YEE-HAW!!!
I'm from Texas, but I'm no Shelby fan (OK, I drive a 427 Cobra replica, but not b/c of Shelby). He was a man with a good idea, but the idea of engine swaps was not new at the time, I had a friend with a '53 Ford who replaced the flathead 8 in the mid 60's with an Oldsmobile engine....all Shelby did was put a Ford engine into a Brittish sports car (and he even LIED to both Ford and A/C to get the deal done!).
AND, to make things worse, he seems to think that this "intellectual property" makes it incumbent on anyone who deigns it permissible to replicate virtually ANYTHING he ever had his hands on should pay him (or his foundation) some sort of royalty :thumbsdown: ???
BULLSHIRT, pure and simple!!
SO glad the courts saw it right :thumbsup: !
