Shelby Daytona

The Daytona was a coupe version of the Shelby Cobra. It was named after the famous oval racetrack in Florida, which had become noted for its 24-hour endurance race using an infield road course. Despite its name it was of no relation to the Dodge Daytona and Chrysler did not file suit. The car also did not compete in NASCAR, being a sports car rather than a sedan. The Daytona formed the basis for the modern Dodge Viper.
