II Today -- 2005
Dr. Ernie Nagamatsu sent
some interesting photos & info about his car.

Dr. Ernie Nagamatsu in Old
Yeller II leads a mixed bag of sports/racers at the "Festival
of Speed" held at Goodwood in 2004. I can't identify the mid-1960s
car directly behind OY II, but the third car is easy: It's a Cunningham
C4R. Behind the Cunningham is one of our "Mystery cars" from
this website: The Rolls-Royce
powered "Marina". Then we see a D-Type Jaguar in Cunningham
livery. Behind the Jaguar is a Ferrari 250GT California.
Off the course (I think) is a lightweight E-Type Jaguar racer.
| From Bruce Dabney:
"The car behind OYII at Goodwood looks like a Genie MK8 -- I recognize
the paint job, I think it might be one that as of a year or 2 ago, belonged
to Bill Hair of Calif."
From Don Blair:
The photo of Ernie Nagamatsu in OYII at Goodwood 2004 shows it in front
of a unidentified blue and white car which is a 1963 (Huffaker-built) Genie-
Chevrolet, see photo from "motorsport.com".

Jaguar and a Maserati 300S at Goodwood.
Photographers should be ready
to move fast if necessary. What's with these guys?
OYII has recently undergone
significant suspension upgrades and will soon return to its status, according
to Dan Gurney in 1960, as: "The best handling car I've ever driven." |

| Mario Gonzalez created this
model of Old Yeller II. It took him four years to build. The
driver is recognizable as Dan Gurney. Your webmaster has seen this
model in person and it's truly beautiful & very detailed. |
