The 1965 Daytona Cobra was one of six cars built by Shelby to compete against Ferrari in the FIA World Manufacturers Championship GT class. It stared out as an experimental coupe body designed by Peter Brock built on an existing Cobra chassis,
immediately increasing the top speed by 25 mph. That car won its first race, the 1964 Daytona Continental (hence the car’s Daytona name), and five more coupes were built, including CSX2601, the car that sold on Saturday.
After competing at Daytona, Monza, Spa and Nurburgring, CSX2601 clinched the 1965 World Manufacturers Championship on July 4 in Reims, France, with Bondurant at the wheel.
