WOW.. Micheal owned 3 of the original cars at the same time...!! These 289s were fast and light.. Imagine driving the 427 Super Coupe
sheesh, those pictures w/ the originals - wow!!
At first I was like oh another recreation. And then i was like whoaaa not just another recreation, an amazingly sophisticated engineering of historical knowledge shaped into metal.
That is a very nice comment, I will forward it to the owner of the car!
When I was in college 1973 at Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois there was a guy who had a 289 Cobra and a 4?? Cobra. Additionally, he had a Daytona Coupe. It had 'dimples' in the roof to fit the helmet worn by [I think he said] Dan Gurney. The owner had both legs burned off when the solvent he was using to clean the floor is an Ammco Transmission shop. He sued and he won big. That's all I know.
By far the best sounding and best looking cars ever created
Dropped that beemer like it was standing still! Well done!
I love that car. I love the story on how fast they built the car. From paper to testing and optimizing it.
Love it You can get a feel how hard it pulls when he hits second . Mommys car disappeared from view
Great video. Thank you for posting. I bought Micheal's book last year after, purchasing a gen 1 Factory Five Coupe. #405. I have great respect for those who build cars like mine. An original. Nope. Perfect copy. Nope. Gorgeous. Yup. Absolute blast to drive. Yup. Surrounded by others who feel the same at cruise night. Yup. Again thanks for posting and I encourage all to buy Micheal's book. Great history and so informative.
Thank you for giving us all this amazing gift...
Definitely buying his book
Having two of the original 6 at the same time 🤯 Ca-razy man. Just mind boggling
I remember seeing Mike's Hill and Gurney-driven FIA Cobra waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy back in the early '80s at Bell Ford's All-Ford car show and swap meet. I was maybe 14 and there to buy a trunk lid for my '66 Mustang coupe but was struck with a love for Cobras that I've never shaken.
Hi,
Well it wasn't quite like you said because there was no German guy with original car to copy. We actually developed it ourselves using original blueprints and publicly available photos for recreating the car. We've never had an original Coupe in our workshop.
It's very nice to see people being thrilled with the work we've done and how our builds are being considered one of the best recreations in the world.
Cool I will forward this to Mike
Did you have anything to do with the coupe that Kenny Brack ran at Goodwood 2011? Was that the original 2300 or a copy?
@@cobraferrariwars I don't think we did. However we don't track all the builds we sold over last decade.
do you still make these? what's your website?
What a beautiful car and a wonderful story.
In my opinion this is the greatest looking car all the time
Thank you sir... I love learning the history of the cars and how they differed from each other. I'm surprised so many guys choose the Cobra over the Daytona Coupe. The coupe was a far superior car.
Wow what a beautiful car and what a great story thanks
The chickens cackling in the background is a nice touch ;^)
I must take issue with your statement that the Italians were better coach builders...my father hammered the very first prototype at California Metal shaping in Los Angeles. After you make the first of a new design you will always refine the later cars, and I'm sure my father and his co-workers would have done the same. The quality of workmanship that California Metal Shaping produced was second to none. The work done at said shop, stands for itself, in Peterson and other auto museums.
William Berger just finished Pete Brock’s new book on the De Tomaso Can Am car he designed for Shelby, which was built by the same Modena shop that did the Daytonas. He didn’t say they were better than Cal Metal, but he was amazed at what they were able to do without the power tools that Americans had in the 60s.
One of the most innovative bunch of engineers that ever worked together but I would need at least another 100hp
Pretty cool!
I met Michael at Sears Point Raceway back in the early nineties. Also met Carroll (for the 2nd time). Mike is a great guy. He allowed me & my son to sit in his REAL Daytona Coupe. Being 6'5"- It took some time. There is no way I could drive the car-It was built for small people. Also met Bob Bondurant. They all signed my copy of Mike's Incredible book "The Cobra-Ferrari Wars". Great Video Mike.! Remember me? You sold your Daytona shortly after that Cobra meet. I drove my Everett-Morrison 427 to that meet.
I regret that I do not remember but I might with a photo. I used to do that a lot. I am glad that you and your son got to sit in the car. I suppose I would have given you a ride if the track had permitted. Had to sell the car. Great car and great story. Thank you for your kind words on the book. Mike Shoen
@@cobraferrariwars When did you bring your Original Coupes to Laguna Seca?
@@MrGTO-ze7vb Brought coupe to Laguna Monterey Historics 1975. Very nice people. Came with Don Roberts now deceased. Great guy.
