Has to be the poster car for the song "Low Rider!"
I remember seeing a real interesting photo in one of the AARN
pictorials showing a car very similar to this one alongside the much higher Tom Skinner owned #659 coupe, which ironically was
being driven by Tony Siscone... Looked to me like the the #0 could
have went around the #659 on the left, on the right.... or if need be,
"under" it. (Actually, the article went on to say that the higher,
more upright #659 with Tony behind the wheel was still able to more than
hold its own against the newer, low slung cars which probably had a lot to
do with the ingenuity of Tom Skinner and the driving of Tony than anything
else...) |

| 03/27/08 | Charles M. DeFebbo | Barry is correct, this photo was taken at New Egypt. This is
the "first" car, built in 1976. Later photos are the same car with newer
bodies. The original driver was Carl Grinar, who drove the car at the Atlantic City Speedway. Later on in 1976, Tony Siscone drove the car at New Egypt, Wall Stadium, Riverhead Raceway and Thompson Speedway. I'm one of the original "crew members" on the Frank Ransom owned "0". |

| 09.27.09 | Jimmy Plummer | I remember seeing Tony race Go-Karts at the Aramingo Avenue track in NE Philly. This was in the early 60s. He was a good karter too. He was a contemporary of Bobby Ciccone (of supermodifed and TQ fame), who raced karts at the Delco Raceway in Chester, PA. |
