Ned post read,
"The original Cobras were the result of a joint effort by both AC Cars and Shelby American, but neither would have produced the same car absent the willingness of the other to cooperate in their production. Hence, the later "Cobras" built exclusively by Shelby used VINs to which Shelby had dubious legitimate claim and were never approved by AC Cars nor its successor entity, AK."


I don't find that Ned says AC Cars would have withered away without Shelby?
If you make that assumption it would be possible to assume that Shelby would have withered away without the efforts of AC Cars.
