SHELBY COBRA
DAYTONA COUPE
Originally referred to as the "Daytona Car", the couple officially earned its name when being built for the Daytona Race. These cars were built to provide a more aerodynamic Cobra allowing Shelby American to successfully compete with Ferrari on the higher speed road courses.
Shelby commissioned Peter Brock to design a coupe body for the Cobra chassis. Dubbed the Daytona Coupe, the 20 mph faster Cobra made its debut in the 1964 racing season. In 1965, the Daytona Coupe had won 8 of the 11 races it entered and it was also the first and only American-built car to win the World Manufacturer’s Championship for Grand Touring Racecars. The Daytona Couple transformed American road racing and has become one of the most collectible cars to own.
