I refuse to live in fear of attorneys. Generally, all frontal line images of a snarling cobra are going to look similar because they depict the same animal. I have all the tools and records showing that mine is an original drawing and borrows no part of any other picture of a cobra.

EDIT to add - there could be some exposure because the image is unquestionably used in connection with the car itself, but like I say - it's not a commercial venture. If I wanted to put that on a T-shirt and give one to 25 of my friends, Ford's attorneys cease and desist letter could line someones budgie cage for all the difference it would make. There's cobra radios, golf clubs and all manner of other cobra branded commodities out there, all with their own snake images and icons.

EDIT again - If the idea is for this to become an official logo or symbol of Club Cobra and made available to members on an ongoing basis, then yes - permission should probably be obtained from Ford/Shelby. That is as opposed to a group of people making up a one-time batch of a few stickers or badges to put on their own cars.
