Back when SAL/SAI was having "replica" auctions terminated on Ebay (at the height of the lawsuits) for using the words "Shelby", "427SC", or "Cobra", I had a good friend of mine write a successful disclaimer, very similar to what the various cobra forums use today. Stopped my auctions from being removed at that time. Sometimes it's all about the verbiage
