Hurst hired driver Bob Riggle to drive the mid-engine wheel-stander down the drag strip to the fascination of spectators everywhere. Riggle drove the Hemi Under Glass up until 1975 when he moved back to his home in Arizona. Three different versions of the Hemi Under Glass were built, each based on the Plymouth Barracuda model year 1966-1968. From the mid-70's through the 1980's the Hemi Under Glass was forgotten about, and the 1966 version was even destroyed in 1987. However, Bob Riggle decided to bring back the Hemi Under Glass and in 1992 began building a replica of the 1966 version. In 1995 Bob completed an authentic replica of the 1968 Hemi Under Glass and has toured the country with the car ever since, amazing crowds once again with his full-track wheel-stands. In 1965, the 225 slant-6 became the base engine for the U.S. market, though the 170 cu in (2.8 L) remained the base engine in Canada. New options were introduced for the Barracuda as the competition among pony cars intensified. The 273 engine was made available as an upgraded Commando version with a four-barrel carburetor, 10.5:1 compression, and a more aggressive camshaft, still with solid tappets. These and other upgrades increased the engine's output to 235 bhp (175 kW). A new Formula 'S' package included the Commando V8 engine, suspension upgrades, larger wheels and tires, special emblems, and a tachometer. Disc brakes and factory-installed air conditioning became available after the start of the 1965 model year. 1966 1966 Plymouth Barracuda For the 1966 model year the Barracuda received new taillamps, new front sheet metal, and a new instrument panel. The latter had room for oil pressure and tachometer gauges on models so equipped. The 1966 front sheet metal which, except for the grille, was shared with the Valiant, gave a more rectilinear contour to the fenders. Deluxe models featured fender-top turn signal indicators with a stylized fin motif. The bumpers were larger, and the grille featured a strong grid theme. A center console was optional for the first time. Although the first Barracudas were heavily based on the contemporary Valiants, Plymouth wanted them perceived as distinct models. Consequently, the "Valiant" chrome script that appeared on the 1964+1⁄2 model's trunk lid was phased out at the end of the 1965 model year in the U.S. market, and the large stylized "V" trim above the deck lid was changed to a unique Barracuda fish logo for 1966,[4] though in markets such as Canada and South Africa, where Valiant was a marque in its own right, the car remained badged as Valiant Barracuda until the A-body Barracuda was discontinued My Dad owned a Hobby Shop that closed in the early 1970's, and he kept some of the more interesting slot cars and accessories from that era.
