Evan,
At the time I posted the original article here (feel free to stop by the house, and I'll show you the original copy of the magazine), things were quited heated......The article was posted to quite down those who were most adamant on both sides of the equation. CS over the years (both before and after surgery) has made similar statements over and over and over, some published in magazine articles, others archived in video...yet the same feelings were always there.....it was not until after SAI started up production of their continuation cars that anyone ever considered a lawsuit....Those are the undisputed facts..............As for myself, my feelings are quite simple, A: Nobody wins in a lawsuit, and B: If it was not for SAAC and the replica companies out there(some dating back as early as 1972), the Cobra would have faded away, to be remembered as "just another neat old sports car"............Perhaps my original statement of the current costs of the lawsuit vs the $$$$$ amount of "world wide free press" on all parties involved holds true as well...........Crafty as it sounds, it makes some sense to all who sit back and think about it as well........
Yours in Fords,
Bill S.
