Here is a short letter about C. Shelby in the August issue of Mustang Monthly. 10 years ago this letter would have gotten the writer stoned to death and the magazine burned to the ground by Ford enthusiast. No more. There is a growing fervelent backlash/hatred against Carrol Shelby because of his heavy handed tactics against his perceived use of the Shelby Cobra name by others. Some are legitimate but some are the most stupid stances that ever came down the pike.
Go to any Mustang related website with a BB like this one and you will see what I mean.

I think the majority of the people on this site see no problem if an original Harrell car is found why they could not put the Harrell name back on the car. Better yet, if an original car is found with the original paint with the name on it, why should they have to pay someone royalties to display the car? Also if a car is sold by someone back then and they do not remove their name beforehand or put it in writing that their name shall never be used again on the car don't they give up some of their rights?

I think sometimes the people who control the rights to any name/product forget that it's us little smucks out here through being fans are the ones that allow them to obtain royalties through various zillions of products etc. If there was no fans their name / image would not mean anything.

The day may come when Yenko cars owners will not only have to pay a royalty but also add a new emblem next to each Yenko logo on the car... a big circle with a R in the center of it. What better way to keep track of who is in compliance or not. Don't laugh. All of us can pick out morals/trends/culture changes/laws/bans etc that are happening today we could not fathom happening 15-20 years ago.
