There is no opinion here and nothing to debate on the points you make.

A Cobra is not a Ford as you say. It is a Shelby car with the body sourced from AC and it always had a Ford motor. This is a fact. Your opinion that a Cobra is not a Ford is correct but it is fact not opinion that Ford did not build the Cobra and it is fact that a Cobra used a Ford motor. Nothing to debate.

If you want to build "a hot rod that just happens to use the Cobra body" then you get a hot rod with a Cobra body.
