What ever happened to this car? I remember seeing it for sale some where on the net (racingjunk I think) about 6 to 8 years ago for 50k. It was in NY if I remember correctly.

IIRC, Paul Gentilozzi bought the car after Glidden went back to Ford.

From July of this year...

And yet another from the G drawer. "Paul Gentilozzi’s old D/Gas Arrow is alive and well, and my father, Dennis Buckley, has been bracket racing the car for the last 12 years now," wrote Scott Buckley. "The little Plymouth has retained all of its original Wayne Farr chassis and red anodized tinwork but was updated with an early '80s grille and headlights by a previous owner. Paul Gentilozzi and Wayne Farr verified the authenticity of the car at a Trans Am Series race at Road America about eight years ago. Paul told us that he had the car constructed when he was the technical editor for Popular Hot Rodding magazine after doing an in-depth feature on Glidden’s Pro Stock Arrow. Paul was first in line to purchase Glidden’s car when Ford renewed Bob’s Pro Stock sponsorship, so he sold the red Arrow to a fellow Super Gas racer in Kentucky (after removing the manual trans and installing a Powerglide), and it eventually wound up in Nebraska, where my father purchased it 12 years ago. The old Arrow is still very consistent, and Dad won the Super Pro category at the Drag News Shootout a few years ago and also had a runner-up finish at the Fall Bracket Nationals. The old Plymouth Arrow is in the Madison, Wis., area now."

A few guys actually know where it's at now. I'd actually try www.racecarregistry.com, that's where all famous race cars are documented and shared to the general public.

Soooo, if I'm reading this right, Gentilozzi never owned the Glidden car, but had one built just like it?

Nope, he sold the one he had built for the Glidden car.

As far as I know, Gentilozzi never owned the Glidden Arrow, but he did have the Landy Omni at one time.

Uh-oh. Now I'm confused again, but that's not unusual.

Paul bought the car from Glidden, ran it shortly, and went road racing.

Is it true Bob put a 340 c.i in the Arrow, and the NHRA re-wrote the rulebook for Pro-Stock?
