If there’s one name in American motorsports that commands both reverence and awe, it’s Shelby. And if there’s one car that solidified Carroll Shelby’s place in racing history, it’s the Daytona Coupe. Now, BIDRAuctions.com is proud to present a rare opportunity to own a continuation of this iconic machine: the 1964 Shelby CSX9000 Daytona Coupe, chassis CSX9170, available now and ending at 3:30 PM EST on August 8th, 2025.
A Legend with a Purpose
In the early 1960s, after decimating domestic competition with the Cobra, Carroll Shelby had his eyes set on Europe. He needed something with more aerodynamic prowess to take on high-speed courses like Le Mans. Enter Peter Brock, Ken Miles, and the masterpiece they helped engineer—the original Shelby Daytona Coupe. With only six originals ever made, the car went on to claim the 1965 FIA World Sportscar Championship GT III class title, besting Ferrari and becoming the only American manufacturer to ever do so.
Fast forward to today, and Shelby American’s CSX9000 Continuation Series brings that heritage back to life. And CSX9170 is nothing short of breathtaking.
Guardsman Blue Glory: The Exterior
From every angle, this Daytona Coupe commands attention. Finished in Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes and a matching half-cove, the car’s sculpted Kamm tail and aggressive stance scream race-bred heritage. Underneath the hand-laid fiberglass body lies a full paint protection film (PPF) wrap, preserving the impeccable finish.
You’ll also find:
-
18” Halibrand-style knock-off wheels
-
Functional brake ducting
-
Covered headlights and integrated driving lights
-
Etched Carroll Shelby signature door pulls
-
Period-correct Le Mans-style fuel filler
-
Polished side mirrors and reverse light
Every detail is executed with the intent to blend period authenticity with modern usability.
Track Meets Comfort: The Interior
Inside, this Daytona Coupe balances motorsport minimalism with well-appointed touches. Black leather bucket seats feature white stitching and embroidered Shelby logos, while Alcantara wraps the headliner and dashboard. Vintage-style Stewart Warner gauges, a Shelby chassis plaque, and a 3-spoke Daytona steering wheel connect you directly to the car’s race-inspired DNA.
Additional modern conveniences include:
-
Bluetooth audio system with subwoofer
-
Air conditioning
-
Power windows and locks
-
Dynamat sound deadening
-
Rollbar and Shelby door sills
It’s the ideal environment for spirited canyon carving or a long highway cruise.
Muscle with Modern Manners: The Powertrain
At its heart beats a Prestige Motorsports-built 427ci V8 topped with a Borla 8-Stack fuel injection system—bringing the soul of a 1960s race car into the 21st century. Paired to a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual, power is sent to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential.
Underpinning it all:
-
Coilover suspension with dual A-arms front and rear
-
Power rack-and-pinion steering
-
Shelby GT-spec brakes with slotted rotors and dual-piston calipers
-
Dual side-pipe exhaust with a soul-stirring soundtrack
With just over 3,300 miles (factoring in a documented odometer replacement), this car has been broken in and is ready for its next chapter.
Not Just a Tribute—A Continuation
This isn’t a kit car. This is a Shelby American Continuation Daytona Coupe, fully eligible for the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) registry. Chassis CSX9170 carries Shelby’s DNA both in spirit and in paperwork. Included in the sale are tools, jack, and two sets of keys.
Whether you’re looking to tour, collect, or track—this Daytona Coupe delivers the rare chance to experience a piece of American racing history reimagined for today.
