Of course, he'll also add a bunch of bucks to the price tag as his profit.
Years ago, he lost interest in Cobras and let his trademarks and patents lapse while he pursued other interests. Now he wants it all back, with interest! To me, he is just a bitter old man. I feel sorry for him. The real damage to his reputation, and his legend, is being done by himself! While I respect what he and the team accomplished 40 years ago, I have lost all respect for him now.
