Neighbors new toy! Shelby Daytona Coupe.

Right, perfect and awesome. Now, try to replicate it. Not gonna happen. There are capable builders out there crying in their beer years after purchase, trying to get their GTM operable. It's a shit show of a platform. Unless you're a glutton for punishment you'd be better off spending $40k on [too many used track cars to count] and being out there flinging fast laps sooner, quicker, and with way less effort.

That friend who is building the 818 told me he wanted to do a GT40 kit with an EcoBoost to sell. Fortunately, I convinced him that guys who buy completed GT40 kits want FE blocks and the more authentic, the better. Gurney bubbles are a plus.

I think it'd be interesting to have a Ecoboost GT40. But I'd rather have a authentic FE 427 behind my head.

It's 100% a kit. There are 6 in existence and are worth $20M+

Nevertheless, still a badass car

Agreed, and they are all fully known in terms of who owns them. I have a friend who is a huge fan and he has physically seen all 6. The one in Japan was the hardest to see in person.

Looking at that list of cars he does have, I knew right away "no way" was that a real Shelby Daytona. That and the fact that only 6 are in existence. Still a cool car in kit form.

I know when I saw this pop up for sale...it had my interest...but its always hard to tell with someone else's project...how well was it put together, or if you'd just have a bunch of rework to do...
It has to be a blast though!!
