For Sale: 1965 Superformance Cobra in Irvine, California

*The Superformance Coupe or Superformance Shelby Daytona Coupe is the only licensed continuation of the original Shelby Daytona coupe racing cars of the 1960s. The body was designed by Pete Brock (who designed the original race cars) and a chassis designed by Bob Negstad (who designed the original race chassis), it is viewed by many to be the most authentic modern continuation of the original 6 Shelby Daytona coupes. It is the only Shelby Daytona coupe approved and licensed by Shelby and the only Shelby Daytona coupe aside from the original half-dozen cars eligible for the Shelby Registry.

*The car has a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, with a 55R/45F weight distribution.

*Roush Performance was the official supplier of engines for the coupe, and the majority of American owners choose a Roush engine based on a 351 Windsor block. Common displacements chosen for the car are 392, 402, and 427 cubic inches. Buyers also had a choice between five- and six-speed transmissions, the latter with a relatively wide choice of gear ratios. The Superformance Coupe is an ideal compromise between a historically correct replica and a car suitable for the modern sports car buyer.

*SPC0103 is registered in FL as a 1965 and has only 7,600 miles and has always been garage kept.

*SPC0103 is available for $149,950.
