Combine the classic looks of a racing legend with the modern performance of a naturally aspirated V8- all for an affordable price! This is the Factory Five Type 65 Coupe-R, and it's designed to replicate the original Shelby Daytona by Pete Brock and Carrol Shelby. It seats two, has an unmistakable Daytona -inspired fiberglass body, and can handle over 500 horsepower. Factory Five Racing rwd kit car monster might be one of the best Shelby Daytona cheap supercar replica kits you can buy!

It is interesting that the 7 th Daytona is not recognised. Shelby made contact with Jon Ohlsen in New Zealand and asked him to build two Daytona coups. This came about because Jon worked with Pete Brock in the old days.Shelby issued two sets of chassis numbers. Sadly Jon passed away before the car was complete. I was privileged to visit with Jon during the build. The car was completed and shipped to the US A. Jon also built the Wilson’s Daytona’s back in the day. He suffered burns with the famous Daytona pit fire.

The "blunt rear end" is called a Kammback or Kamm Tail rear end and it work aerodynamically to reduce drag. That salt flat run was with the 289 engine because none of the original cars had the big block engine. There were plans to build a big block Daytona, but the GT40 took priority.

Not looking to make money but I could see doing it. Then selling it 5 years later for a new project. If I could get what I put in back that would be a hard yes for me then.
