Unusual to see this replica in grey.
There are quite a number of manufacturers of the Shelby Daytona Coupe so I'll throw in a first guess - Shell Valley?

It's not actually supposed to be a Shelby Daytona replica - just looks like one but the proportions are different!

Hi all friends after so long without visiting the site I see there have been many changes and I really like. I´m looking forward to returning to play regularly but I have to solve some problems before.

I think I can solve this puzzle, It is Know as Dan Rose Special.

A note about the builder and his car

Dr. Dan Rose is an internationally exhibited artist, with a PhD in cultural anthropology, is professor Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, and is the author of several scholarly books of cultural anthropology, as well as essays, white papers and artist books published by Pure Theory. Rose has inherited a spectrum of influences that permeate his art ― including the appropriation of “primitive” art, prison art, naïve houses, plastic vehicles and toys from the 70’s and 80’s, self-constructed and modified vehicles and airplanes influenced by 30’s aerodynamic streamlining, and the poetics and science of dirt.

The Dan Rose Special is a one off re-design of Peter Brock’s 1964 original design of the Daytona Cobra Coupes for the Shelby American Racing Team. It is an evolution of the designs of Carlo Anderloni for Ferrari 166MM (1948-49), to John Tojeiro and his Specials and the AC Ace (1953-54), and finally Peter Brock for Shelby American Racing, Daytona Cobra Coupe (1963-65). The Dan Rose appeared wider and shorter than Daytona Cobra.

I expect come back soon

Excellent white12 and at last this old puzzle is solved!
Strange that someone with such colourful taste in ties should choose Primer Grey as a colour for such an interesting car!

I understood Dan Rose lives in Stanford, Vermont, but that may or may not be correct info!
