Competition Plus is having a Poll for all of his cars.I of course voted for the 79 Arrow.

My favorite isn't on the list... Bob made a lot of ugly cars cool...

Me too. I can't believe the Arrow is in the lead.

I always loved the Arrow.

The undefeated Fairmont was my favorite.

I believe the Arrow deserves thee recognition because, as far as I know, with the Arrow he did the most, with the least in the shortest amount of time!

Didn't he run a Monza for a very short time?

One race with the Monza.

He ran the Monza for one season (or maybe less) as I recall in protest of unfair weight breaks to his ford engines. And beat the Chevy's at their own game. he could make anything run very, very well.

Here is a great Bio of BG and it mentions the Monza. https://bangshift.com/bangshift1320/bob-glidden-died-73-one-singularly-dominant-drag-racers-history/

He built a Monza and used it (I believe) for one race to take advantage of the Weight break (and to prove a point to the NHRA).

The Car was sold to John Lingenfelter who I remember made a very successful Comp elimiator car out of it.

The Mustang II he only raced for a short time as well, there's only a few pics of it out there I think.

The Arrow was my favorite.....was only a 1 year deal before Iacocca declared bancrupcy in 1980.

Second Favorite was the 70 Mustang he built for the 105" WB Weight break

When he has the first fairmont, he had no major sponsor, and no factory backing, and was undefeated in that car. He switched to Chrysler and the arrow, because they gave him a truckload of parts, and full factory backing.

I thought he raced with Mopar sponsorship for 2 or 3 years,(1977 to mid 1980) not one

His 64 Fairlane, made me have to have one.

Just one season. Then Chrysler went bankrupt and pulled the plug.

Anyone know the history of the Arrow? Where did it go when he was done with it?

I heard the Arrow was here in FL.
Maybe Locomotion knows more.

The Monza ran 1 race and was a DNQ.

My favorite, the EXP.

There is a discussion here that indicates Paul Gentilozzi bought Glidden's Arrow. I don't know if it was ever in Florida or where it's at now.

Spiff. I guess it boils down to opinions. I agree that Glidden's accomplishments were amazing considering a lack of major sponsors. But he had been developing his Ford combo for a long time. I felt that it's at least as amazing that he developed a dominant combo from one that no one could before. Don Carlton/Ted Spehar tried in the mid-'70's without success. There was an interesting article in a magazine on some of what he did do with the Arrow.

there are a thousand stories around about bob, i have several including a project twin turbo pantera .but a favorite is the time i showed up at a chrysler test days at orange county just before the winter nationals. when i come through the gate there sit the new 340 arrow. i walked up to front of car and ask koffel whats new, dave said i am watching bob remodel a show car, bob said i am going to make race car out this,he was holding a hammer and tin snips! dave said bob is going to makes its first pass shorty,and he said they would not share the times. after the run dave and bob are looking over time slip and i see bill jenkins coming out of tower,i said hey guys look behind you,bill walked about 50 ft behind the arrow muttering and kicking rocks right out the gate. bob and dave watched for about 10 seconds, neither one said a thing ,then got backed to business...i unloaded my car and it snowed about 20 minutes later.

Was that snow it at Orange County or at Pomona, I have been snowed and rained on at Pomona more than once
I have been rained and fogged out at the county, never saw snow that low in SO CA ever

the locals called it snow,i would called it slush.on the way back to the hotel in the opposite lanes there was a 50 car pileup going the other way.several people said do not travel on the freeway,i was never a good listener. orange county
