'69 - '70 total number of cars

[S7MS427]

I don't have copies of the last two registries, but is there a final count for the total number of these cars? I've seen figures like 3300 or so (I'm sure that's 20 years or so out of date) but nothing any more definative. Mongo, Pete?

Easy Peasy

The 1969-70 Shelbee Genie has granted your wish with this lovely Shelby American Automobile Club chart.

These production numbers come from Ford records. It should be noted that many incorrect numbers are in circulation

The Shelby American Automobile Club World Registry has ammended the production numbers previously published, because of the additional records.

For more information contact Vince Liska directly  at SAAC.

The 1969 Shelbys were not built with a strict adherence to consecutive unit numbers. Some numbers were not used.

This is great stuff-thx.  Always wondered though, how many in each class are still alive.

3150 was the figure I was looking for. Thx.

No thank  you for posting that very inquisitive question.

You inspired me to research the one and only true early Shelby authority in the world.
