Cobra registery

[kevinR]

The new Registry will be in two volumes. The first one is expected to be the Cobra/GT-40 in 04. The second will be the mustangs a year later (05). The 1997 registry was intended to be the 1995 version. However, there was a large influx of new information and the 1995 version was held up to be certain the new information was included. There is an effort to get a photo of each car for the new set (but no open hood shots). However, for some reason a lot of folks don't send in photos when asked for one.

The quickest way to get a new set. When SAAC starts it's pre-purchase period, sign-up and pay the cost. Places like Classic tend to get them after SAAC sends the pre-purchase ones out. It's correct that you don't have to be a member of SAAC to get one. But then you don't need to own a CSX Cobra/Shelby Mustang to be a member either.

So if you own a CSX Cobra (regardless of series number), GT-40, or Shelby Mustang, contact the appropriate registrar (SAAC website) to be certain your car is properly documented. At this point in time, I can assure many owners of the 4000, 7000, and 8000 series they will be disappointed when they see the new registry and their name is not in it. with over 300 cars built to date, less than 100 are registered. As a SAAC registrar, I can only put in the registry what is documented. Meaning, the registrars can't print what the owners (and historical documents) don't supply.

I hope this helps
