Oklahoma on June 27,1974 w/a purchace price value of $2700. & it still remains today on that 2nd title !!!
Included are 2 original registrations from 1974 & 1976 showing 57K & 58K original miles...also a ton of other paperwork!!
It was then purchased by Wayne Blue of Stephenville, Texas in May of 1980 for $6500.w/the original VIN stamped 289
Hi-po motor mated to an original 1966 T-10 4 Spd.transmission (started life w/a C-6 Automatic transmission
when new). In 1986, after running the car at all types of SAAC events & Drag Race event's all over the Country,
Wayne Blue removed the original motor & the T-10 & stored them for later. He didn't want to ruin the original
drivetrain, instead he installed a potent Ford Motorsport 500+ HP engine & a Tremac 3550 5 Spd; a 4.57 Detroit Locker
rear end, lowered the front end & added an R type front apron & wheels. All original parts were retained.
1988 the car was painted & the # 777 was affixed on the doors. Wayne ran every SAAC Convention from 1983 on
including SAAC-9 thru SAAC-30 missing only 1 meet in Portland. He also made at least 1000 drag strip passes
while Drag Racing (13.03 @ 107.41) @ places like Texas World Speedway, Mid-Ohio, Charlotte, Watkins Glen,
Sears Point, Limerock, etc. It has won many awards @ the Shelby events during the 90's & featured in 3 magazines.
It was on the cover of Shelby American issue # 64 & featured in the Shelby Registry book on pg.554. This is
a rare chance to own a real '66 Shelby still on it's original 1974 title from Oklahoma. It has 73K original miles on it.
Mr.Blue never retitled it in his name...he was an Auto Dealer...hence it has had only 2 original titled owners ever !
Included is Mr.Blue's Haulmark Trailer that has been his trademark at all the events he's attended as well as his original
Dealer Tag "W-Blue". It is one of the best investments in the Hot Car Market these days...it'll be $300K.soon !
