Racing Heritage: 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe - Dan Gurney Edition 1:18 Scale by Shelby Collectibles
The 12 Hours of Reims took place in July 1964. Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant were at the wheel as they had been during the historic winning effort at Le Mans. Gurney set the fastest GT qualifying time during the race. Unfortunately, a broken tail shaft on the transmission put the car out of the race during the 2nd hour. This Daytona would go down infamy by having the unique distinction of carrying the famous Dan Gurney for President stickers on the rear fenders of the car. The only time that this ever happened! The candidacy was initiated and supported by the ever popular Car and Driver magazine. Dive into the rich history of American motorsports with the 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe, featuring the iconic '#15 Dan Gurney for President' livery, available in a 1:18 scale diecast model by Shelby Collectibles. This collector's piece perfectly captures the essence of Shelby's racing legacy with a masterfully plumbed and wired Shelby Racing V-8 under a forward-hinging clamshell hood. The doors and trunk open to reveal race-bred interior detailing and a spare tire under the rear window. Additional features like powder-coated side exhaust pipes, smooth rolling Goodyear tires, posable front wheels, and an authentic 'Dan Gurney for President' bumper sticker complete this exquisite model, making it an essential addition to any collection.
