THE "OLD" SHELBY AMERICAN WORLD REGISTRY
The 3rd Edition of the Shelby American World Registry, printed in 1997, was out
of print for a while. But due to the demand for it, we had a small quantity
reprinted and they are now available. Why the demand for a ten year-old
registry? Because while the owner information may be dated, nothing else in this
1336-page book is. Information on the basic details about every car that Shelby
had anything to do with as well as everything else – serial number decoding and
locations, stripe dimensions, colors, options, running production changes, part
numbers, etc. – is still accurate.
We are presently working on the NEXT
edition of the registry (click here to order). There is so much
information that we gad to split it into 2 separate volumes. And we can only
work on one volume at a time. The first one to go to the printer will be the
volume containing information on Cobras and GT40s. We expect this book to be
more than 1000 pages and to be ready for the printer by the very end of the
year. We are taking orders for it now.
Once Vol. 1 goes off to the printer we start working on Volume 2 - Shelby
Mustangs and Shelby Trans-Am cars. We estimate this book will take 1 1/2 - 2
years to complete. As a result, if someone is in need for basic information on
Shelbys, it will be at least 2 years before it will be available in the new
book. Two years is a long time to wait, so this explains the demand for the 1997
edition.
The price is the same as it was ten years ago: $125,00. Postage rates have
increased, so priority mail inside of the US is $15.00. Total is $140.00.
Books sent to Canada or overseas are sent via air mail and postage for this will be billed additionally to your credit card.
