Ford had moved production of the 1968 Shelby GTs from California to Michigan where A. O. Smith would be responsible for assembly. At the same time Ford had bought out Shelby, including his trademarks. The famous race-inspired 'Cobra' trademark was inserted into the equally famous 'Shelby GT' model designation resulting in "Shelby Cobra GT 350" and "Shelby Cobra GT 500". The only thing "Shelby" in a 1968-1970 Shelby GT was the use of his name.
