Considered to be one of Hollywood’s most bankable teens back in the day, it would seem Frankie Muniz still hasn’t found what he was looking for. He started off as an actor, then turned to a music career, only to switch to racing. It turns out he is quite the avid driver considering he recently bought himself a beautiful Shelby Daytona replica.
Firstly, in case you’re wondering why the picture of his car is made out of two separate photographs sticked together, it’s because Frankie couldn’t manage to take the car in only one. So we figured it’s better to edit them into one photo. Good, now that we settled that, let us see what we are dealing with here.
Considering we’re looking at one of the most priceless collectables ever to exist, it’s pretty hard to believe Muniz actually owns one of the six cars. Moreover, looking at the exhaust pipes and its custom-finished hood, we’re sure this beauty is a replica. A good one nonetheless.
The artist
Francisco Frankie Muniz IV is an American actor, musician, writer, producer and racing driver. Sounds like an aspiring celebrity? Could be. However, he is known primarily as the star of the FOX television family sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, which earned him an Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Glove Award nominations. It was four years ago he put his acting career on hold to pursue an open wheel racing career.The car
Don't we all already know about Shelby Daytona? Created to specially take on Ferrari and its 250 GTO in the GT class, it was built for racing. Only six Shelby Daytona Coupes were built between 1964 and 1965, as Shelby was reassigned to the Ford GT40 project to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, again to beat Ferrari in the highest level prototypes class. With it Shelby became the first American constructor to win a title on the international scene at the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1965.Considering we’re looking at one of the most priceless collectables ever to exist, it’s pretty hard to believe Muniz actually owns one of the six cars.
