1964 Shelby Daytona

Type 65 Factory Five F5R (Factory Five Racing) 1000101DC0000

There were only six original Coupes ever built and they captured the 1965 FIA World Championship for America; it was the final years before big budgets made road racing too expensive for the average guy. More than 50 years later, the muscular lines and aggressive stance of those amazing cars still makes people stop and stare.

The Factory Five Type 65 Coupe is true to the road racing legacy that gave the design its birth. With modern engineering and technologies, this car is much more livable than the originals.

F5R1000101DC is not your typical kit car; the quality of the build is obvious in the finish and details. The reliable sensorial power from the Coyote and the smooth shifting transmission deliver an incredible driving experience.
