Let's go way back to 1985.

SFM6S584 was one of 85 four speed equipped 1966 Hertz GT350 Shelbys.

We purchased it in the early 1980s and restored it.

Craig Naff even had a hand in the restoration...that was before his CadZZilla days!

It appeared on our Virginia Classic Mustang Inc Fall/Winter 1985/1986 Catalog.

The car showed up several years ago when Marcus Anghel at Anghel Restorations was commissioned to re-restore it for a client.

Just the Details...1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 Restoration 6S933

1966 GT350 Shelby SFM6S933. Sapphire Blue.

Jeremy at Maple Hill Restorations has produced some very, very nice work over the years. Most of that work has been featured here on our Blog. This 1966 Shelby is definitely one of our favorites! It is an absolutely stunning restoration.

If you regularly read or subscribe to our Blog, you have seen this car featured. Today, we wanted to share a few photos of the completed car.

This is 1966 Shelby GT350 SFM 6S933. It was refinished in its original color, Sapphire Blue. The car never received the popular twin white LeMans stripes across the top, and we think it looks fantastic this way!

This GT350 features its original drivetrain along with all five original ten spoke wheels as listed on the original window sticker.

The new owner is from Virginia and will be showing the car at several venues this year. Hopefully you can see it in person!

Enjoy the photos!
