Vehicle Description
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.
CSX9120 carries on that championship spirit with its Sebring Orange
with Black stripes exterior accompanied by black 18" with orange
pin striped pin drive wheels. 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.
CSX9120's performance capabilities back up the competition GT looks
thanks to a Roush 427IR small block Ford V8 with Borla 8-Stack fuel
injection, black ceramic headers feeding side pipes, engine oil
cooler, and an aluminum radiator. The engine is teamed with a
6-speed TREMEC T56 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, period correct Stewart warner gauges, power steering,
power windows, and power door locks. A roll bar adds security to
the premium interior materials. A Bluetooth sound system further
enhances the grand touring experience. A custom backup camera
integrated into the rearview mirror.
Eligible for the Shelby American Automobile Club owners registry,
CSX9120 is titled in Florida as a 1964 Shelby Daytona and is now
listed for $224,950 with 6108 miles.
