    We are glad that "Shelby Automobiles, Inc" is putting the hammer down on trademark infringement. So the Clones and FAKES cannot legally use the words "Shelby" Cobra GT 350, GT 500, GT 500KR etc.
    WATCH OUT !
    They are serious about it and take legal action too!
    It's about time that someone did something about it!

    Looks like the Clones need to be careful when advertising. Just like the Cobra kit cars can't use COBRA in their ads. Ebay is closing auctions down...

    Thanks, Jim Elsmore

    "Fauxbras" is what I call them.

    I agree it is about time somebody did something to protect the name and likeness of Shelby's original creations.

    That being said, I am wearing a fire suit and ready for the flames caused by the above statements. LOL
