Earth Motorcars is proud to present this absolutely amazing hand built1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe completed in late 2015. This stunning car is not a kit, it is a hand crafted replica and combines the historic looks of the original Shelby Daytona Coupe.
Over fifty years ago a car created by a handful of California hot-rodders won America its first FIA manufacturers' road-racing championship. That machine, the 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, was the brainchild of designer Peter Brock. From Carroll Shelby's shop in Los Angeles, it went to Daytona, Sebring, and Europe. And chiefly, it took down Ferrari, winner of 10 FIA sports-car titles in the previous 12 years.
Just six Daytona Coupes were made. The car fit into a loophole in FIA rules that allowed manufacturers to rebody an existing model for competition—the same loophole that produced the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO, the Daytona's main rival. As such, the Daytona was mechanically identical to Shelby's Cobra roadster.
For the 50th anniversary of the Daytona's title, we spoke with a few of the players. We hit Summit Point's 2.2-mile Shenandoah road course in West Virginia and drove a hyperaccurate, aluminum-bodied replica built by Daytona restoration guru Mike McCluskey. We brought Peter Brock. And through the following oral history and driving impressions, we tried to catch a glimpse of what made the Daytona special.
The heart and soul of this world class machine is an all aluminum Shelby 427 supporting a Borla eight stack fuel injection system (600hp) .
