Rare Leather bound Carroll Shelby signed Shelby American Automobile Club registry 1 of 150. In 1997 the last Shelby registry was produced. This was a massive effort to create this bible and wealth of knowledge concerning Shelby American cars from the 1960's. Of the few thousand copies made only 150 Leather covered registries were produced in 1997. The original cost in 1997 was $200 each. These had black leather covers, with an embossed SAAC logo on the front and silver letters on the spine.
Each copy had a special front page featuring a portrait of Carroll Shelby by noted automotive artist Lawrence Gardinier II. Prior to printing, 150 blank sheets were given to Carroll Shelby who signed them in a blue pen. When it came time to print the books the black & white illustration of Shelby was printed on the signature page, and then it was pasted onto the back side of the front cover. Only the 150 leather volumes had this signature page. In all other books (approx. 7000 were printed) that page was blank. Because the books came from the printer shrink-wrapped, it was not possible to open each one to number them . These books were only available to SAAC members, who were able to reserve a copy on a first come/first served basis. This is one of 150. The 1997 SAAC registry has been out of print for some time now and conventional issues are bring a few hundred dollars when they come up for auction. This is a rare collectors item that is still shrink wrapped from the printer and in mint shape. The pictures are hard see the leather binding because the glare the shrink wrap gives off. The picture of Shelby's signed portrait has been taken from another book that was opened. This I what the signed portrait in this book looks like if it were opened. Don't miss this opportunity to own a true piece of collectable Shelby memorabilia. Winner pays actual shipping cost. Good luck bidding !
