A historic trivia. Original leaf spring Cobras (260's & 289's) did not have the word Shelby or CS on them. They had AC, Ford, Cobra but no Shelby. ;)

Lots  transpired between Ford and CS over the years.  It is the principle reason Shelby Licensing was established.

The Shelby website information has changed since the site was redone a couple of times.  The Licensing section had stronger words back when CS wanted to sue anyone using his name, designs, etc.  It seems more resolved for now.  At one time, it was rumored that each late model Ford Shelby GT500 brought in $1K to Licensing.  I have no verification of that at this time.  No one inside the Gardena office talks openly about these things anymore.
