Saw a strange looking car that had me puzzled, I could of sworn i had seen it in a video game. Got closer and it hit me! It was a Shelby Daytona Coupe! Not too often you see one of these bad boys driving around. Did a quick google on them and saw the price tag $7.2 mil. Obviously this couldn't be a real one?
Were there reproductions made or something?

99% of any Daytona Cobra, GT40, or AC Cobra you see on the streets are replicas. There are various companies that make these in kit form. Real ones of these models are extremely rare with only a handful in Australia.
That is why replicas of those cars exist. If you are one of those idiots that say "buy a real one" to an owner of a replica, well why don't you try finding a real one yourself before buying even if you have 7 million to spend. |
