I did not see your post , orelse I would have replied it long ago...
I am showing below that two quasars are blue shifted...

For the text portion
I. The first Redshifted Quasar 3C273:
The author Schmidt in 1963 published the first paper on a quasar declaring it as red shifted [1]. He said:
"Spectra of the star were taken with the prime-focus spectrograph at the 200-in. telescope with dispersions of 400 and 190 テ... per mm. They show a number of broad emission features on a rather blue continuum. The most prominent features, which have widths around 50 テ..., are, in order of strength, at 5632, 3239, 5792, 5032 テ.... These and other weaker emission bands are listed in the first column of Table 1."
He concluded that this quasi stellar object now well known as Quasar. It is the nuclear region of a galaxy with a cosmological red-shift of 0.158, corresponding to an apparent velocity of 47,400 km/sec. The distance would be around 500 megaparsecs, and the diameter of the nuclear region would have to be less than 1 kiloparsec.
II. The first Redshifted Quasar 3C273 is that Blue shifted?
The Table 1 shown below embeds the table 1 of Dr Schmidt in the first 4 columns. The remaining columns show how the quasar is blue shifted for the same wavelengths. I.e., the same wave lengths of his observations were used in this paper to show this same quasar 3C273 is Blue shifted. To support further on this, the spectrum observations made by other three more authors were also discussed in this paper. The checking of the first Redshifted Quasar 3C273 for a possibility of blue shift was tried mainly because of the observation of Dr. Schmidt saying this Quasars 3C273's spectrum is in the "blue continuum" [1]. The Quasars are known for some of the irregularities in the spectrum like some spectral lines match exactly with the some elemental lines with some blue / redshift ratio while some other prominent lines don't match for the same ratio.
Basically many astronomers in their published papers said that sodium line, Carbon line CIV etc., are blue shifts other lines. There are observed variation in quasars in the lines w.r.t other lines in the known spectrums. If the quasars are taken as blue shifted such variation will be very very less or even cease to exist. To explain such phenomenon Bigbang based cosmologists take the help of million light years length of sodium with a velocity of jet at 50000000 meters / second in the case of this 3C273. How such length of sodium can exist I don't know.
Many of these papers talk about such blue shifts. These references can be found at ADS [2,3]. For this, go to ADS search page try searching title and abstract with keywords "Blue shifted quasars". If you search with "and's i.e., 'Blue and Shifted and Galaxies" [use "and" option not with "or "option] you will find 248 papers in ADS search. I did not go through all of them. Some of the papers will be discussed here later in this paper.
In the Table 1, in addition to the original values given by Dr. M. Schmidt, four new columns were added. These columns show the possible blue shift of '(-0.143122)' of the Quasar 3C273 and the resulting wavelengths after the blue shift. SDSS website gives different possible wavelengths in angstrom units in their webpage on 'Algorithms - Emission and absorption line fitting' [4]. These wavelengths were chosen as they will be more authentic and accurate. Please note there are some slight differences in the numerical values in wavelengths as given by Schmidt and SDSS webpage.

Note 1: Later measurements of this QUASAR 3C273 at wavelengths 4595 and 4793 show dips or flatter curves instead of peaks (absorption spectra instead of emission spectra).
