1966 Plymouth Hemi Under Glass Cuda Southern Speed 1:18


loading...

The 1966 Plymouth Hemi Under Glass “Southern Speed” is one of the most outrageous exhibition drag cars ever created, based on the Plymouth Barracuda and built to put on spectacular wheelstanding shows. Its defining feature was a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8 mounted behind the driver, radically shifting the weight distribution and allowing the front wheels to lift dramatically off the ground under acceleration. What made the Hemi Under Glass unique was that it wasn't designed simply to win conventional drag races—it became a purpose-built wheelstander and promotional icon, helping establish an entirely new form of exhibition drag racing. The 1966 version was driven by Bob Riggle, who became one of the most famous wheelstander drivers of the era, making this Barracuda an unforgettable piece of American drag-racing history.
