Rande,

Thank you for an interesting history.  I, too, worked 5
miles from Shelby's Imperial location, had friends who
worked there, and toured it a few times.  This is the same
set of buildings, and teams, that both the Cobra design and
the Tiger design originated.

There is one point of logic you brought out that I cannot
understand.

You stated that A.O. Smith made Shelby designed cars,
commissioned by Ford, from modified Ford Mustangs,  and
using Ford parts and custom parts,  in '67 and beyond, and
you think they are "Shelby's".

How, then, is that different from Jensen making Shelby
designed cars, commissioned by Rootes, from modified Rootes
Sunbeams,  and using Sunbeam parts and custom parts,  in '63
and beyond, and yet you DON'T think they are "Shelby's".

Your logic for this, please?

Steve
