I saw this announcement at SAAC 43.  A new online Cobra Registry is available.   Sounds like a great way to keep up with current information.   

Check it out here:  https://www.cobraregistry.org/

It did work earlier for me, but it is not responding now.

Must be from an overload of interest.  It is a posted link as well on The Cobra Experience site, but is down for now.
Just nuts.

It is working for me at the moment.   :)

Here it is again.  Maybe I pasted it incorrectly earlier.

I was on the site today. I see it's $100 a year to join. Has anyone bit the bullet and signed up? I'm curious on what the $100 gets you besides possibly more current information about the Cobra's history. Not living in CA going to the facility doesn't really play into the membership. I'd like to hear what others think that have joined-

I finally got around to subscribing to the Cobra registry online last night.....   

Wow!  Very cool!  I will be spending a lot of time here. 

This is great!  So many more photos and quick information.

Thank you to everyone that put this together.  This is a great asset to our hobby.

I dont think this is associated with SAAC is it?

Where are they sourcing their information?

Info is from SAAC. Updated by the Cobra Registrar.

So to be clear...what does the $100 regarding COBRA information get you that isn't in the most recent publishing of the registry? Looks like the site says to get access to the information it's $100 PER YEAR. In other words at the current release rate of a new registry every 10 years I'm paying a total of $1,000.00 over that ten years to have access to research/update the cobra data? It doesn't seem to make sense to me.

It's possible the online Registry makes the most sense to anyone actively looking to purchase a Cobra. Some of the data in a printed Registry is obsolete by the time it appears, hence an online version can provide more current information. In addition, while the printed version offers a photo or two of a given car, the online one provides various quality images of the exterior, engine bay, and interior of every car we can find. It is also updated constantly. Is it worth $100 a year? For a lot of Cobra enthusiasts, it definitely is.

Ned,

+1.  I've got to agree with you about the online registry.  Especially regarding current and timely information.

If there will be the day where we can check all pre 70 Shelby Cars online with one account at the saac database that would be awesome and I think people will pay good money for that.
