Kevin,

Actually in the 1970's the #0 car was driven by Carl Grinner, Tony Siscone may have driven it a few times.  Tony Siscone drove the #T-4 car for Tony Ruberti, Then he drove the #65 car for John Lyons, Then from 1978 to about 1980 he drove the Blue #21x Pinto for my father Ed Brown, John Lyons was the crew chief.

The Blue 21x Pinto was built in my garage at 162 Knoll Dr. Vineland,NJ,  I remember watching the car be built and a lot of knowledgeable guys were involved in building it.  As far as I can remember there was Carl Grinner, John Lyons, Russel Dodge, Tom Skinner, Al Broan and a few other guys whose names I can't remember.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Also I ask on every post, if anyone knows what happened to the Blue 21x pinto please contact us.

Thanks
