1965 Shelby Daytona                                                  in                                  Volo,                                  Illinois1

  Claimed to be the only Factory Five Daytona built with a 427 big

  block engine! Professionally built by Vintage Motorsports, pictures

  are on their website. There are also 3 binders of documentation and

  photos of the build. In 2012 and 2013 it won best Daytona at

  Factory Five's very own open house car show.

  Shelby only built 6 original Daytonas. They are practically

  unobtainable and if one were to become available, be prepared to

  pay several million dollars. Factory Five has designed an accurate

  replica that captures the look and feel of the original 200 mph GT

  cars but is more reliable and comfortable. FF performs extensive

  research and development into their products. The result is a car

  that will outperform the original. It's exhilarating, the look, the

  sound and the ride!

  EXTERIOR: It looks just like the original Daytona with the same

  scoops, flairs and sleek design. Its composite body is in excellent

  shape; it is straight with no damage. Painted a gorgeous deep blue

  metallic and it has a very smooth glossy finish. Painted white over

  the top stripes. Period correct racing decals enhance the original

  look. Correct covered headlights, taillights, pop up gas cap,

  bullet mirrors etc. See those pipes on each side? Wait till you

  hear them! It carves up the curves on a set of 17 inch Halibrand

  style wheels with Eagle F1 performance tires

  INTERIOR: It's no Cadillac, it's a nicely finished racing cockpit!

  The aluminum dash, foot wells and console were covered in sound

  deadener before they were upholstered and carpeted. The leather

  wrapped Moto Lita steering wheel has an easy disconnect so the

  wheel can be removed for easier in and out access. Once in the

  racing style seats and harness will hold you safely in place. The

  dash is home to a full set of Pro Comp gauges and toggle switches.

  The console is home to an e-brake and a Hurst shifter.

  ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is an actual FE 427 big block They started

  with an NOS block and gave it a performance build with Edelbrock

  aluminum heads and a very cool Borla stacked fuel injection on top

  with a Haltech fuel management system. A 3 quart Accusump oil

  system keeps it lubricated. It also has an MSD ignition system and

  headers that feed the side exhaust. Dressed in finned Cobra valve

  covers. It runs cool with a 3 row aluminum radiator, aluminum water

  pump and dual electric fans. The engine bay is full of polished

  aluminum panels, braided hoses, and premium fittings. After the

  video and pictures, I spent $2000 having the car detailed, mostly

  in the motor compartment.

  TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Like the original the rear hatch window lifts

  open. It is carpeted inside, and the exposed tubular supports are

  painted.

  UNDERSIDE: Track ready modified chassis with braces and

  triangulated supports. Flaming River 16:1 steering with helm joints

  and bump steer modification. Upfront is tubular control arms,

  coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack & pinion steering. In back is

  a 4 link system with adjustable control arms, coilover adjustable

  gas shocks and a Watts link. Wilwood brake system with 4 wheel

  drilled and slotted disc. Dynalite Pro Series front calipers. Fuel

  Safe 22 gallon fuel cell with internal slash box, extreme pro Bosch

  fuel pump, stainless lines throughout. Looking up at the motor it

  has an 8 quart Canton oil pan and a high torque starter. Heavy duty

  scatter shield, Doug Nash 5-speed with hydraulic Center Force

  clutch. The rear end is a modified Ford 8.8 with 3.08 posi

  gears.

  SERVICE: We inspected the car and programmed the fuel gauge and

  speedometer. We replaced some missing knobs, fixed the fog lamps,

  tightened the steering wheel and fixed the taillights.

  This car is pure excitement! The looks, the sound and of course the

  performance are awesome. It is legally titled as a 2012 Ford

  Cobra.

  I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for

  virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant

  amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my

  professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to

  assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are

  answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video

  that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are

  displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an

  appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment

  there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,

  your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year

  membership.
