Most likely a replica, but there is a huge car museum nearby and it was sporting antique plates, so you never know. Anyone know how to tell the difference? I can see it has the knock off wheels, and they didn't look like fakes.

Shot of the rear, for those that are into that kind of thing:

It's a Superformance Coupe. The real car had fixed-in-place windows with small slot openings and a riveted rear windscreen. Plus those wheels look like 18" or 20" types.

No body hates a replica that looks that damn good .. If only they put 18" Wheels on these things when they were originally made .. mm mm mmmm

I figured it was Superformance or Factory Five and after looking up Superformance it is an exact match. Too bad, would have been cool to see a real one. Either way it must be blast to drive.

Yeah, even a replica of a Daytona Coupe must be fun as hell to drive.

The Factory Five or Superperformance kit car of this is basically my #1 dream car.

"Most likely a replica"

Count on it. If you take the "All Daytona Coupes are replicas" stand, you will be right 99% of the time.

Looks like this one was the Superformance kit. Very well done

True, and the 1% of the time you are wrong will still be amazing. Because you saw a real Daytona Coupe in the wild.

Wheels are too big. Replica.

That being said, I don't know why everyone gives shit to Shelby replicas. They're amazing to drive.

That moment happend to me a few weeks ago. Jagvar posted photos of a Daytona Coupe, and the DC auto show, and I dismissed it as fake.

Then I realized it was the prototype ex-Phil Spector missing CSX2287 on display.

I almost ran out the door to go downtown and see it.

I've never seen a real Daytona Coupe, but I have seen the 1966 24 hrs of Daytona winning GT40 in person 2 years ago:

Gotta be a replica.... On a related note, there's a real one at the Philly Auto Show this week - first one produced, completely unrestored.

Goddamn, that is awesome. This is probably the first time I've ever said this, but I wish I was in Philly right now!
And yeah mine was definitely a replica. We figured it was the Superformance one.

You can get pin drive wheels pretty easily, FYI. They're really popular on Cobra replicas, so that's not much of an identifier.

Definitely a replica. The big wheels are a dead giveaway.
