This is the most meticulous, most detailed Daytona we've had! Only
505 miles since finished. Custom chassis! Stacked fuel injection!
Air conditioning! This is a top-quality Factory Five street
friendly tribute to CSX2300, one of the most famous race cars of
all time! Designed by Peter Brock for Carol Shelby to improve the
foundation established by the Shelby Cobra. Ultra-limited
production with only 6 ever produced. The Daytona coupe was
developed to add greater miles per hour to the car. At Le Mans,
that Daytona coupe picked up 15 miles an hour over the Cobra
roadster. An unexpected benefit was that the Shelby Daytona coupe
also gave them a 25% more fuel efficient race car. The top speed
for the car in 1965 was a remarkable 191 miles per hour on the
Mulsanne straight.
Our shop manager said this is the best factory five build he has
ever seen! It comes with 3 binders full of receipts, invoices,
pictures, and documents!
EXTERIOR: All the looks of the original CSX2300, it is very
authentic! The fiberglass body is arrow straight with precise gaps.
Gorgeous blue paint is smooth, glossy, and reflective. The racing
stripes were applied under the clear coat, so they are smooth when
touched. It is finished off with authentic racing decals. It does
have removable side windows and a Lexan rear hatch window. Race
ready pop-up quick fill gas cap, covered headlights and fog lamps.
It has working windshield wipers, reverse lights, turn signals, and
headlights with high beams. The side pipe exhaust system looks just
like the original. It's sitting on authentic looking spinner rims
with performance tires, ginormous 315/35ZR17s in the rear.
INTERIOR: This is the best interior we've seen! The builder went
the extra in taking the stripped down race car interior and
refining it. Most are the raw aluminum; this one has been lined
with sound deadener and carpeted. The top of the console and
custom-made door panels are upholstered. He actually constructed a
dash pad and upholstered it too. It has many creature comforts like
air conditioning, USB port, 12 volt receptacle and a rear view
mirror with built in lights. It has a tilt column with a leather
gripped wheel and a Shelby center cap. The race seats and harness
will hold you in place as you carve up the pavement. The driver
seat is adjustable to fit people of different heights. The
attention to detail is remarkable! The dashboard itself is equipped
with an impressive array of Auto Meter gauges monitoring the engine
vitals. All the knobs are billet. The gentleman that built this car
was a helicopter pilot, so all the toggle switches are from a
helicopter, which I thought was a really cool touch! I also like
the Shelby shift knob on the short throw shifter.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is a meticulously assembled and highly
detailed compartment. At the center of it is a high performance 302
making close to 400 hp! The stacked fuel injection functions and
looks great! The front of the motor has billet brackets and pulleys
with a serpentine belt system. The headers are coated, plug wires
are run through billet holders, its wearing Shelby valve covers and
much more. It's equipped with air conditioning, power steering and
a Wilwood brake proportioning valve. It is sure to stay cool with
an electric water pump, aluminum radiator, electric fan and the
warm air is ducted right out the hood. All the hoses are braided
stainless, it has an Optima red top gel battery with billet clamps
and hold down. The firewall is custom aluminum. The horns are
hooked up. The bottom side of the fiberglass hood is neatly
finished in black. This is like looking at mechanical jewelry!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Lift the locking hatch made of Lexan at the push
of a button. It is held up by struts and the weather stripping is
fresh. The entire inside has been furnished with sound deadening
and is fully carpeted as well. A functioning push button light was
added to either side. Currently the FAST system control and wiring
are being stored in the trunk.
UNDERSIDE: Even underneath looks brand new! Full custom tubular
chassis with independent front and rear suspension! It's equipped
with rack & pinion steering, tubular control arms, adjustable coil
over shocks and 4 wheel disc brakes. The emergency brake is hooked
up. The aggressive straight pipe exhaust system is run along the
rocker panels. Looking up at the 302 engine it has a high torque
starter and is painted Ford blue. The 5 speed manual transmission
also looks fresh and clean. The custom frame and floors have both
been prepped and neatly painted black.
SERVICE: Built and meticulously maintained by a helicopter pilot.
Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car and it passed with
flying colors! It is ready to cruise with confidence!
I cannot stress enough, the top-quality construction of this
tribute car! The original was sold by RM auctions for 4.4 million
dollars on August 19, 2000! Get all the same aesthetics here plus
the abundant performance in a street friendly package for a small
fraction of that price!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
