A little history folks. 999 is not a copy of anything.

In fact it's the name of the original Ford racers that pre date almost everything automotive including the Ford Motor Company itself.

The Ford 999 was a nameplate attached to two distinct but similar racers built by Henry Ford during the early 20th century. Though they began as separate entities, they were virtually mechanically identical and parts (and, ultimately, names) were swapped between them as needed, making the identities and legacies inseparable.

So it pretty much has no relevance to anyone who is alive today.
