1965 Factory Five Coupe - Shelby Daytona

Factory Five Daytona Coupe, I.D. # F5R1000247CP, Mileage: 9,040

This car was built by Midwest Cobras and Classics as a show car to illustrate to potential clients what they could build for them. All new parts, no donor parts. The car is registered as a 1965 Shelby 2DR. You can use classic car insurance on it if you choose. This car is an amazing Factory Five inside and out. The engine bay looks great with the Weber look-a-like EFI system. I am the second owner of this car and am a retired mechanic. I'm getting too old for this type of car. The car is FAST, turns like it's on rails and sounds amazing with the custom exhaust. Always garage kept, never seen cold, rain, salt, etc. The car turns heads everywhere it goes. Wins an award at every local show I take it to. This car has been shaken down thoroughly. Everything works great on it.

Mods on the car:
· Changed the front lower a-arms to the Gordon Levy 3012 Koni shocks (big difference) and a SAI kit that changes the upper control arm mounting angle
· Installed a new power steering rack with a larger torsion bar for a tighter feel. Also added a bump steer kit on the tie rod ends to eliminate bump steer
· The car has been corner balanced and had the ride height set properly
· Rear sway bar has been installed
· Changed out the gas pedal to get a better geometry for the pedals (AC cobra pedals)
· Reconfigured the throttle cable routing to work more smoothly
· Custom aftermarket stainless steel exhaust. The stock exhaust that comes on the Daytona Coupes choked the engine severely. I had a custom hot rod shop design and fabricate new sidepipes which increase flow dramatically.
