Vehicle Description
1965 Shelby Daytona coupe is legendary. Only 6 were ever produced,
but with this design Carrol Shelby became the first American
manufacturer to win an international GT championship in 1965. This
car is definitely worthy of a tribute, and this Coupe really
performs. With only 25 miles on the odometer, she was built to run
on the open road, power plant is all aluminium Corvette LS 1 350ci
5.7L engine, Muncie M20 transmission, 8.8 rear end, 4-wheel disc
brakes, and a fully adjustable koni coilover suspension. It
delivers all the sound and fury you would expect from a vintage
racing car. This replica is based on a Factory Five Gen 3 platform.
It was finished spring of 2023 after a three year build. The frame
and its integral roll cage all show very nicely with a satin black
finish. The fiberglass bodywork is finished in pure white with the
correct 1965 France to Nurburgring racing stripes and numbers. The
Daytona looks fast even when its standing still. The Kammback tail
includes frenched in Lucas design beehive tail, turn, and backup
lights, and frenched in license plate. Additional exterior features
include a correct rear spoiler, Le Mans design fuel cap, dual foot
box vents, dual bullet chrome side mirrors, and 17 inch torque
thrust style wheels with Toyo Extensa HP2 tires (245/45ZR17 front,
315/35ZR17 rear). The car has a fantastic power to weight ratio
thanks to the LS motor pushing 400hp. Note this modern engine
weighs less and makes more power than the old vintage Shelby's!
Some of the Coupes features include an MSD ignition control, Holley
high rise with a Demon carburetor. It makes a wicked sound through
the all stainless steel headers and side exhaust, while the
aluminum radiator and Dual electric fans keep everything running
cool. The transmission is a Rebuilt Muncie 4 speed with a
centerforce hydraulic clutch. Out back is a 8.8 Ford rear end with
3.08 gears. The 4 wheel disc brakes have drilled and slotted
rotors.
