This lawsuit will likely be dismissed because Shelby let his trademarks lapse, but FFR is no different Ole Shel. They have their hands in the Cobra cookie jar and are pissed/delirious/incensed/insulted that Momma might say no.
Factory Five is a great bunch of people, Including Dave Smith. Unless you own a Shelby, you should be happy that one kit car company has the funds, and business savvy to keep this cottage industry open for business.
