It was stated earlier in this thread that in later races, the car was entered by Paul Cunningham, and that he was shown as both driver and entrant. The Registry stated, based on an article in Competition Press from 1963, that 2049 was entered in the LA Times Grand Prix at Riverside in 10/63 by Muth Ford, with Cunningham shown as the driver. That notion was disputed. Yet here are photos from the pits at that race showing 2049 as #37, Cunningham's number, with "Muth Ford - Rialto" clearly lettered on the front fender. Pictures aren't the best, but one can see the Cobra in both shots sitting next to King Cobras:
