is it legal to use the SOX & MARTIN name ?

[rav440]

this BARRACUDA is nice ,,, but ,,,, i would think there is a trademak or copyright law being stepped on . or is perfectly legal to copy clone old drag car teams ?

It doesn't say anywhere that it's a clone.

This car has the appearance of the Sox & Martin original race car.

is that the new political correct way of saying its a CLONE ? or should i have want to be CLONE .

hey its a 1969 BARRACUDA with RONNIE SOX , SOX & MARTIN its red white & blue , so i would say he cloned a S & M car .

Well, 69.5 was complaining about all the errors and what wasn't the same as the S&M car. This one isn't a clone, it's just painted the same on the outside. None of the stickers are vintage to try and replicate the original car. So no, I don't think it's a clone, just something the guy painted the same.

So it's not a "clone" just a "look-alike":wtf:

ok ok cloneish . hows that

anyways i still dont think you can use the S & M name . can you ? i would think it was trade marked or coptrighted .

I'm not sure whether it is or not. I know I've seen people on Ebay selling shirts with the S&M shield on them too.

 

[Da-ho]

I would call it a rip- off if I had to call it anything.:toot:

i ment nothing about it not being acurate to a SM clone but the fact that it looks half assed in general

 

[mopar_man]

How so? I see the seats look a bit cheap but other than that it looks good.

If they never copyrighted their team name, it's fair game for anyone to use.

hmm lets see...for starters a hood scoop feeding non air cleanered carbs...nothing wrong with that till you add in a under hood insulater that can get sucked in
nice factory back seat with cheep front seats(ive nothing against it personaly)
whats with the dent in the nose?
cheep fake leather wrap over what ima asume is a cracked to hell factory wheel
the wireing under the guages and the guages themsels are half assed
and they tube steeled the nose but didnt cage it

wouldnt suprise me if it doesnt have connectors welded in it

everyone knows i love my A's but this one just hit a nerve i guess

Like gran pa said, and there are lots of cars painted this way.
