Green House Hemi...[PIC]

I love this model. I remember when the 1:1 debuted in Hot Rod Magazine. If I had two favorites back in the day, it was the Hemi Under Glass and TV Tommy Ivo's "Showboat".
Just over the top cool.
Last year I saw Jay Leno wreck the Hemi. Not cooll!!!

One cool thing if you noticed....

Under the dash is a Plexiglas window so he could follow the track line while going down the strip.. Without that, all he could see was the sky!

Look at the pic of the front end minus the hood...

It's that big square in the middle.

Cool icon. Saw the 'low-lights' of the 1:1 wrecking a couple years ago - hope it's...

.... been rebuilt by now.
It was always a favorite of mine too... and I'm a GM-guy! LOL!
