WORLD REGISTRY UPDATE   5/24/2007

Progress continues. What else can we say? We’ve been working on this book for 3 years straight. It will contain information on only Cobras and GT40s. We have uncovered a ton of information that was either previously unknown or never before in print. The book will probably be 1000 pages and have between 1500 and 2000 photos. And it will have dozens of separate chapters containing details and pictures of unique cars or types of cars.

 

Why is it taking so long?

Is there still time to get a photo of your car in the book?

Yes. We will include every good photo we receive: CSX2000 Cobras, CSX3000 Cobras, GT40s, CSX4000, CSX7000, CSX8000, CSX1000, AC MK IVs, ‘04-’06 Ford GTs, Series 1s. Poor quality photos will be rejected (out of focus, only part of the car in the frame, etc). All prints and slides will be promptly returned. Send them to SAAC HQ, PO Box 788, Sharon, CT 06069. Digital images can be emailed to us at  saac@saac.com

So, just when can you expect to see this book?

We only publish a registry every ten years, so it’s impossible to provide an exact delivery date. Right now, our best guess is that we will be sending the finished package to the printer at the end of September. How long the actual printing process will take is impossible for us to estimate. It’s also beyond our control.

How about those special Leather Covered editions?

Yeah, how about them. All 250 were snapped up in less than 5 weeks after we announced their availability. We have had no cancellations – don’t even ask.

Can you still order one at the Pre-Publication price?

Yes. That would be $175 + $15 postage. Check or credit card. We will accept orders at this price until the book goes to the printer. Then we will recalculate the price – because we set it more than 3 years ago and the cost of everything has increased. We’d really prefer that you wait and buy one after they are published because the price will be higher. But no matter how high it is, we will honor the pre-publication price for every one that has been ordered - up to a maximum of 998 (the number of original Cobras made). We’re not there yet, so you still have time to get your order in!

How to order this registry.

You can order one off of the website http://www.saac.com/worldRegistry/index.html. Or you can send us a check for $190 (we’ll know what it’s for). Or you can mail, email or fax us an order. We’ll need your mailing address and a Visa or Mastercard number and expiration date. That’s all it takes. When we get the books we will ship the pre-publication orders immediately.
