consider yourself a car connoisseur, an automotive aficionado?
Looking for only the best or the most unique finds? Come to
MotoeXotica Classic Cars; we have something that might tempt you, a
1965 Shelby Daytona Type 65 Coupe Replica and titled as such. This
one-owner car was purchased from the well-known Factory Five Racing
in Wareham, Massachusetts. Founded in 1995, Factory Five bills
itself as the World's Number One Selling Component Car Manufacturer
of cars that are Built, Not Bought�. A man from neighboring Rhode
Island designed and facilitated the entire build on this example,
spending slightly more than $86,000. Low-slung and featuring
sumptuous lines, the car's British Racing Green paint is lustrous
and thick, and has a show-quality finish. Unlike a lot of other
Shelbys, this example lacks racing stripes or decals that might
otherwise detract from its appearance. Trim pieces include
windshield wipers, plastic side and rear windows, a Cobra rearview
mirror and gas cap. The windshield is clear and crack-free and the
car's lights are in excellent order. The car rolls on Sumitomo HTR
352 radials, size 245/45ZR17 in front and brand new 315/35ZR17 in
rear, surrounding new Shelby GT40 knock off style wheels. All of
the body panels are straight and solid. The cargo area is in very
good order and the engine bay is immaculate, with its aluminum
firewall and Painless wiring. Under the tilt-up hood is a 351 CID
Ford Windsor V-8 engine with the following performance upgrades -
Crane camshaft and aluminum rockers, Edelbrock aluminum heads,
Weiand intake manifold, Holley high-performance fuel pump, Cobra
valve covers, Edelbrock water pump, MSD Ignition and Griffin
aluminum radiator with an electric fan. The engine breathes through
dual side exit exhaust pipes. Backing the engine is a Ford C6
three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford Thunderbird
differential. The undercarriage has been meticulously details and
features a tubular Factory Five Racing frame. The car also has an
aluminum gas tank and rear-mounted battery for better weight
distribution. Driver convenience features include rack-and-pinion
steering and four-wheel disc brakes. The suspension has been
upgraded - the front has tubular control arms and coilovers while
the rear is independent with coilovers. Inside, the custom tan
interior offers a roll cage, Simpson seatbelts, vinyl-wrapped
instrument panel and racing seats, Auto Meter gauges, wooden Cobra
three-spoke steering wheel, door-pull handles, B&M Quick Silver
shifter and custom switches. This Shelby has recently undergone a
complete service and detail. Nearly every surface inside is in
near-excellent condition. This car has no radio. Documentation

2000 issue of Kit Car Magazine, featuring this car on the cover; a

plus installation instructions for certain parts. This car is
