Description
The Shelby Daytona Coupe (also referred to as the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe) was an American sports-Coupe. It was related to the Shelby Cobra, based on its chassis and drive-train developed and built as an advanced evolution. It was engineered and purpose built for Auto Racing, specifically to take on Ferrari and its 250GTO in the GT class. The original project had six Shelby Daytona Coupes built for racing purposes between 1964 and 1965, as Carol Shelby was reassigned to the Ford GT40 project to compete at the 24 Hours of Lemans, again to beat Ferrari in the highest level prototype class. With the Shelby Daytona, Shelby became the first American constructor to win a title on the international scene in the FIA International Championship for GT Manufactures in 1965. In 2014, the first Cobra Daytona Coupe became the first vehicle recorded under a U. S. federal program for documenting historically important national treasures.
