Re: Hemi Under Glass
I remember seeing that segment on Jay Leno's Garage. Definitely an earlier version of the Barracuda. The kit made the later version of it.
I never had the Hemi Under Glass model kit.

Re: Hemi Under Glass
Back in the day, that car inspired me to build a 1/25 Barracuda funny car, with Pik Up Stik's for the chassis tubes, tilting body, cardstock "aluminum" cockpit and a Chrysler gas turbine engine. Now, that was some engine swap! Man, I wish I had been insightful enough to take even crude Instamatic pics of my old model cars. I went on a search for their remains last week and found very little remaining. I recalled a big-assed cardboard box with mangled chassis, engines and car bodies...maybe they got thrown out in some manic house-cleaning jag. I even had some AMT aftermarket in a 1/25 Allison V-12 engine, like this one here:

A few bits and pieces of that still show up from time to time; I found the exhausts a few years ago.
