[quote=Ron61;907598] if Shelby shuts down all replica makers except himself and the Kirkhams, I feel his business will soon follow many others.
I agree. Also, (in my opinion) if not for the replica makers there never would have been a revival of interest in the Shelby Cobra. Maybe a niche "car club" of of owners of originals. The replicators kept his name alive giving it market value. He would be a footnote otherwise.
In fact (in my opinion) if not for the replica cottage industry, he probably never would have had the opportunity to sell the curent line of Shelby Mustangs with Ford. Who would have cared? Who would have remembered him.
In my opinion he owes the replica industry a debt of gratitude. Instead, he sues (almost) everybody. He doesn't get it. He doesn't have enough time left above ground to get it.
