New arrival: Shelby Daytona CSX9000 Continuation Coupe
The Shelby Daytona is one of those cars whose story almost seems too big for the bodywork. A low nose, a long roofline, a distinctive rear end, and the presence of a car that was not designed to look pretty on a concours lawn, but to challenge Ferrari at high speed. And that is exactly what it did.
In the early 1960s, Shelby Cobra roadsters were highly successful on American circuits. Light, powerful, and extremely fast. But on European tracks such as Le Mans, one problem became apparent: aerodynamics. The open Cobra simply was not aerodynamic enough to make full use of its power on the long straights. Carroll Shelby therefore asked Peter Brock and Ken Miles to develop a closed coupé version. The result was the Daytona Coupe. And it changed everything.
The Daytona was built to take on Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Jaguar. On the racetrack. With drivers such as Dan Gurney, Bob Bondurant, Allen Grant, and Phil Hill, the Daytona became one of the most successful and iconic American race cars ever created. In 1965, Shelby won the FIA World Sportscar GT class. In doing so, Shelby became the only American manufacturer ever to achieve that feat.
This example is a Shelby Daytona CSX9000 Continuation Coupe. Built by Shelby American, approved by Carroll Shelby, and carrying a CSX chassis number. In practical terms, you do not get much closer to the original than this. This is an official continuation car from the Shelby family.
The condition of this example can best be described as virtually new. The bodywork, paint, mechanicals, and interior all present at a level entirely appropriate for a car with this provenance.
This car is for sale. Read more on our website.
