The Daytona coupe is one of the nicest looking cars ever made. And the beauty was 100% functional.
Sheer economics, Ford paid Shelby to do the GT40, which sapped all the manpower from the Daytona. One still has to wonder what if they had bankrolled the Daytona instead.
Politics was part of it, the GT40 was sourced more in the US.
FWIW Shelby is building new Daytonas. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
