Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe tells the fascinating history of the Daytona
Coupe version of Carroll Shelby's fabled Cobra with special focus on one
of the six cars built. The fabulous Daytona Coupe, brutally purposeful
in both looks and performance, was created to win the FIA World
Sportscar Championship and duly did so in 1965, beating Ferrari in the
large-capacity class - the category that really counted as it fired the
public's imagination. The specific car covered in detail in this book,
CSX2300, took part in five championship rounds (one in 1964, four in
1965) and played its part in Shelby American's unique team success.
Truly one of the 'Great Cars', the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is a most
worthy addition to this acclaimed series of books. The expert text is
supplemented by 300 period photographs, many previously unpublished,
supported by a portfolio of commissioned special photography.
