    Its also possible that it was a Shelby Hertz rental car 289 hipo, people used to rent the cars for the weekend and switch the engines all the time. I bet some of them ended up with a 4v 289 that had already been switched...lol!

    289 CobraJet value

    They are right there is no such thing as a 289 cobra jet, but there was a 289 cobra. On one of the "ears" (rear of engine) you should be able to find the letters HM and some numbers. I do not know if this carried over to the 65 Shelby Mustang GT350, but it was on the 289 AC cobras blocks...

    Ford is suing companies for use of Mustang name?

    Ford did lose the right's to the GT40 and the Futura name . I guess they are just protecting the mustang name tag. Since the mustang is the moneymaker in thier stable. I would protect it too, and do the same for Shelby and Cobra.

    SHelby trademark applys to fiberglass

    No not at all, I have seen nothing, but the ebay ad that states this. The emblems and the taped stripes, and the engine dress up kits are the only things I know for sure are that were targeted!

    SHelby trademark applys to fiberglass

    According to a friend seems like Shelby and Ford, have what is called a “trade dress,” or appearance patent on all the Shelby mustangs and Eleanores. Something they did not have on the A.C. Cobra. They are also going after the engine "cobra" kits dress up stuff. He had no tech for this, but...

    SHelby trademark applys to fiberglass

    I was thinking along the same lines, but if I was manufacturing them and got threatened with a legal suit I would just stop making them. With the demand for the hoods and and the cost of legal counsel it be a no brainer for me.

    I would use the jigsaw . To avoid cracks clamp it down and use tape over the area you want to cut, like they do on a counter top.
