Mark,

I have no idea about the cover being real or not. I received the same letter with the picture that was posted on page 1 of this thread. I am just anxious to receive it so I can start reading about what has happened to the cars over the years since the 1997 Registry came out. I was just late getting my order in, so your #110 and below are going to be more impressive.
As for when I receive it, the way our mail up here works I receive my magazines about 1 month after everyone else on the club who subscribes to the same ones do. So I should receive mine around the last of September based on that.

Ron

Is it true it is a sin to take the wrapper off the 'bible"?

Default It's Here

Well if I got mine all the way out here in Vegas yesterday, everyone should have their's by today. I get my Snakebite at least 3 days later than those on the East Coast. Perhaps it has to do when you paid for it.

I totally forgot about it also.

So you decided to close your shop on Saturday? I'm going on Sunday. See you there.

What's up with the PA post office? I haven't gotten mine yet either.

Unlike others who ordered their numbered leather bound versions many years ago, I procrastinated and ordered the rarest of the registries, the unnumbered leather bound.

Yay! Got mine today. I helped a bit with the king cobra section, be sure to read that. Rick did a great job. I even got him to sneak some Bob McKee info in there. The Gerber-Payne / Peregrine / McKee Mk III has recently been found (with a Lola T70 coupe body on it). I saw it at Road America and met owner Casey Putsch

www.putschracing.com

He originally thought it was the McKee Mk I but Bob figured out it is the Mk III based on the wider bulkheads to accomodate a 427 or Quad Cam Ford.

Wow...so do mine especially when I'm reading sitting on the pot. A paperback is a great idea.

CSX3183,

Mine never came today either. I guess every state East of here gets preferential treatment. I will be surprised if I receive mine before the middle or end of next month based on how much longer it takes a regular magazine to get here. Most people have theirs at least 3 to 4 weeks before those of us up here in the Northern part of the state get ours.

Ron

Got mine today but I paid for the leather bound edition and received the cardboard one........not a real real happy camper.

At least my car made it in it.

Finally got around to ordering mine and received it yesterday! My first look at one and how cool! A great foreward by Mr. Brock and tons of historical knowledge. Many thanks to Mr. Kopec and the rest of the team for putting together such a great book! Well worth the wait and the price!!!

I've never looked at the registry. Does it show (if the information is available) who the past owners of a car were?

There were two Cobras near where I grew up in the SF Bay Area. One (CSX 3119) was owned by pro golfer Ken Venturi and is now part of the Mallya Collection in Sausilito, CA.

I think the other car was a 289 (my memory is fuzzy) owned by a gentleman named Peter Grassi in Menlo Park, CA. Always wondered what happened to that car.

From my initial scan it appears to only list current owners by chassis number, but I will check and see if there is more detail...
