History: The Unique Legacy of 1966 Shelby GT350 #6S2166: The story of the 1966 Shelby GT350, known by its serial number 6S2166, is a captivating journey through time that showcases both the spirit of American muscle and the dedication of its caretakers. With a history steeped in racing and craftsmanship, this particular Shelby has become a legend among enthusiasts and collectors alike. A Racing Heritage: Originally crafted for speed and performance, 6S2166 began its life as a road-going marvel, gracing the streets as an occasional driver and show car. Over the years, it cycled through various configurations, sporting both automatic and 4-speed transmissions, before finding its true calling in the mid-1980s. Under the meticulous care of Bob Cloutier from Denver, the car was transformed into a purpose-built vintage racer. Cloutier recognized the potential of this storied machine, dedicating himself to honing its capabilities for the track. Iconic Drivers: One of the most thrilling chapters in the history of 6S2166 came in the 1990s when the legendary Carroll Shelby himself took the wheel, accompanied by noted racer Chuck Canfield, during an event at Road America. This moment not only underscored the car's pedigree but also connected it to the very roots of Shelby's racing legacy, affirming its status as more than just a machine; it became part of automotive history. A New Chapter Begins: Fast forward to July 2002, when the excitement of the annual Shelby meeting in Ontario, California, set the stage for a new chapter in 6S2166's life. It was at the SAAC 27 convention that the opportunity to acquire this exceptional Shelby presented itself. Just hours before the event concluded, its then-owner hinted at a desire to sell. With time slipping away, and the competition for this gem heating up, a decision had to be made swiftly. Enthusiast and collector Dan Cundiff, accompanied by Mustang expert Pete Geisler, dove into a whirlwind evaluation of the car. In a mere hour, they took a test drive and sealed the deal, leaving a deposit that would pave the way for a journey back to Denver in three weeks-a thrilling gamble that would soon pay off. Racing Performance: What makes 6S2166 truly special isn't just its racing history; it's the remarkable preservation and care it has received. Bob Cloutier treated this Shelby like a cherished jewel, ensuring it avoided the common pitfalls of neglect and misuse. The car has mostly lived as a "garage queen," emerging only for open track sessions and speed events in the Denver area. With all original sheet metal intact, this GT350 retains the essence of its heritage while being fine-tuned for performance. The versatility of 6S2166 is showcased through its various rear end ratios, ranging from a 3.50 for cruising to an exhilarating 4.88 Nodular for racing. The car boasts a best quarter-mile time of 11.8 seconds, and in recent outings, it was clocked at an impressive 150 MPH on the backstretch of California Speedway. While the original engine has long since departed, 6S2166 boasts a formidable SVO race 302 R block engine, engineered to thrive at high RPMs and capable of producing an astounding horsepower output. A genuine 1966 289 hipo engine awaits should the decision be made to return the car to its original state. The extensive collection of wheels and exhaust configurations-from open headers to vintage-style side exhaust-ensures that 6S2166 can be tailored to any driver's preference. A Lasting Legacy: 6S2166 is not just another Shelby; it represents a legacy of performance, passion, and perseverance. Its evolution from a show car to a competitive racer embodies the spirit of the era and the enthusiasts who keep it alive. Whether competing on the track or proudly displayed at shows, this GT350 continues to turn heads and capture hearts. As it races into the future, 6S2166 remains a testament to the enduring allure of the Shelby brand and the timeless excitement of American muscle cars. It's a living piece of history, cherished not only for its speed but for the countless stories it has collected along the way. The roar of its engine and the gleam of its classic lines ensure that this Shelby will forever hold a special place in the annals of automotive heritage.
