Jim Bargelts Cobras in 1967- CSX2119 (green) and CSX2459 which was yellow for first few months
Lew did not alter the dash for the change... it came with the street dash, as I think several of the other later USRRC cars did. The experts can set that straight. My photos of 2459 on September 20, 1964, show the same dash at Bridgehampton as in these photos.

Thanks Jamie, I got your note and left a message on your cell. I would love to have any info you might provide. If you don't already have them, I have a couple of photos of your dad, one with Ol' Shell, along with both Jim Hacker and Bob Stalnaker, and the other with Wayne from New Zealand and Pete Nosh. Also, I have a couple racing shots, but no driver info.
