COBRA DAYTONA COUPE By Dennis Begley
Good summary of the history of the Shelby Daytona Coupes. The quote by Peter Brock, designer of the coupe, sums it up nicely: "The Daytona Cobra Coupes were the last of the Specials, a watershed point in race car design. From 1965 onward, race car technology followed the lead set by the Broadley/Ford GT40, cars engineered on paper and built with the most technologically advanced materials available. Never again would there be a successful design distilled only from the cumulative experience of a team's race mechanics, who literally envisioned cars on the shop floor and built them as they proceeded, The Daytona coupes were the end of an era."
