I believe the Cobra name is joined more to the Mustang than our AC Ace replica's.

The Cobra name has been used on the Mustang since the 70s. Starting with the Mustang II and with the coiled snake emblem non the less.
That is a long time.
The Cobra name was also used on late '60's GT500 mustangs, and maybe GT350's. In addition, the fairlane based muscle car was called a cobra as well. Not to be confused with the cobra-jet engine. Then came the Mustang II "charlies angel" cobra, and so on.
