Shelby Daytona Coupe Replica

Well Gav, I must admit you certainly have excellent taste in cars. This is one of my favorites.....along with the Jaguar XJ13

thanks i do try.

Older pic but I can't resist posting. That's the Upstate Replicars version, probably one of the most authentic ones out there, more so than Superformance. I saw the molds and tooling for sale on Ebay about 6 months ago.

Interesting history behind it, the molds were taken off the real deal during restoration, without the owner's knowlege and a subsequent lawsuit ensued. When builing the original, someone at Shelby screwed up when fabricating and put the windheild cowl bracing a 1/2 too high, or there abouts. That put the entire body out of screw, as a result it has higher roofline than the other 5; I feel the best looking of the 6 too. Naturally Dan Gurney being the tallest driver elected to use it. It is sometimes refered to as the "Gurney" Daytona.