@@cobraferrariwars Thanks Michael.!
Coolest sounding car ever.
Ya we loved filming that thing and they driver/owner had tons of fun making runs
Solid gold.
A few years ago,i saw an exact same color one driving on Mulholland.It was so badass.I saw a black one with the number 8 parked in Venice a couple of yrs ago.I dont know if they were originals or not but they are beautiful and in a league of their own.Masterpieces.
What a beauty!!
10:25 ... I HAD TO WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN ... :-)))))))))
Me as well! I love all of Caroll Shelby's creations. I owned a 67 GT 350 for a number of years and I foolishly sold the car a few years before the price went through the roof. I doubt I will ever be able to own one again.
Same! I wished the camera had pulled back on the zoom to see that Bimmer 1,000 yards, sorry meters, behind!
Thanks, Yeah the Coup is Bad Ass✌️. My Favorite Car All time.
A legend among cars
That has to be the most exquisite Daytona Coupe replica, the Daytona Coupe's my dream car but all of the replicas out there don't look right. They all seem to have different proportions compared to the originals but this one is perfect.
Thanks a lot, we passed your comment to the owner!
That's because this one is based on the 1964 car while almost all of the other replicas are based on 1965s
I will drink to that. Great history lesson too. Time to cook, Old School.
Great build! Congrats on the shakedown, best of luck in '18.
OMG, that sound !! you can tell the different between new cars (fast ones) with old school.. I want one!!!
I love this guys watch.
Ya he has a sense of humor.
Wow amazing
ya, that thing is crazy cool
Love it
America's E Type....Simply Beautiful
Very well made even as a replica sounds damn good also.
ya it was super nice
Amazing car and history. I’ll buy the book now, never knew it existed and I’m looking to get a Kirkham Coupe and deciding on a manual or auto.
Wonderful information on the coupes . They are my favorite out of all the shelby cars! ❤
For sure and my 2nd is 68 GT500
@@CoolCarVideo good 2nd choice 👌
Halibrand cast aluminum wheels, years back Ted Halibrand sold the business and it was moved to El Cajon, California, I was lucky to work for the new owner and Ted would stop by at Christmas time for lunch.
Think about it he own three of the originals at once, amazing. Back then they probably sold them for a song and a dance.
I drove a Superformance..Had it to 145..on the 57...in LA..very stable..
Absolutamente incrível
Fantastic video. I'm currently building a Coupe.
nice, love those cars, what color and what engine?
@@CoolCarVideo I'm going with the 1965 Guardsman Blue color and a 347 stroker motor
WOW! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 😎 🏁
One of the Greatest Machines Ever Built.
Interestingly Shelby admitted later that the first drawing with an extended tail ( I forget the engineers name now ) that would later be found on a Porsche 917 was what they should have done.
Awesome car and owner!
Interesting!! This guy knows the cobra 🐍. I wish it was a longer video..
we are working now on a 427 cobra video and we have a video about the Cobra 3 prototype if you are interested
Cool Car Video yes I'm interested. I'll subscribe.
Special persons special cars
Looks better than any modern sportcar
Need more half mile an mile runs.👍👍👍👍👍
Wow looked like you had a rocket motor fitted !!
ya that thing goes
This is where the inception of the viper came from.
I would love to know how he feels a factory five coupe compares.
From as much we know Mike, he loves them all even modified ones, he is just happy that people continuing the line sort of speak. There was only 6 originals made so it is cool to see more of them on the roads.
My Dad had a 64 Vette convertible with a 327 in it. He drag raced it and daily drove it, he said he ran away from the 289 Cobra. A guy showed up with a 427 and he was far and away out ran. The 427 ran all over some of the purpose built drag cars as well. Fiercely fast cars.
Cobra yeah but not the Cobra Daytona
Bull fucking shit!!!!
@FOSTBITTEN - If your Dad's Vette was a stock 327, I have some difficulty in buying that line! Never mind the Cobra, in SCCA B Production racing, the Shelby Mustang GT 350 with a 289 beat the snot out of the 327 Corvette 3 years running for the B Production Championship.
Owned three of the OGs.... That's insane. Oh wait, at the same time.... WTF
What sort of engine is in this very car (in video) ? 289CUI?
Back in the spring of 1968, I was getting ready to go SCCA racing. I was about 24. I had owned a '63 Corvette Sting Ray when the first came out in 1963. I had experience racing that car on a local level.
