I think the Factory Five option is a better one. Proven. They are in Massachussetts, USA.

I stood beside a real one at Amelia Island as it drove past to go to the show area.

One of the worst days of my life.

I had the chance to buy one from Shelby with all the spares in the late 60's (in Shelby's shop with a Can Am car) for the pricely sum of $5,000.00 US Dollars!

Those were the days we used to say "nothing is older than last years Ferrari". Also long before historic racing in North America.

don't be too hard on yourself. We all have stories like that. Mine tend to be ones where I bought the POS that I shouldn't have... Not to change the subject, but don't know whether you're following but my engine is not more. Kind of at an impasse.

Hi, here are some extra images of the Daytona Coupe.

It is based on a BMW 3 series (E36 from 1991 to 1998/1999).

It uses many BMW components like the rear axle, brakes, steering, seats and many more.
You can fit several engines like American V8, BMW V8 or BMW from the donor.
