Description

The 1966 Plymouth Barracuda «Hemi Under Glass» in gold and black — the most famous wheelstander in drag racing history, 1:18 by Highway 61 / DCP.

The real car

In 1965 Hurst rebuilt a Barracuda and put the 426 Hemi behind the front seats, under the big rear window — hence the name. The weight over the rear axle lifted the front wheels off the line, and that is how it ran the quarter mile: on two wheels, the whole way down. It was never meant to win, only to entertain — and it became better known than most race cars.

About the range

Among collectors Highway 61 counts as the more precise address: finer engraving, real fabric and metal parts, correctly reproduced engine bays. The runs were small, and since the brand was discontinued they are markedly harder to find than Ertl.
