Herbie Hancock has an AC Cobra?! WOW; I admire him more than ever now.
And as for the actual story, this is just incredible.

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.

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.

Hank is a cool guy. Come to any Shelby-oriented car show in SoCal and you are virtually guaranteed to meet him.

Double post;
He sounds like a very interesting person, with a very interesting car. Wish I could come to a Shelby event easily.
