DOMESTIC INDULGENCE // DAYTONA DOWN THE CORKSCREW

There are few cars as important as the Shelby Daytona Coupe. Based loosely on the AC Cobra's chassis and drive-train, the Daytona Coupe was built specifically to take on Ferrari in the GT class. Pete Brock designed the Daytona's bodywork, while Bob Negstad designed the car's suspension. In 1964, Dave MacDonald and Bob Holbert drove a Daytona Coupe to a GT class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring, while Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant took the GT class win at Le Mans that same year // [comment]
