1965 Daytona Cobra Coupe. Professional built non donor car! Built for SHOW and for GO!!! 427 All Alumimun Motor (605 hp)! (2300 lbs)!!
This Daytona Coupe is currently on the cover of Kit Car Magazine March 2007 and has a 7 page feature article about the car. See it at:

Article
http://www.kitcarmag.com/featuredveh...type_65_coupe/
The article tells alot about the car but you gotta see it in person. I have had many people tell me that it looks way better in person. Just ask around and you'll find out. Also, you can read about it in the Run-N-Gun 2006 article as well were it won five 1st place awards for every competition category. It is so fast and handles on rails that I was top in all categories for all Street Tire classes.
This Coupe has also won 1st place in its class at the Autorama, Best in Show Fun Ford 06, and 1st place at just about every show in the Houston area. The attention to detail and the incredible body and paintwork speak for itself. It's a SHOW CAR with RACE CAR soul...
Only top of the line NEW parts were used on this Daytona. From the motor to the polished stainless nuts and bolts. I am selling this Daytona to sponsor a new project. I absolutely love the car and wish that I could have it and many more cars in the garage, but I'm no millionaire... I am only listing it currently on Clubcobra for my fellow Cobra enthusiasts to have first dibbs at a very good price. Then it goes on multiple sites at the end of March. It would cost about $110k to build an SPF like this one and it still would not be one of a kind.
This car is in immaculate condition and always kept under cover in the garage for the past 8 months since completed. There are only 2051 miles on her. She is broken in and drives like a dream. Not a scratch...
I will be taking this Coupe to Austin in a few weeks for the Texas Cobra Club meet where it can be seen. Or, you are more than welcome to email or call me anytime for more info and pics. I have all pics and documents from the build. I can be reached at 281-804-5730 or email at jamesyale1@hotmail.com. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. $84,900

This car has to be seen in person to really appreciate the attention to detail and sheer beauty of this car. The pictures are good but the car really pops in person. Not to mention it is very quick. Thanks James, for the ride at the Dyno day meet.
