Technically the marketing for the Shelby's did not call them "Cobras" but the logo and name were on the cars and engine. 67 it was even on the grill.
The ironic thing is back then in made sense to put some "Cobra" in to a Mustang. They're doing the complete opposite now.
They did, there wont be a Mustang Cobra until 2006.
It will still be the SVT Mustang Cobra.
The AC Cobra and the Mustang Shelby Cobra co-existed in the 60's why can't they now?
No truth to the rumor. Ford owns the Cobra name and SVT states there will be a Mustang Cobra. Ford and Shelby fought over the name back in 93, the Cobra was almost called the GT Plus.
