Although I have remained out of these arguments for the 3 years I've been a CC member, Evan's question did set me to thinking.

If CS had protected his rights early on and there had there been no Cobra replica industry, I offer up two scenarios for discussion:

1.) The car ends up with a huge cult following, and prices become astronomical for those eventually offered for sale. Prices reaching Ferrari 250 GTO levels. We are left with the 400 or so 60's originals.

2.) At the peak of the Kollector Kar Kraze in the late 80's, CS authorizes a few dozen clones (ala Cunningham) to be built, and the bidding is on!. The gene pool becomes slightly diluted.
