Running alongside the Daytona Coupes in the 1965 World Manufacturers Championship, Shelby’s cars made their way into the U.S. and European winner's circles.

Under the hood is a 302-cid V8 engine, bored and stroked to 363-cid and topped with four Weber carburetors and velocity stacks. Modifications such as aluminum heads, a hydraulic roller camshaft, "R" valve covers, ceramic-coated headers and side pipes all come together for a blistering 500-horsepower.
