1965 SHELBY DAYTONA "STREET LEGAL RACE CAR"

THE 1965 SHELBY COBRA DAYTONA COUPE. 

THE FIRST AMERICAN BUILT CAR TO BEAT THE UNDEFEATED FERRARI'S ON THEIR OWN TURF.

#26 IS A TRIBUTE TO RACING LEGEND AND DRIVER OF THE #26, BOB BONDURANT, WHO HAD JUST RECENTLY PASSED.

ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH A 289 V8 IN 1965, THIS CAR HAS A 302 V8 MATED TO A TREMEC 5 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX, WITH A FORD RACING REAR END AND GEARS.  

WEIGHING AT ONLY 2400 POUNDS, THIS CAR IS VERY LIGHT AND WITH A V8, IT IS VERY QUICK.

THIS CAR IS A FACTORY FIVE GEN 3 CAR.  THE LATEST AND GREATEST VERSION FROM FACTORY FIVE. USUALLY IF YOU EVER FIND ONE OF THESE CARS, THEY ARE A GEN 1 OR MAYBE A GEN 2.  VERY SELDOM YOU SEE A GEN 3 VERSION. 

THIS IS A FULLY STREET LEGAL RACE CAR.  FULL TUBE CHASSIS AND ROLL CAGE ALL ENGINEERED. YOU CAN DRIVE IT TO MOSPORT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN GO TURN SOME LAPS IF YOU WANTED TO

MANUAL STEERING, DISC BRAKES, 4 POINT HARNESS.WIPERS, ETC.

THERE ARE THE RACING WINDOWS THAT GO WITH IT THAT ARE NOT IN THE PICTURES.

THE SOUND OF THIS CAR IS SOMETHING ELSE.  IVE HAD HUNDREDS OF CLASSICS AND MUSCLE CARS, AND THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST SOUNDING CAR IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.  IT WILL DROWN OUT A PACK OF HARLEYS IF YOU WANT IT TO.  WHEN YOU COME OFF THE THROTTLE, IT HAS A CRACKLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE 4TH OF JULY COMING OUT OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL DUAL SIDE PIPES. IF YOU DRIVE IT EASY, SHE CAN BE QUIET BUT ITS RATHER DIFFICULT TO KEEP YOUR FOOT OFF THE THROTTLE.

ITS SO NEW, IT HAS NEVER BEEN TO A CAR SHOW YET, BUT IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE THE STAR AT ANY SHOW.
