It is a rather transparent run to grab what little bit of the legacy is left - and some legacy there - aren't Shelby shares trading at abtou .36c?
If the contention is that SAAC is for "profit" - lets see ho wmuch cool cash they made over the years keeping the torch going while Shelby all but ignored anyone who enjoyed his cars and creations of the past?
And what happens when he kicks the bucket? Another slew of legal battles as the heirs battle it out over whats left?
Quite frankly, once he "sold the cars" any all data records and information poertaining to the cars, the owners and collectibles is no longer his to lay claim to - even if it has his name all over it.
The only ones who will out of this will be the lawyers.
Sad way to close an era if you ask me.

I don't see this as an eternal battle unless Carol kicks the bucket very soon (which is possible). One of the problems that Shelby sees is that SAAC refuse to modernize their business... people have offered, with the official Shelby blessing no less...
in case you didn't know, SAAC didn't have much information to begin with, Carol Shelby had the information, and licensed the information to SAAC with the agreement that it was a two way street.
This is not dissimilar to the suites between ex-employees of FML, and the owner of FML over the theft of an intellectual property... the said lists are extremely useful for a bushel of reasons.
