Overview

1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe was the final piece of the puzzle that Shelby American needed to capture the FIA sports car world championship. It won the crown in 1965, becoming the only American manufacturer to do so. Peter Brock designed the slick, aerodynamic body that gave the Daytona the edge on high-speed tracks around the world. Only six Daytona coupes were built during the 1960s, but they carved out an unforgettable racing legacy.

The CSX9000 series is a modern evolution of the car that ruled the track in 1965. Penned by original designers Peter Brock and Bob Negstad and constructed by Shelby American, the CSX9000 Continuation Daytona Coupes have a larger passenger compartment than the original race cars, allowing for greater comfort, and feature a tubular space frame constructed of mild steel.

CSX9174 carries on that championship spirit with its Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes exterior accompanied by color matched 18” fully polished pin drive wheels. Accents include a period correct Le Mans-style fuel filler cap, a rear spoiler, standard reverse light, Shelby signature door latches, functional ducts and scoops for cooling and brakes.

CSX9174's performance capabilities back up the competition GT looks thanks to a Roush 427IR small block Ford V8 with Borla 8-Stack fuel injection, silver ceramic headers feeding side pipes, engine oil cooler, and an aluminum radiator. The engine is teamed with a 6-speed TREMEC T56 manual transmission and power is sent out back to an aluminum limited slip differential.

Handling and stopping ability are equally sharp, with independent suspension with coilover shocks and springs, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and Shelby GT-spec disc brakes. The CSX9000-series comes standard with a 21 gallon stainless steel fuel tank.

The interior is ready for Grand Touring adventures, with air conditioning, leather bucket seats with Shelby logos and white stitching, Alcantara headliner and dash surface, Dynamat sound deadening, period correct Stewart warner gauges, power steering, power windows, and power door locks. A roll bar adds security to the premium interior materials. A Bluetooth sound system further enhances the grand touring experience. A custom indoor car cover in blue with white stripes is also included.

Eligible for the Shelby American Automobile Club owners registry, CSX91704 is sold on MSO with only 228 test miles and is now listed for $284,950.
