1964 Daytona Cobra Coupe
(Factory Authorized Continuation)
Owner / Driver - Don Wells
Build History:CSX-7072 started life as a Shelby FIA roadster in 1987 available as a
continuation Cobra from Shelby American. I bought it thru a Shelby
Dealer in Pa, having him 're-body' the Cobra with Mr. Shelby's
permission in 1998.
With my direction, Pete Brock, Dr. Simeone and all the Cobra books
available, I have re-created what the original Daytona Cobra Coupe
looked like when it first raced in Feb.13th 1964. Pete Brock found just one
thing wrong with my Cobra and it's been fixed.
Modern additions(Required to meet current Vintage racing specifications):
Shelby fuel cell
gel battery
radiator fan
FIA safety belts
full halo roll cage
Engine:The 298
CID engine has many period correct parts. It's currently producing about 400 HP.
The Girling brakes, Koni shocks and suspension components are stock, period correct components.
