  • 50th Anniversary Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

    The original Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is the stuff of legend. Just six of them were built between 1964 and 1965, and in ’65 the car helped secure the Constructors’ title in the FIA World Sportscar Championship, making Shelby the first American constructor to win a title on the international scene. The originals are among the most coveted vehicles in the world, making ownership near impossible. One last sold for $7.25 million, at the height of the global financial crisis, and we bet that same car would sell for much, much more given the current state of the collector car world...
