Comments: Comment:  I've seen "Walt Zong" written on other #707's, but I never saw this one before.  Not sure what the story is behind the rabbit in the tuxedo, but maybe somebody out there can fill us in.

Fran Purcell Sr. was a legendary figure in the Coal Region. He raced at various speedways and wrapped us his driving duties in the seventies before becoming an owner. Fran passed away several years ago of cancer. I have seen so many pics of his race cars but this is the first I have ever seen him in a 707. Sure would like to hear the story of this one.
