EL SHELBY Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is beyond cool! http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/features/the-jazzman-and-the-shelby-cobra-a-50year-winning-partnership-7537640.html 'After nearly five decades, Hank's partnership with the Cobra has outlasted plenty of marriages – and it's still going strong.'

Helix Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Herbie Hancock has an AC Cobra?! WOW; I admire him more than ever now. And as for the actual story, this is just incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Saw this too...totally awesome! I knew of the Pantera and the Hemi Cuda in Fontana but not that Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hank's car also has the distinction of being one of only two cars in that color. The color isn't a color that was offeredy by AC, and it's not the color either car was ordered in. Both cars were supposed to be Princess Blue, but apparently the paint got contaminated with another color and two cars were shot in that unusual aqua color. Hank is a very cool guy if you ever get the chance to meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 If only; I'd love to meet him (and Herbie Hancock, writer of my all time favorite Jazz song); we have two things in common: a love of Jazz and a love of Shelbys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer_x Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hank is a cool guy. Come to any Shelby-oriented car show in SoCal and you are virtually guaranteed to meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Easier said than done, but I would enjoy meeting him. Edited July 1, 2012 by Helix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Double post; He sounds like a very interesting person, with a very interesting car. Wish I could come to a Shelby event easily. Edited July 1, 2012 by Helix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
