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 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. 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.

At the age of 18, Joe purchased his first classic car – a 1972 Chevelle SS454 WVIN – and was bit by the bug ever since. He continued buying classic cars and found the rush of purchasing, restoring and driving these symbolic machines of American heritage very addictive. After realizing that his parent’s garage was not big enough to hold them all, he then started to rent a small warehouse. His girlfriend at the time, now his lovely wife, sat him down one day and told him that he had an issue. He was also advised to, moving forward, sell a car before he could buy another one. At that point, through many walks of life, he realized that there are plenty of other people just like him who enjoy owning and driving a piece of American history.
In 2010, he realized that he could quench his desire to drive as many American classics as he desired, as long as he could make room for them, so he ramped up car purchases. You can say it is no coincidence that the founder/owner of No Reserve Classics is named Joe, since he sells American classics that the “average Joe” can afford…but don’t get it twisted, there is nothing average about him or No Reserve Classics.
We enjoy what we do so much that the bottom dollar does not affect our decision making.
We choose to satisfy our passion for restoring classic cars by simply selling them to restore more American muscle.
— Joseph Hanna, Founder/Owner
Typically when you see classic cars, they’re either at car shows or have been sitting in the owner’s garage for quite some time not getting the attention they need. We take those cars and truly bring them back to life by fulfilling light restoration work and getting them to a so-called “turn-key” standpoint where you can hop in and reliably drive them every day.
When a vehicle is auctioned off, they all start at $0.01 and go to the highest bidder at the end of seven days…period. No Reserve Classics is an unprecedented and one of a kind online-based auction company that lets the market decide what our investment classic cars are worth. We are NOT run by used car salesmen and we are ALL passionate collectors who have years of experience owning and working on classic cars. We aim to make buying and selling your dream car as simple and as gratifying as possible.
Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
