If your like me, and don't have the money for a full size Daytona Coupe, you can always collect literature and models. Exoto makes several incredibly detailed 1:18 versions. Kyosho's 1:43 scale is also very nicely detailed. Matchbox recently came out with one in their collectors' series and is 1:64 scale.I have recently purchased two of the Exotos, a Kyosho, and a 1:43 Vangaurd model. I've also been collecting any magazine that has articles on this great car and my collection has started to grow. |

Here's a shot of some of my latest additions to my collection. The magazine was purchased from a vintage racer who met Pete Brock at an event and had it autographed. The blue model is of CSX 2601 as it was painted when Shelby clinched the championship at Reims. The red one is of CSX 2602 in the colors of the Swiss Scuderia Fillipinetti team for the 1965 Le Mans. (Ford had run out of available entry slots so the car was loaned for this race. It was repainted back to guardsman blue after the race). |
