6-Speed Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Can't find any info on it. Looking for the Publisher and ISBN number. Thanks, Ron It's advertised in the latest Shelby Performance Parts catalog on page 43 for $25.95 - ACC-BOOK-1049.

Ripthedealeroff Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 This book is a limited edition. Only 500 made! I tried to bid on one on EBAY, but it went for $138. Publisher says the book is sold out!! I thought they were making 1000....Oh that was the 40th anniversary package that dropped to 500 due to popular demand...you go girl!!!

shel-b001 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Shelby says they have a backorder of these books coming, but you need to get on a list. I think they just like lists. Any ADM?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP64 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I thought they were making 1000....Oh that was the 40th anniversary package that dropped to 500 due to popular demand...you go girl!!! Yep, you got that one right...Did anyone notice that the 725HP Super Snake jumped up to $31K from the original $28K price tag? I'm sooooo glad I backed out of the Super Snake package. It's great for those that want to keep their car forever and have to have the CSM number, but for those of us that don't give a rip about the CSM number, $31K is a whole lot of money to dump into a GT500 to make it better handleing and faster than SAI will ever make them for the public... Just my 2-cents... WP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyRay Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Special book ya right... Everytime Ford or Shelby has something neat to buy they,ll say you want one? How bad to you want one? Ha Ha youuuuuuuuuuu can't have it!! Pretty soon we will not want one if they keep this attitude up. This goes along with the oh please will you mark up my car..please please add a high ADM. Oh thank you can I have another! OK about the so called book thats ( limited...don't tell nobody though) . I think most of us have already read every Shelby article magazine for the last 2 yrs!!!or more. So there's nothing we had'nt aleady seen or read..big deal...After awhile we get tried of the nut and shell game...... Man anymore it seems the more we like or appreciate something the more they pour the hot coals. So keep the passion and we'll get through this!!!!!! That's why this web site is so cool because you can air the TRUTH and sometimes you find out the tooth fairy did'nt leave you $$it. BillyRay...no sugar coating please.....

ShelbySteve Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Can't find any info on it. Looking for the Publisher and ISBN number. Thanks, Ron I ordered the book from Shelby in Vegas on Monday. Its on page 43 of the Shelby winter catalog. You can download the pdf of the catalog from the web site. Just received the book in the mail today(11/5/07). Must not be limited print. Published by ArtelHouse LLC ---- ACC-BOOK-1049 --- COST 25.95 PLUS 8.21 SHIPPING to Southern California. The book is beautiful. A must have in my opinion. I will be looking to get it signed by Carroll some day soon. ShelbySteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 It is limited, Shelby is out. Publisher says they will consider making a few more, we'll see. They told me the publisher was not printing any more copies. Also said this site was generating a lot of interest in this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURVENOM Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm feeling the same way. Everything Shelby is starting to look like it is for the rich and the famous. The regular Shelby enthusiast is getting pushed away. This is turning into some exclusive thing for exclusive people. I hope I don't end up getting stereotyped for owning the car of my dream, because people are so deep in idolizing everything Shelby that it shuns away the REAL enthusiast. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt50035 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 They told me the publisher was not printing any more copies. Also said this site was generating a lot of interest in this book. I spoke to the publisher yesterday and they told me 500 was it. No more will be printed, nada. The licensing agreement was for 500 copies. Unbelievable. You would think they would have at least printed 1,000. I understand the limited edition thing but, I think there are 10,844 GT500 owners out there, right? I guess I could still buy the $686 version leather bound and signed edition from Ford Art House!!@$#$ Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckstang Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 We did pay 300 for a signed plaque, the book is probably nicer I like my plaque but I would have rather used it for mod money The whole Shelby thing fades away and you realize you own a car, a great car you want to make better, because Ford dropped the ball in many areas as no car is perfect from the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Boy Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Not to sound like too much of a book whore but I have a pictorial history on the mustang entitled "Wild Horses, A Portrait of America's Favorite Muscle Car" that's at the manufacturer. From the beginning to the end, it has some killer pics in it if new and old shelbys and..................... We're giving $1 per book sold to the Ronald McDonald House....if we sell all the books, that will be a book check to charity and....if we sell them all and there is still a need, we'll get mroe printed. So enough of this out of order business.....let the reading satisfaction begin. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
