The Appeal

The Shelby Daytona Coupe is one of the most iconic shapes in motorsport history. With only six originals ever built, each now valued in the tens of millions, the Factory Five Racing (FFR) replica offers enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the Daytona's breathtaking form and thrilling performance without the unattainable price tag. Not all replicas are created equal, however, and this example stands apart.

This FFR Daytona Coupe was almost a decade in the making, having been professionally built with an unwavering focus on authenticity. The vendor considers it one of the most period-correct FFR Daytonas around, and the specification supports that claim: it wears Guardsman Blue paintwork with painted Wimbledon White stripes, a livery synonymous with Shelby's racing heritage. Beneath the bonnet sits a Ford 302 Cobra small-block V8 producing approximately 340bhp, mated to a five-speed Tremec manual gearbox, and the vendor reports the sound is incredible.

Having covered only test kilometres since completion, the vendor describes the car as being in like-new condition. It was registered in 2024 and comes with a technical inspection valid to October 2027. Air conditioning has been fitted, though it is not currently charged with refrigerant. For those seeking a meticulously crafted Daytona Coupe replica that honours the spirit of the original, this is a compelling opportunity.
