1966 Shelby colors

[shelbyhertz66]

Hi All,
does anyone know the total production breakdown of 1966 Shelby by colors?
it may have been asked before but I don't remember seeing it. It  would be interesting to know.
Mine is sapphire blue just wondering how that color compares to the others.
Thanks,
Dave

Off the top of my head (really don't concern this sort of numbers much) think it might be around 10% of all 66's. Might be non-Hertz cars - sorry don't recall. Have one also but not a popular color in the day for these cars if I recall correctly

Sure someone else has done the pencil work

As far as the Hertz Cars go, I believe there were
59 Green
60 Blue
61 Red
71 White
The rest in Black
I think one was White with Blue Stripes.

[98SVT - was 06GT]

I wonder if Howard has them listed in his database. It would be easy to get a count from that.

I had heard 18 white with Blue Stripe, Randy Gillis owned one of these

Isn't this color breakdown in one of the published Registries?

I have a red Hertz and I did my own color breakdown.  It was time consuming but it can be done.  I was bored one evening as you can infer.  I posted this on the forum a while back but here it is again as extracted from the latest Registry for 1966.  Good luck and take good notes.  I did.
