The Cobra Coupe BEFORE the Daytona...

[mosconiac]

Did you know there was a coupe built on the Cobra platform in 1963 to compete in the 1964 LeMans? This was an independently-produced car (Cobra Coupe A98, 2 built) and long before the factory-supported Daytona coupe program.

How this tidbit had escaped me for all these years is beyond me!

Pete Brock claimed he developed the Daytona body by reading aerodynamics books, but maybe he liked the A98 profile too...lots of similarities.
