The latest edition of SAAC’s World Registry, dedicated to the ’65, ’66, and ’67 Shelbys, is now available.
It’s been 14 years since the last registry was printed and in that time the Shelby American Automobile Club has compiled a stunning amount of new information and has dug even deeper into the production history of these cars. It’s no wonder owners and enthusiasts refer to SAAC’s registry as 'The Bible.'”
Printed in hardcover and 1,350 pages thick with 1,315 black-and-white photos, the book has the serial number and individual history of every Shelby Mustang built in 1965, 1966, and 1967. Also included are separate, detailed chapters on competition cars, prototypes, drag cars, unique models, and Shelby-built Trans-Am notchbacks.
“If there’s anything that’s not in this book, it’s not worth knowing,” says the book’s editor, Rick Kopec.
There are chapters on Shelby values, how to buy a Shelby, fakes and frauds, the Carroll Shelby School of High Performance Driving, the Terlingua Racing Team, and much more. Appendix pages include paint codes, stripe dimensions, serial number locations, a list of mechanical components, explanation of DSO codes, and a glossary of terms unique to these cars.
There’s also a list of every unique part for each year Shelby, a specification page for each separate model, factory technical service bulletins, homologation papers, accurate production figures, production statistics, and an index of past owners.
The club’s registrars - Howard Pardee (’65-’66), Greg Kolasa (Hertz), Dave Mathews (’67). and Gary Underwood (Trans-Am notchbacks - contributed information, including individual histories on each car, from their voluminous files. The foreword was written by Chuck Cantwell, Shelby American’s GT350 Project Engineer.
Price is $200 plus $20 for shipping within the U.S. The book can be ordered directly through the club’s website at www.saac.com.
