thank you for the kind welcome words :-)

My goal is to get the Daytona Coupe through FIA homologation for vintage racing, so it needs to be 100% like the original. Which kit would you recommend?

Kirkham has an aluminum one on the way...within the year. Also, check
Cobra country.com. There is an aluminum roller there supposedly authorized by Shelby. Only a few have been built. Good luck

Welcome to Club Cobra!

Guessing that a Kirkham Coupe or a Shelby Continuation Coupe is going to be the only path to FIA homologation for vintage racing. Superformance no longer makes a coupe.

Best of luck on your search and build.

The Daytona I was talking about is CSX 7063, built by Lee Bensen, a Shelby dealer who says this is the third of ten Shelby authorized Daytonas that have been built. It is being sold on a Shelby MSO.

It is presented as authentic to the original...check it out on cobracountry.com
