Single Owner: CSX 2227
Quotes from the article:
"The jazzman and the Shelby Cobra: A 50-year winning partnership
Hank Williams’ MkII Cobra has been on champion form since he bought it in 1965 – and there’s plenty of life in both of them "
" Single-owner Cobras attract substantial offers, but few of their owners are willing to give them up. Including 73-year-old Hank Williams of Fontana, California. The former jazz musician and racing driver first collected the keys to CSX2227, "

I've met Hank and talked to him a number of times over the years and to say he is a "character" would be an understatement.......

That's a great story about how he bought the car, the sales man etc. Nice share thanks.

Not to change the topic, but didn't Ray Conniff also have a Cobra. Same time period I believe? There is a record album with him and the car on the flip side. Maybe it was all the rage for those band guys back then?

If you want to see/meet/talk to Hank, go to the yearly National SAAC Convention........he goes to all of them and his car is on display, he's usually not far away and more than willing to tell stories about him and the car from the past.......

Ray Coniff not only had one, but it was the same color as Hank's. And do talk to Hank about his car if you see him; you can't do so with Ray any more.
