1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe | Tribute by Superformance

One of the most beautiful cars in the world, and one with an incredible story. I was lucky enough to be at Goodwood when all 6 of the originals came together a few years back and I got goosebumps just standing next to them. Such an iconic car......thanks for bringing us the video.

On my top 5 race / street cars, the design is as fresh now as was back in the day

AutotopiaLA is the greatest undiscovered car channel -- featuring crème de la crème cars, Shawn presenting, engaging, professional editing, this is world-class car food for real car people. Thanks guys!

Thanks guys .. and Jim! The history is so fascinating No end to the details, the individuals, the commitment, the wrenching, the passion, the fabrication, the races, the risk, the wins, the off the chart speeds, the bare bones interiors, weather, the tech, design, aerodynamics, talent on top of talent back in the day Just incredible every time this car actual or kit and references to the car surfaces on YTube And a current glimpse at what can be- Those headers...

I'm so glad these beasts are still being produced for us to enjoy!

Met Doug Campbell today. Super friendly guy represented a Superformance company. It was an honor.

What an iconic car. The very first time I saw one it instantly shot to the top of my most beautiful car list.

Id love to be able to drive one myself. Such a cool piece of history even with its nice comforting modern touches.

I've always thought you were more of a Chevy and MOPAR guy, Shawn. But the respect you show Shelby and Ford with their 1960s cars is very admirable. That decade made me a Ford fan for life. Love this car. Would take one over a GT40...well if that day ever came it would be a hard decision to make.

Thanks for fulfilling my wish on making a video on Daytona Coupe! My dream car!

What else can you say, Superformance is a leader in the industry !! Very special cars, that no one has been able to get, now here it is !! Built to absolute perfection, Full on period correct. Thank you so much. I Will have one, just not yet. Keep up the great work Shawn !!! Love it.

The Cobra Daytona Coupe is my favorite car of all time. The GT40 Gulf livery too. I think they are both tied as favorite cars of all time lol.

That is insanely cool! Doug is very knowledgeable and the car design and performance was light years ahead of the pack...Supercars is awesome! Thanks autotopia team!

The stigma of "kit" cars is from the 70's when they looked like 10 pieces of crap taped to a vw beetle. Now? FFR and Superformance are legit car companies building cars that can rival the best in the world.....

Thanks Shawn. I really dig all the content you bring and this Daytona is exceptional. The lines are really amazing and the coolest part about having one of these is that you are not going to see its twin at the local coffee and cars meet. We got Cobra, GT40 and now this beauty which is probably the most practical to take on a long road trip.

I love the fact that all those cars they call "Ferrari Killers" were not only from the U.S.A, but without exception, every single car, especially the Daytona, have a meaner, more masculine look, but are still as lovely as anything out there. Of course Ferrari made absolute beauties, but Shelby and those guys were right on with grace and function. Amazing! Great video!

Now we're talking! Gimme gimme gimme! Mine! Mine! Mine! As the seagulls in Finding Nemo so succinctly phrased it! Oh man, wow! Mr. Brock involved too,imagine how many incredible ideas started out at the restaurant or bar off of a freakin napkin!!! Lol! Figures I'm catching up on your videos and saw the GT 40 one before this,i stand corrected. Binge watching,catching up on the vids, harvesting and trimming some Alaskan Ice,loving it! Man Shaun, you are a lucky boy!!!! Kudos! Living the dream life of Riley!!! Thanks again guys! ▪☆☆☆▪

Great job Shawn, lots of details about the homologation history of the car, that 90 days timeframe is crazy... Great time allocation to every segment and overall video... Keep doing it!

I’m currently building a Factory Five coupe. One of the most beautiful designs. Definitely one that had to grow on me from the first time I seen pictures years ago but it reels you in.

The styling was way ahead of time...this is what makes these cars timeless.