But in '68, I toyed with the idea of going with a Cobra for B Production. When I was talking to the dealer, they said they could get me a Daytona coupe. Price...$12,000 delivered to Baltimore.
Sadly that was above my budget. Plus, I wasn't sure if it fit in B Production regs. And it was a Ford & I had no Ford experience. So I went with a Corvette.
While the Cobra would be a lot more today, the Vette worked out better as it was eligible to run in the IMSA Camel GT series. The Cobra wasn't.
But I still think "What if".
Cool story, do you still have the Vette?
Vetts suck!!
it took a shakedown run for them to figure out the wheels should be balanced? Where is run after the shakedown? It didn't sound like they had it geares short. I have a 37 year old Honda Magna V-45 that will hit 130 in 3/8's of a mile.I think he's out of practice with the shifter and they must have rolled out of it before a half-mile. Weren't they running at 180 or better on Mulsanne? That is a hell of a sound though ain't it? what was the compression ratio?
10:39 the Daytona smoked that other car
Which company made the aluminium body for this car? He mentioned Poland
Caro Car in Poland. This is their facebook page facebook.com/Caro-Cars-222376764869226
On that day, the BMW was the "Ultimate Losing Machine."😂🤣😂
Do you know about the guy in Shasta Lake who owns an original ?
Dude looks alot like Murray Walker - fitting.
Bonjour cette personne a l .air tres sympath sy je comprend bien cest une replica !!!!Parler pluto de l authentic voiture de Mr Spencer.. Elle qui est rester dans un box pendant de nombreuse annee et qui a ete reconnect au 🇺🇸 art ....history tres interressant ...lepeltier Ferrari geneve suisse 😮😮😮amicalement..
Bonjour
Tout d'abord, c'est par Google Translate, donc je suis désolé si ça ne sonne pas correctement.
Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles et nous sommes honorés que des personnes de l'extérieur des États-Unis regardent les vidéos.
Nous sommes toujours à la recherche d'une voiture intéressante pour faire des vidéos. Voici 2 autres vidéos avec le commentaire de Mike : la 904 Porsche et la 427 Cobra.

that guy sure got bit by the COBRA , what do you think ?
I had read somewhere that the original cars were pretty much junked after they finished out there racing career . Could that possibly be true?
They were not junked. I bought the last one from Shelby in 1969 for $5,100. A school teacher purchased coupe 2286 for $4,000 a few days before me. Shelby advertised all the coupes and some of the competition roadsters at the end of 1965 and most were sold then, "as is". CSX 2287, the Salt Flats car, sold for less than $4K. My coupe had miscellaneous dents, a broken right exhaust, a cracked driver's window and mold on the carburetor manifold. We fixed the exhaust and cleaned the manifold and the car ran excellent. I purchased competition roadster CSX 2345 and it was in good condition except for one broken suspension mount and paint stains. That car could put hair on your chest. Shelby offered three of the coupes, the Cobra transporter and one of the roadsters to Alan Mann racing in England at the end of 1965 for $18,000. Mann declined.
michael shoen what makes the Daytona coupes sound as good as they do? They just make sounds and noises that I’ve seen no other car or engine make
What would an original sell for now?
@@sblack48 Lot of money. They keep going up. I suppose they will stop when people realize you can pound a Cobra with an electric Tesla. Maybe it is the history attached. That was a great time and a real adventure with good people all round.
michael shoen You have absolutely no clue. Classics have character, history, sound, road feel and make you feel alive. A tesla is just a disposable appliance. Landfill junk. No comparison whatsoever. Only God knows why you would ever want to, but no one is going to be collecting teslas in 20 years and none of the electric cars produced today will even be running by then.
Who was the company that built it?
Caro Cars in Poland facebook.com/carocarspl
A great car if you 6 foot tall and 185 pounds. If someone was 6'-7' and had deep pockets ($$$) could he get this car 3 inches longer wheel base/more leg room. Where does someone get some updated frame. ... Make them lighter .... make them wider ... make them lower....
what is the colour code of this car please?
I'm pretty sure it's Viking blue. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
Just got a woody......
Of course it's smoke to the other car the other car was no threat whatsoever
anyone know the paint code? its beautiful
The owner of the car does not know the paint code but the name of the color is Ford Viking Blue
@@CoolCarVideo thanks
How much do these things cost?
