Not worried about the class difference.

I thought the original Coupe was a 200+mph car that is why I asked the question.


Shelby's Coupes won the 1965 World GT Championship hands down. The Coupes won almost every race they were in. In fact in some of the races, they came close to out running the Ferrari prototypes and the GT 40's. (Ford threw in the towel on the GT40's after the embarrassing 1965 efforts and turned to project over the Shelby American with instructions to win with the GT40's and not the Daytona Coupes. The project ended there and the Coupes became a part of history.

I guess that line answers my question.

But maybe the 427 Coupe?
