Uh,,,,,,,I'm not sure Shelby currently has the legal right to place a "Cobra" emblem on their car. Perhaps to use the "name" Cobra is used with permission from Ford. Acutally I'm not clear on the factual legal arrangements between Ford and SAI.

Being as Shelby sold Ford the name for a dollar and being as their are "partners" after a fashion I imagine Ford is at least "looking the other way".

BUT, I don't know that SAI "Cobras" can leave the "factory" with a Cobra Emblem on the car.

.......and hey, I'm a BIG Shelby fan and yes I think the only "real" Cobras ARE built by the man himself, C.S.

Ford is making a continuation GT-40 but can't call it that. So they call it a "GT". Same thing in my mind, another "rose by another name" by the same author of same.
