1965 Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe
View Description
The name Carroll Shelby is almost always in the conversation when it comes to notable racing mentions in American history. Shelby had already made a name for himself by making the small convertible Cobra that displayed having a good balance in racing and performance applications. The time came about for Ferrari to be dethroned again now in the GT class racing as where the 250 GTO was featured and it was tasked with Shelby to design and engineer a car that could kick the Italian juggernaut to the curb. Thus, the Daytona Couple was born with six successful prototypes that displayed an enhanced balanced at high speed cornering with weight distribution showing that this car was designed years ahead of its own time. Since so few of these cars were ever put into existence, we turn to companies like Superperformance and Factory Five Racing to make sure the look and feel of this American racing benchmark stays alive and we still get to experience what it's like to be in the seat of a true race car of the 60's. This built replica is going to be one of the greatest examples of a well built Machine in the legend's image...
