If Shelby hasn't sued you then you're just out of the loop.. Sort of sad that his greed will be more of a legacy than some of his cars.

Maybe he will "find" another stack of VIN'd frames in the back of his shop..

It's really to bad at his age. There are simply more important things to worry about when your knocking on your tomb stone.

seems like he should be worth enough money to not have to worry about this kind of thing.. is he worried about people buying a Factory five kit instead of a real cobra? I don't think most of the people with a factory five kit are in the market for a real one... If i were him Id be on vacation enjoying myself instead of in court all the time...

I've always wondered how much of that is Shelby himself or his entourage. I'm sure early on he had a stake in trying to preserve his original legacy, but I would like to believe the company lawyers and his beneficiaries are the ones fueling the train now (and dragging the old man along for the ride). Never met him, so hard to to get a read on his individual motives.
I also wonder what his passing will do to all things Shelby. Enzos passing had a pretty profound effect on Ferrari for a time. The first Barrett/Jackson after Shelbys passing should be interesting....