Origonals go for for millions replicas start at like 15k-200k$ depending on quality
So I got this from the Builders themself:
The price for business customers of a CC-2(Daytona) build we offer including all the extra elements listed below is 200 000 PLN net. Please note that if you buy it as a private person we will have to add 23% VAT tax. (around $64,000 in 2019 exchange rates, that includes the VAT tax)
The 200 000 PLN price includes:
- Steel chassis, sandblasted and pistol painted;
- Full aluminum car body, file finished; (New and improved version with round lamps)
- All aluminum internal panels, powder-coated: cockpit and trunk section: black, engine section: white.
- Glass, attested car windshield;
- All custom made windows and plexiglas elements fitted on the car(headlight covers, door windows, behind doors scoops, side air deflectors, trunk cover);
- Aluminum fuel tank;
- Fiberglass spoiler;
- Aluminum air cooling vents for breaks;
- Turkey pan for carburetors;
The wait time is a bit more than a year right now.
@@CoolCarVideo and how much with the engine and drive train?
hi👋👋likr👏👏good👍👍friend🤝🤝🤝🤝🏌♂️🏌🏌♂️🏌
187🤣🤣🤣🤣 killing it💪🏼
LOL...it got really angry and hungry as lined up with other car
what hp in this?
The Daytona coupe horsepower is 330, a Ford crate engine. The original cars were 385 hp.
@@CoolCarVideo wow it really moves with only 330hp.
Guess it’s about 1100kg.
oh ya 330hp in 60s mustang is nothing to sneeze on, this something this light, makes it a rocket. The originals must of been scary fast, a specially for 1960s
@@shadmonk - Bob Bondurant's Daytona Coupe with the 385hp 289 hit 197 mph down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans!
You have to wonder if this is what inspired Datsun Z cars.
From what we heard it was this and Ferrari 250 GTO
Cindy Sue or the Toyota 2000 GT
the car be needing twin turbos then i bet with right gears taller gearing turbos love to work under load , it would bust 200 mph no problem in the half hell you set it up right it would bust 200 in the quarter mile put a lsx 454 chevy in her with nelson racing twin turbo pump 2500 hp with track sprayed with vht and that car would run 7 seconds all day at over 200 mph maybe in the 6 sec range
That would do the trick to go over 200 but he just wanted the car to be exactly like the original CSX2300 and hey just took it to the half a mile races for fun and to open it up a bit. But It would be fun to see one hit 200
Fuck a piece of shit Chevy!!!!
No, fuck aspiration swaps and engine swaps, original or nothing
want to like but its on 420
Amazing car. the air dynamics on that car are insane. I wonder what that body would do with a tesla motor.
he he he do a search for RENOVO COUPE ;)
Tesla wtf your not a inthusioust
Would anybody care?
Is that what you call a fly by ? LOL
Right, that is why we made this video, just to enjoy that sound once in the while th-cam.com/video/xRmrCd6htSs/w-d-xo.html
I give Shoen credit for being honest up front. He says, “Replicated, Recreation, Copy, Recreated” frequently. Nice, but similar to a ‘blow-up’ sex doll. Just not the same...
So if you can build that why not put your excellent talents to building the super coupe, Sir? Crowd fund it. Right now people would stuff money through your letter box to do it with the hype of Ford Ferrari running high
Aluminum firewall is an oxymoron, like military intelligence.
Silly BMW.
LOL
Looks like he accidentally selected reverse!
Nice car, But it is copy, not even made in the USA , Poland ,come on ,
Yes, the others were made in the state of Italy.
You do realize the cobra came from England right?? Look up AC. Yes it's ford motor..
@@9104311 uhmm, no, not really. The Cobra started out as an A.C. Ace. I believe Bristol stopped supplying A.C Cars with their engines, causing a supply issue. All original Cobras were built up by Shelby American. The Cobra Coupe was designed (by Peter Brock) and built in the U.S.A. The AC Ace and the original 289 Cobra were of U.K. origin, but were modified. The 427 version was heavily changed from the original. Not much left of the original design, some of the body and chassis, I guess. The Ace was a great car however. Hope it isn't raining there!
TommyMacDaddy1 thanks for the details. And it's snowing lol.
@@9104311 not much better here. Cheers!
Waaay too chatty. Just show us the race!
You're an idiot.
Let the man tell us the facts please. Patience is a virtue son!!
dont get me wrong its beatiful car but its not build by shelby I'm sure it superb car. stop calling it replica its fake version of daytona coupe.
Awesome car and owner!
There are not many things I wouldn't do to have one of those beauties!! lol
he he we understand
