Dean Morrison’s Allied Cobra and the Arntz Cobra have no connection.
Dean is not related to Robert Morrison who made the first Corvette body’s.

Dean built Cobras in Tampa in the late 1970’s and made the Allied Cobras in Michigan City with body bucks he brought with him from Florida starting April 82.

He sold the bucks and Cheetah tooling he had also acquired to Everett in 1983.
E-M still has and uses the body bucks Dean used at Allied.

I think Dean just used the 1980 Arntz Plan A drawing in Allied ad linked above because it was easy and if that’s what you did who was going to stop you.

Tom at E-M said the whereabouts of Dean are unknown.
