“ It helped bring the first FIA GT manufacturer’s championship to an American team. It set multiple speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats. And it turns 50 years old this week. So what better birthday gift for the first 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona than to become the first vehicle ever placed on the National Historic Vehicle Register?

Similar to the National Register of Historic Places, which recognizes more than 80,000 historic buildings across the United States, so too can cars now be added to the National Historic Vehicle Register, the result of a collaboration between the Historic Vehicle Association and the U.S Department of the Interior’s Heritage Documentation Program. That collaboration began in March of 2013 with the goals of both developing the four criteria for individual vehicles to be added to the register and selecting some candidates that would fit those criteria. The Cobra Daytona, better known as CSX2287, emerged as a candidate early on in the process. “
