You guys might be interested to know that Mecum will publish a hardcover book on the Daytona Coupes, and CSX2601 specifically for the auction in May. It's intended primarily for the heavy hitters who will attend the auction, but a few extra copies will be for sale! This is going to be a rare piece as only a few will be produced. For those unable to obtain a copy of "Daytona Cobra Coupes" this is the best alternative.

Badger,
Mistakes happen...the pics in the book alone are fantastic enough though, and it is still one of my favourites. Personally, I actually like the lines on the original (especially around the nose) better than what Gransport did - it seemed a bit slipperier.
So about this Mecum book...Do you know how I go about getting one? I am in no way a heavy hitter (and was barely a glimmer when the cars were being built), but I love all those old GTs of the 60s and just can't get enough of them or the stories about them!
