We caught up with Bob and his latest project at the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals in Indianapolis, where his success in securing backing from American Racing Wheels supplied 10 of the vintage beasts, most of which are still capable of running the quarter-mile.
Bob has owned a variety of Funny Cars since the ’70s, including restoring the original ’72 Chi-Town Hustler Challenger (now on display in the NHRA Historical Collection in Pomona, California) and this ’73 Duster—his second such restoration project.
Mondello Head Service, another name out of the past, supplied a set of iron heads using Donovan valves, while a Crager intake sporting a 6-71 Littelfield blower and an Enderle injector top off the combination.
Mondello will talk about his love of "The General," of Keaton's body of work and of silent movies and old-fashioned theater organs, on a special live broadcast of KUER's "Radio West" Saturday at 7 p.m.
Mondello traces his love for silent film back to the 1970s, when he was a publicist for a small theater chain in the Washingon, D.C., area - and one of the theaters had a silent-film festival, with a live accompanist.
Mondello said of Utah that "you cannot imagine how lucky you are" to be home to three working theater organs: the Capitol, the Organ Loft in South Salt Lake and the recently restored organ at Peery's Egyptian Theatre in Ogden.
