1/18 1964 Daytona Coupe #15 "Dan Gurney for President"

1964 Daytona Coupe - #15 Dan Gurney For President (SC18003) Viking Blue in 1/18 Scale model by Shelby Collectibles (New)

Story of the car:
The 12 Hours of Reims took place in July 1964. Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant were at the wheel as they had been during the historic winning effort at Le Mans. Gurney set the fastest GT qualifying time during the race. Unfortunately, a broken tail shaft on the transmission put the car out of the race during the 2nd hour.

This Daytona would go down infamy by having the unique distinction of carrying the famous Dan Gurney for President stickers on the rear fenders of the car. The only time that this ever happened! The candidacy was initiated and supported by the ever-popular Car and Driver magazine.
