1965 daytona coupe replica factory five racing GEN 2 Shelby Cobra

There are several of Daytona Coupe Kits to choose from. and thousands of choices you can make for your final product. In building one of these kits. decision is by far one of the hardest things to overcome. What products to choose. which color to paint. what engine to use; and these are just a few. As with any Daytona replicas out there. it’s important to build one that not only is constructed from great parts. but also that the sums of its parts add up to quality. From experience. It’s easier to buy a kit that is finished rather than build it yourself; especially when it comes to one of these kits and for many reasons. With time you will know if the kit was build right. parts come loose if they were not properly installed. the body changes shape from the heat beaming down on it. the paint becomes blurry from poor prep. you hear noises coming from everywhere and these are only a few of the many reason why it makes sense to buy a kit that has already been put through all of this. This replica kit has been road worthy for 4 years with the dependability that it will last an eternity. What you are bidding on is a Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe. one of the few car kit manufactures that actually know what they are doing and one of the only manufactures that builds their kits from the ground up. starting from their chassis. Factory Five Racing has perfected the art of their kits; they’ve been in business for 20 years. They not only specialize in Coupes. they have a whole line up of replica kits (427 Cobra’s Roadster. 33 Hotrods. GTM Supercar. 818 racer. track cars). This simply confirms that this is a company knows what they are doing and will continue for many years to come. About the car. This is a SB-100 titled vehicle originally registered in California as a 1965 Daytona Coupe Replica. It was finished in 2011 and has a little over 4000 miles on it. I am the second owner and it is now titled and registered in Florida. The original owner spent about $60k to finish the build. I have spent another $16. 00 I various upgrades. So in total this car has about $76. 00 of parts and labor into it; and it shows. The interior: A lot of attention went into the interior. Inside you will find a twist of modernism.
