The registry makes note of the car being raced in 1965 in A/Production class. No mention of the 1964 season.
BTW, it says the car was modified to cut-back doors like the team cars had but that was done in the 80's.

2407 was invoice to the seller dealer in September of '64 so there would be little time left to race it that year.

True as it went from SA to the buyer who then modified it for competition use. So no time during 1964 for racing.

It does as he was the original buyer. A partner in NART.

As far as 2201 goes, no competition use in 1964. The car was invoiced to a dealer in Scottsdale, AZ for a buyer who ended up not purchasing the car. That was May 1964. In September 1964, it was invoiced a dealer in Hayward CA, then purchased by Autosports Northwest in Oregon, then sold to Dr Weed (OR) in January 1965. He modified it for competition use. So again, not setup for racing in 1964.
CSX2201 is a significant car in Cobra production. It was the first production car to have a Ford alternator, Ford wiring, Stewart Warner gauges and Ford clock. Big changes from previous production cars!
