http://www.v8tvshow.com - This awesome 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601 is THE car that beat Ferrari with Bob Bondurant behind the wheel. After competing at Daytona, Monza, Spa and Nurburgring, CSX2601 made history when it clinched the 1965 World Manufacturers Championship for the United States and Shelby American on July 4 in Reims, France. It is powered by a production based Ford 289 V8, and it still holds the road like it did in its winning season. The car will be up for auction at the 2009 Mecum Spring Classic Auction... do you have what it takes to make it yours?

  • ...an awesome awesome car with a wonderful All-American heritage!

  • Dude, it doesn't get more American than Pete Brock and Carroll Shelby. The only thing not 100% American is the frame because the rule book said that in order for it to race, it had to have the same frame as the convertible. They would have changed the frame if they could! So don't go saying that this car is anything but American!

  • @Teara0731 .... All that being said. The Ferrari GTO 64 Did win the 1964 World GT Championship. The Shely Cobra Daytona, did not.

  • @wonderbreadkw What's the super car race? must be in Mexico

  • @Jellyform You forgot the body was made in Italy

  • @mrzip8 What's highly modified? You mean, engine, gear box and rear end is highly modified

  • @2girls1cupfan01 RIGHT!!!! Wait, I'm an American. I saw much of this happen. It is an American team, using a machine with British roots and parts, developed in California by an indy car guy on a team run by a successful American driver

  • @304teddy Wow! Are you miss-informed. You are right about the 427, but that's not the subject here. Just keep putting the Hi-jackers on your El Camino, so the big tires will fit

  • @Jellyform They don't care. Most American's are full of crap. A good sounding story beats reality every time

  • @mrzip8 Only one 427 coupe was built and it never won anything

  • @rmj134 Dude..........Girling brakes and Armstrong shocks..............British frame and suspension....................­..... Jaguar diff. What difference does it make. Shelby American was an American team using the best the world had to offer.

  • @RenSs75 or 5 or 6
