Yep, Tony......I agree. Like I said, as much as I hate to give ol' Shel credit for it, I ended up voting for him in the poll. It was his "intellectual property" long before that became a legal concept.....it was his idea and he lied to both Ford and A/C to get the parts to make the first Cobras, lied to the press and had finished cars repainted so that it would look like he had completed more than he actually had. If he were trying to run his business that way today, he'd probably be sued by the Attorneys General of every state in which he worked.
In the end, though, without the idea (who knows, maybe others were toying with the same combo, too), this forum and the entire Cobra (and, perhaps, replicar) industry might well not exist. Have to give him some credit, as much as I hate to do so. He got my vote......damnit
