JIM BARGELT painted CSX2459 shortly after buying it

Jim Hacker (pictured here) was a parner briefly of Bargelt's in purchasing CSX2459 in 1967



Lew Florence sold CSX2459 for street use- Bargelt bought it in Nov of 1966.



When Bargelt bought CSX2459 Lew Florance had converted car to be used on the street. Not sure if Lew altered the dash during that brief transformation




March 1967 -Bargelt owned both CSX2119 (Green) and CSX2459 (yellow)




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.
