===Cobra automobile ownership=== In 1963, at the age of 23, Hancock purchased a new [[AC Cobra|1963 AC Shelby Cobra]] from a dealership in [[New York City]] for $6,000. He is still its owner and thus the longest owner of a Cobra. The car, serial number CSX2006, was the sixth Cobra ever produced, making it a rare and valuable vehicle. It is one of only 75 Cobras originally produced with a 260 cubic-inch engine and the only Cobra ever equipped with a two-barrel [[carburetor]]. The car has been estimated to be worth more than $2 million. Hancock plans to give the car to his grandson.<ref name="Cotter">{{cite web |last1=Cotter |first1=Tom |title=Herbie Hancock has rocked an original Cobra longer than anyone |url=https://www.hagerty.com/media/people/herbie-hancock-has-rocked-an-original-cobra-longer-than-anyone/ |website=[[Hagerty (insurance)|Hagerty Media]] |access-date=4 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230529182926/https://www.hagerty.com/media/people/herbie-hancock-has-rocked-an-original-cobra-longer-than-anyone/ |archive-date=29 May 2023 |date=25 May 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Ancil">{{cite news |last1=Ancil |first1=Brandon |title=A rude car salesman did me a huge favor, says jazz icon Herbie Hancock |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/14/a-rude-car-salesman-did-me-a-favor-says-jazz-icon-herbie-hancock.html |access-date=4 June 2024 |work=[[CNBC]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160714183501/http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/14/a-rude-car-salesman-did-me-a-favor-says-jazz-icon-herbie-hancock.html |archive-date=14 July 2016 |date=14 July 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Nelson">{{cite web |last1=Nelson |first1=Chris |title=Revisiting the Unbreakable Link Between Cars and Rock 'n' Roll |url=https://www.motortrend.com/features/rock-n-roll-fast-cars-book/ |website=[[Motortrend]] |access-date=4 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220625044338/https://www.motortrend.com/features/rock-n-roll-fast-cars-book/ |archive-date=25 June 2022 |date=25 October 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>
