1964 Daytona Cobra Coupe
(Factory Authorized Continuation)
Owner / Driver - Don Wells
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.
