2020 FACTORY FIVE TYPE 6S

The Shelby Daytona Coupé isn’t just a car — it’s motorsport royalty. Built to take on Ferrari’s 250 GTO and victorious at Sebring, Le Mans and the RAC Tourist Trophy, it became a 1965 GT Championship winner and an American racing icon. With only six originals in existence, ownership is reserved for the ultra‑elite.

Factory Five’s Type 65 Coupe is the closest most enthusiasts will ever get to that legend — and this example is one of the truly standout builds. Self built over two years with exceptional care, it captures the raw, purposeful look of the original Daytona with remarkable authenticity. The silver‑on‑black plates, the period‑correct detailing, the stance — it all feels right.

Underneath the classic silhouette sits modern, confidence‑inspiring engineering: Koni suspension, Tremec gearbox, Mustang‑derived brakes and differential. It looks like the 1960s, but it drives with the reliability and usability you want today.

With a clean MOT to May 2027 - it’s ready to enjoy immediately. And the driving experience? - “it’s like stepping back in time — the smell, the noise, the raw power — unforgettable”.

If you want a car that turns heads, sparks conversations and delivers a visceral, old‑school racing thrill every time you fire it up, this Type 65 Coupe is it. Perfect for shows, road trips, or the run to Le Mans Classic — it’s a chance to own a piece of American racing mythology without the price tag.
