Is that right?

All except the Shelby American Cobra/Mustang Guide, Vol. 5, No. 1 which might be 100 or so pages.


The 82 Registry is about 1" thick, mine was so well read and used that the binding is toasted and I now rarely pick it up to move it off the shelf. The 87 registry 1.75", the 97 2.5", each of those incorporating all Cobra/GT40/65-70 Shelby information.

The 2010 and newer registries are broken down in to three separate volumes, each 3" thick. Cobra/GT40's in one, 65-67 Shelbys in another, and the 68-70 on it's way to the publisher soon and threatening to break the scale at the local USPS shop.

The amount of new information is mind boggling to say the least.

That explains a lot. as i said my binding was shot to hell with all the usage(1982).

Is it worth hunting down copies published in the middle(97) since the current ones are updated?
