For Sale: 1965 Shelby Daytona in Concord, North Carolina

Although Shelby's headlining model will forever be the iconic Cobra, all it takes is one look at this 1965 Shelby Daytona Factory Five replica, and it is easy to see that the godfather of performance Mustangs was more than a one-trick pony. Aptly covered in classic Daytona Blue exterior paint highlighted by dual full-length white racing stripes, this stunning retro racer has just 343 miles on its odometer since its build was completed within the last year.

Step inside this swoopy muscle-coupe, and it feels like you've gone back in time, but better. The three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel boasts a Factory Five center cap, while just beyond it sits a cluster of trick white-faced Auto Meter gauges. The only tell-tale sign that this car isn't from 1965 (on the inside anyway) is the digital odometer integrated into the speedometer, proudly displaying a mere 343 miles. The old-school engine control toggle switches, twin racing bucket seats, and Simpson harnesses all serve to remind you that this car is made to move, and move fast.

Tilt open the front-hinged hood, and you're treated to another benefit from late-model technology. No temperamental carburetors or loose distributor caps to worry about, as this Daytona benefits from a 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine donated by a 2019 Mustang GT. In stock form, this modern muscle motor pumped out an impressive 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. However, our Daytona also adds a set of long tube headers and those glorious side pipes, undoubtedly adding a bit more power and a lot more aural appeal than its stock counterpart. Those ponies are corralled through a six-speed manual transmission (also from a 2019 Mustang GT) before being sent out to a set of seventeen-inch knock-off style wheels shod in massive 315/35R-17 Mickey Thompson Street Comp tires out back, while a pair of 245/45R-17 units handle steering duty up front.
