Dennis beat me to bringing up the Daytona Coupe. For me it's pretty much a
tossup between the 250 GTO and the Daytona, maybe with a slight edge to the
Daytona. I've always wanted one but with only what, six, built chances are
pretty slim. ;>)
Seriously, I think Factory Five, or one of the other really reputable Cobra
kit companies, is offering very nice Daytona kits and after all my other
"toy" projects I might just have to put one together.
FWIW,
