As I read this latest suit, it seems to be aimed more towards the Daytona Coupe as his intellectual property. I remember his put down of Pete Brock for the original design of the coupe; now he wants to add his name to the SPF Coupe, as updated by the same Pete Brock, as the new CSX9000 series continuation car. Of course, he'll also add a bunch of bucks to the price tag as his profit.
Years ago, he lost interest in Cobras and let his trademarks and patents lapse while he pursued other interests. Now he wants it all back, with interest! To me, he is just a bitter old man. I feel sorry for him. The real damage to his reputation, and his legend, is being done by himself! While I respect what he and the team accomplished 40 years ago, I have lost all respect for him now.
