TURK,
Interesting points taken but let's go a few steps further. What would happen if all of the cobra computer sites were served "cease and desist" orders and were unable to defend their First Amendment Rights monetarily? The international consumer access to available replicas would be severely impeded and replica manufacturers would need to spend significantly more of their minimal profit margins to reach the same consumer base. Now in addition to eliminating the replica resources and decreasing the available market, the next logical step would be to consume readily available suppliers of entire inventories, thus eliminating the availability of replacement resources for renegade builders. The prospect seems dismal, but alas, there is a saving grace...it's called RICO which Uncle Sam maintains a very adamant position. Hypothetical, maybe, but if a major big three manufacturer were entertaining the idea of re-introducing the cobra marque, wouldn't it be rather quaint as well as prosperous to lay the groundwork?

Something interesting happened last week, a Shelby Cobra was offered at auction on eBay. The car was assembled by a "reputable" Canadian builder. Now if I were purchasing a Shelby my question would logically be, is a Shelby assembled in Canada equal to a Shelby assembled at the factory by Shelby American and does it maintain the same value?
