According to my research, Ford rescinded AC's permission to use the name 'Cobra' last year. It's a property of FoMoCo. Of course, I'm sure a few greenbacks could change their mind.

This whole debate gives some perspective to the general pissing and moaning about who's car is a Cobra and who's isn't. I'm pretty sure the AC is a sweet car that looks like, sounds like, smells like, and drives like a Cobra. They can't call it a Cobra for legal reasons. It has nothing to do with the car itself. So, if you want an AC 427, and can afford it, go get yourself one and call it a Cobra all you want. I'm fairly certain you won't be sued for it.

You can buy an authentic Cobra from SAI, and pay for the privilege, or choose from the wide variety of replicas. Anywhere from my horribly indecent $26k car to Unique to ERA to Kirkham, and all points between. It's understandable why those who were involved in the creation of the Cobra don't want other people to profit from it, but as the courts proved, there is no one person or entity that can lay claim to it. It belongs to US!
