Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

What to check before buying

Match the chassis to period coachwork, race entries, ownership and restoration records. Check body and drivetrain observations against dated documents.

CSX 2300’s former Shelby ownership and competition record are distinct from its August 2026 hammer and premium-inclusive results. Use the chassis dossier for both figures.

Documented auction results
