...with a picture.

maurice19 12-11-2009 02:43 PM

Thanks
Maurice

I just bought one of those books but now I have a hernia, happened when I went out to the mail box to bring it into the house.

MOTORHEAD 12-14-2009 10:54 AM

Kirkham
 
Ron: is it too late to get one by Christmas? If it's not a bother, could you please check to see if KMP0028 is in there? I sent my information in more than once, but don't remember who asked for it. (saac, kirkham, who?)
Thanks,
Ted
