This is what I know of the car so far.Lou Vignona said he purchased it from some guy in Mt.Kisco(Cisco??) N.Y in the early 80's.It was in an underground parking lot of some apartment complex.The guy told Lou that it was Charlie Castaldo's Auto. car. I have since found out that it is not Castaldo's car thru talking to one of Charlie's crew members at the time by the name of Charlie Licata.

There
has to be some Charlie Castaldo connection. First you have the guy Lou bought the car from telling him that, and then in this thread Jimi Vignona relating to us
seeing the Charlie Castaldo name on the doors (beneath the paint) when the car was in his dad's garage.
That can not be dismissed. There has
got to be some connection...maybe just the doors are from one of Castaldo's Darts? Maybe Charlie had a third Dart? I dunno.
As far as "two scoop Lido" is concerned, from the best of my knowledge in order to be a participant at a Bracket Finals race you
had to finish in the Top 10 at your track. If that is true, then the "two scoop Lido" Dart had to be a regular competitor at some track in order to gain enough points to finish in the Top 10 to represent his track at the Bracket Finals and not just show up for that one (big) race (and receive a participant decal) because he felt like racing there that day.
