Description:
This 1965 Shelby Daytona Factory Five Type 65 coupe is a sleekbuild with all the best components to make this new car look trulyvintage. But while this has an accurate style, right down to theside pipes, you'll also start to notice well-integrated upgrades.The V8 is a fuel-injected and supercharged powerhouse. Plus,there's a five-speed, full competition chassis, and even airconditioning! The way the light rolls so smoothly across the quality Factory Fivepanels reminds you of why Peter Brock and Carroll Shelby createdthis car in the first place. The Daytona Coupe was all aboutre-skinning the Cobra to make it cheat the wind and go faster. Sowhen you want a proper Daytona, you need the details to be right.That includes deep-diving hood aerodynamics, fire-breathing sidepipes, a big back window, a tall spoiler, and a flat rear end (thereal secret to why this cheats the wind.) A deep blue with racingstripes laid on top is truly part of this iconic style. So it'sgreat to see it looking so bright, and there's even a hint ofmetallic to get extra attention. It's all part of what you get on abuild that's believed to have under 13k miles on it. There's abeautiful race-ready feeling, right down to the details, like thecompetition-style gas cap and Halibrand-style wheels. But you'llalso notice that this one wants to be street-able. Good lighting,proper turn signals, and a real rear hatch are useful features.We're not suggesting this hardcore coupe is daily driver material,but it also feels nice to know it gets itself to the tack daywithout a trailer and support team. The interior has an instant race-ready attitude with a touch ofrefinement. Low-back bucket seats, racing lap belts, Plexi sliderside windows, crisp AutoMeter gauges, and a wood-rimmed Cobrasteering wheel really get the vintage feeling right. It even stillhas the Cobra-correct forward-leaning gearstick. It's all done in aclean presentation that reminds you how Factory Five knows how toproduce great Cobra pieces... even for the rare coupes. And becausethis is not a roadster, the addition of air conditioning isessential to keeping your day out feeling fun and comfortable. While the design is a legendary classic, when you tilt the hoodforward, you'll see a much more modern powerhouse. The base is aFord fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8, but what really catches your eyeis the Vortech supercharger that gives this supercar-level power.In fact, we have a dyno sheet showing 430 horsepower at the rearwheels! A build like this also needs good supporting components,and so you have Trick Flow valve covers, an Optima red top batterymounted low, a serpentine belt system, and an aluminum radiatorwith an electric fan. This fires up eagerly as the header-fed sidepipes make a terrific growl. Making sure the power gets to theground is a strong five-speed manual transmission. These Daytonashave the same race-bred suspension as the Cobra. So you have astrong tubular chassis, independent A-arm front suspension, frontdisc brakes, and modern sport tires. The sale comes complete with the dyno sheet and the Factory Fiveassembly manual. This is a legendary track dominator that was builtto uphold its legacy properly. So if you love thoughtfully donevintage speed, call today! (Clean FL title. Titled as 1965 Cobrawith a Replica Brand. Please check your state titling requirementsbefore purchase.)
