Identify please.....

A friend who owns a couple BBQ restaurants here in town has car meets periodically.
Don’t remember what this is (I wasn’t there), maybe someone here can ID. All I remember is it’s way out of my league.

Daytona Coupe replica, don't know which one, there are several but doesn't look the the Superformance kit to me...

If this is a replica, how are they able to get Historical Vehicle plates?

 

[Bitten in '69]

Depending upon the state, there are multiple ways to register a vehicle for tags like that.
Check the current values on the existing Daytona Coupes, that is not one of them.

Might be a Factory Five.

The original Daytona Coupes were going to be dumped in the ocean because Ford didn't want to pay the shipping to get them back to the US.
Thank goodness they didn't end up underwater!

‘64 Shelby Dayton Coupe. Only 6 originals were ever built. All 6 still survive. That’s a continuation car.

Probably a superformance Daytona coupe

Here is an example for sale https://www.cobracountry.com/cars-for-sale/superformance-shelby-daytona-cpe-spc0006-hillbank/

it says on the license plate. But most likely a Shelby Legacy Car’s continuation, Shelby Legacy Cars are made by Superformance with the license of Shelby International. If it is a Continuation car then it is an actual Shelby, and not a replica.

The Cobra Daytona was the car that proceeded the GT350 and succeeded the Shelby Cobra. It was the creation of Peter Brock. Brock also being the designer of the 1965 GT350/GT350R.

First tested at Riverside International Raceway, and the only change via the Cobra was a body change that took advantage of a FIA rule. It dominated in 1964, so much that Enzo pulled a fast one and had the last race changed to a non points scoring event so that he could win the championship.

Famous drivers: Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Allen Grant, Ken Miles, etc.

Only a few Daytona’s were made. Real ones are multimillion dollar cars.

The next year Shelby returned to compete with the Daytona and they won the 1965 FIA World Championship.

The Daytona stopped being developed when Ford brought the Ford GT to Shelby in LAX in 1965.
