They kept the car and with the reassociation with Shelby it got his name on it instead of SVT.
The only reason the non-Shelby Cobra's exist is because Shelby sold the name to Ford for $1 when they took over his operation. Shelby's became Cobra's and now they are Shelby's again because the name sells. When Shelby decides he doesn't want Ford using his name again or his old age sadly gets the best of him then they will become non-Shelby Cobra's again.
