I think the Shell car is set 6634. I have this one, I also have a Shell
tow truck and the Exxon tow truck. What was the questions on those?

That's still not the one I've got.. I've got one of those in red.. and 3
purple ones.. though this one has to be older.. I'll take a pic tomorrow
and put it up on my website.. the top doesn't clip to the top side like
the purple/red ones.. It's a tight snap type fit right into the side of
the box.. or top how ever you want to look at it.. it doesn't touch any
edge of the box..

Yup, and I looked at both of mine last night.  Didn't see any set/part numbers
on them, but my Large Blue one had "(c) 1983" among the standard Lego Info.  I
know I got the blue one after I got the red one, but they may've been made the
same year.

down on the top.. not like the purple and red ones where there's snaps
no the sides to close them.. I'm just wondering how old this one is and
what it came with.. it's maybe 1/3rd smaller than the blue one.

This is (was) "set" 782 Storage Case.  It was released in 1984,
according to the 1984 brochure.

I've added the entry to Pause:

Huh.  That's not what I have.  the lid on mine is in a recessed opening on • top.
The lid is just a rectangular plane.  Do you have any pictures of earlier
boxes?  I have a larger blue one that has the same basic design, also.

Ah, crap.  Found it, made sure the set number wasn't in pause, scanned
it, uploaded it.  Never actually took a good look at the durned thing.
:-P

Try this: (and it was already on Pause too):

That's the one I pictured in my mind; a purple version of 783 came out
not too long ago as a Pirate special deal.

Thing is, this one is newer.  872 is the older one.  I can't find any
before 1984, when 872 appears.
