Vehicle Description
1965 Daytona Coupe
With Ferrari taking home the titles in the racing scene Mr. Shelby
himself decided America needed a sports coupe that could compete.
From there the Daytona Coupe was born. It is loosely based on the
AC Cobra and only 6 were built between 64 and 65 as Shelby was then
reassigned to the GT40 Le Mans project. In 65 Shelby entered the
history books yet again when he became the first American
constructor to win a title on the international scene and he did so
in the Daytona. Little did he know that his racing Coupes would set
more records years later but this time in the auction scene where
they would sell for millions. This cool Daytona is a replica that
was first registered in 2014. It has a clean Texas Title and runs
well. It was built by Factory Five Racing and the Type 65 coupe was
designed to be an accurate replica of the 65 World Championship
car. It is painted in a nice Black paint with Silver racing
stripes. It wears the number 3 as well as automotive decals as if
it just rolled off the track. It doesn't just have the look though
because the car is set up to be legal on the street and track as
well. It rides around on Black knock off wheels with BF Goodrich
Radial T/A tires.
Under the forward tilting hood is a 392 Ford Stroker motor that
runs really strong. It sounds great as well with Jet hot coat
headers exiting through side pipes on each side. The motor is
topped with a Weiand intake, chrome Holley 750 cfm carburetor,
chrome air cleaner, and Ford Racing valve covers. The transmission
is a Tremec 5 speed with overdrive and moves through the gears with
ease. Other nice features include the 4 wheel disc brakes, MSD
ignition box and Koni shocks. From front to rear the car is really
well built and handles very well. It is one of those cars that in
addition to looking cool is just extremely fun to drive.
The interior is done in all Black with dual bucket racing seats
with 4 point Safety Racing harnesses. The center console houses the
shifter, kill switch, AC controls, and toggle switches for the
lights, fan, and wipers. The gauges are all black face Stewart
Warner gauges and the odometer reads 2,556 miles which have been
put on it since completed. It doesn't have your typical trunk but
the rear window lifts up and gives you plenty of storage space for
your car show gear.
If you want a fun car that turns heads every where it goes then
this Daytona is one to check out. Whether you are looking for a
cool vintage track car or trophy winner at shows this thing can do
it all.
