 Car #10 is an original Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe chassis no. CSX2287 (the prototype). Car #1 is chassis CSX2196, a 427 prototype Cobra known as "The Turd." Race is Sebring 1964.

CORRECTION: While CSX2196 did compete as car #1 at Sebring 1964, the 289 Cobra roadster pictured above is actually CSX2259 which ran as #11.

 CSX2287 was the development car and entirely built at the Shelby American race shop in Venice, California, and the only Daytona of the six originals which was not built in Italy (by Carrozzeria Gransport in Modena), although the name of the Californian town is unfortunate in this respect.
