A friend of a friend bought the car as a daily driver. I got it in Feb. �90 with 5800 miles. It took another 3 1/2 to find the right person to get the correct history. It is a pilot car that ended up as a Team Shelby playtoy. They were trying to persuade Paul Newman�s race team to campaign Daytonas in the Trans Am Series. The original Twilite Blue was covered in white with blue and red on top (Newman�s paint scheme). Being a pilot car, there are numerous minor differences between it and production vehicles and one option that I don�t believe was ever offered on Daytonas.
