The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe was the final piece of the puzzle
that Shelby American needed to capture the FIA sports car world
championship. It won the crown in 1965, becoming the only American
manufacturer to do so. Peter Brock designed the slick, aerodynamic
body that gave the Daytona the edge on high-speed tracks around the
world. Only six Daytona coupes were built during the 1960s, but
they carved out an unforgettable racing legacy.
The CSX9000 series is a modern evolution of the car that ruled the
track in 1965. Penned by original designers Peter Brock and Bob
Negstad and constructed by Shelby American, the CSX9000
Continuation Daytona Coupes have a larger passenger compartment
than the original race cars, allowing for greater comfort, and
feature a tubular space frame constructed of mild steel.
CSX9170 carries on that championship spirit with its Guardsman Blue
with Wimbledon White stripes exterior accompanied by color matched
18" wheels with Wimbledon White centers. Accents include a period
correct Le Mans-style fuel filler cap, a rear spoiler, standard
reverse light, Shelby signature door latches, functional ducts and
scoops for cooling and brakes. To further the value, the entire car
has been wrapped in PPF (paint protection film).
CSX9170's performance capabilities back up the competition GT looks
thanks to a Prestiege engines 427 small block Ford V8 with Borla
8-Stack fuel injection, silver ceramic headers feeding side pipes,
engine oil cooler, and an aluminum radiator. The engine is teamed
with a 5-speed TREMEC manual transmission and power is sent out
back to an aluminum limited slip differential.
Handling and stopping ability are equally sharp, with independent
suspension with coilover shocks and springs, power-assisted
rack-and-pinion steering, and Shelby GT-spec disc brakes. The
CSX9000-series comes standard with a 21 gallon stainless steel fuel
tank.
The interior is ready for Grand Touring adventures, with air
conditioning, leather bucket seats with Shelby logos and white
stitching, Alcantara headliner and dash surface, Dynamat sound
deadening, period correct Stewart warner gauges, power steering,
power windows, and power door locks. A roll bar adds security to
the premium interior materials. A custom tuned Bluetooth sound
system including subwoofer further the grand touring
experience.
