I wonder what the owner of the name "Cobra" or "Daytona" thinks about motors that are not ford in vehicles that were made famous with a blue oval motor in them. Although AC made the original vehicle, cobras and daytonas are best known as Ford Cobras and Daytonas. Have a read of the fine print on the front of the Snaketales. It says that Cobra Club has permission from the Ford Motor Company Australia to use the name "Cobra".

The question I have for you all is What if the Ford Motor Company thought that one of its famous registered names is having a motor installed almost 100% of the time (at least from 2008 in Australia) in a replica that was manufactured by its major competitor, would they withdraw their permission for the Cobra Club to use the name "Cobra"?

If anyone thinks they would not be that petty, in the weekend paper there was an article about Ford and the way they told all employees that did not own a ford or a car from one of it's other car companies it owns they were not allowed to park in the company owned car parks.
