Peter Brock turned some laps at Summit Point in one of the most beautiful sports cars I've ever seen. A few shots of Peter on track below. Enjoy!

Most likely a kit either Factory Five or Superformance.
Sweet ride either way.
On the Internet, as in life, there is no Shortage of Information, but Wisdom is a Valued Commodity. Spelling101, free and easy to use
Why is that most likely???
BTW, Superformance cars are not kits.
Ignorant men marvel at extraordinary things. Intelligent men admire simple things.
To me, it looks very similar to some Jaguars. A big plus, the ordinary guy could buy one.
There were only 6 made and all are worth in the millions of $.Originally Posted by cbreez99
I doubt any would be licensed for the street.
That's a dealer plate. I know George Stauffer drove his GT40s on the road with dealer plates; he probably drove his Daytona, too.

Lying was a no-brainer for me. Robin Miller
"I thought they booed [Danica] because she was being a complete jerk, but then they applauded for A.J. Foyt. Now I'm just confused."
There were street versions of GT40's, the MKIII, is that what he had?
Besides there were a lot more GT40's made so it wouldn't be a surprise to find some of them licensed if that's even possible.
Without an MSO, which race cars generally don't have, you can't register a car.
IIRC todays todays Cobra JET is sold without an MSO.
Why would you want to put license plate holes in a $15m car?
Plus none of the 6 had 3rd brake lights which this car appears to have.
I got Peter Brock's Autograph 1 week before he died, Legend
There is a couple of Photos i took at this years Goodwood Festival of Speed. Kenny Brack was driving
Cobras, GT40s, and Mark IVs were nominally legal road cars. This is a picture of a Daytona in Belgium in 1964.
Shelby American frequently raced its cars, including Daytonas, with its California manufacturer plates. The funniest license plate is the Chaparral 2D at the Nurburgring with a Texas plate on the back. Famously, Phil Spector registered and drove his Daytona in California.
It's up to states to title and register cars. The owners of these cars hold titles that were issued by Holman Moody, Alan Mann, JW Automotive, and Shelby American as manufacturers. As a rule, US states will register cars that meet the local legal standards at the time of manufacture. Virtually the only state legal standards for vehicles manufactured before 1968 were lights and a horn; mufflers were subjective.

Oh sorry thought you was talking about Australian Peter Brock who died racing a Daytona Coupe
Peter Brock (the Australian) died in a replica of a Daytona coupe.
Peter Brock (the American) designed the basic BODY for the original Daytona coupe. Once built it was found to be unstable at high speed and became a great racing car once a spoiler had been added by the very resourceful Philip Remington.
The car in the opening post appears to be the McCluskey replica that is a lot more accurate than the Superformance made in South Africa.
Are Daytonas the most valuable car in the world? $400k for a REPLICA of one?Actually the only difference between a McCluskey and the six originals is the history. Would LOVE to drive one.
