shelbymotorsports Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 ......... as the phone has been ringing non-stop all day long. Most calls are about the CSX1001 Cobra over at Russo & Steele. This was a CSCF raffle car from 2006. It had been titled in Carroll's name before the raffle. There also must be a 1965 GT350 for sale somewhere as many phone calls on how to determine if a GT350 is real or not. In comparasion I think I receieved only one call on the 40th GT500 car and no calls on the 2008 SGT vert. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a 68 GT350, as well as a 68 GT500 coupe and 68 GT500 convertible. There were a few "tribute" restorations also. But none that I saw looked close enough to authentic to be confused for the real thing. What are the trademark implications of selling a "tribute" car? It seems like it dilutes the brand to a certain extent, but perhaps not much can be done about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no way speaking for Shelby Licensing nor Shelby American but its my understanding that if you build a "tribute" car for your own personal use you'll be left alone. It's when a business/dealership starts to make tribute cars for sale to the general public that you better have a licensing agreement on file with Shelby Licensing.

I can make my own Super Snake clone, duplicating every single item on the SS and there's not much anyone can do about it. But if I start making them and selling them, I'm stepping all over the copyright/trademark rights of Shelby. No profit = okay. Profit = illegal. At least that's my understanding (from a Copyright lawyer friend) Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
