1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 6S289 - The Family Car - 50+ Years
« on: March 04, 2018, 11:57:45 PM »
This story begins with a young lady. This young lady was looking for that special car. After some searching, a unique opportunity, with a special car, presented itself. After contacting the owner of this car, a family test drive was arraigned, and the car was purchased.

The year was 1967.

The car is 6S289.

The young lady is my mom.

Mom always loved 6S289, her 1966 GT350, even during those 28 years that it sat idle in her garage.

In 2005, it was my pleasure, after those 28 years of being dormant, to work towards bringing 6S289 back to its former glory. 6S289 was back on the road again in 2007 and mom was so excited to see this after now 30 years. Mom attended car shows and loved to share her experiences of 6S289 with those who would stop by to see her special car.

Mom was able to enjoy these times for just a few short years, because sadly, we lost mom recently.

I want to remember and honor mom and one of the things she loved and really enjoyed.
These photos are early photos of mom with 6S289 - mom's special car.
