I thought it was a multiple roll-over too, untill I saw this (it was a single roll-over, but the other is nicely edited) -

But it's not front page news. I moved it to the Lounge so everyone can see it.

One of videos out there details the various cars that have been built as the Hemi Under Glass. This one goes back a few years though.

Bob Riggle drove the original one in 1965 as well this one which is a replica of the 1968 one.

They're both really lucky, especially considering the lack of proper safety gear, where's the Nomex, where's the Head & Neck restraints?

I like Leno, but just because you've got "Cubic Dollars" to spend, doesn't mean you need to stretch your neck mucking around.

Replica or not, "Hemi Under Glass" isn't or wasn't a toy.

When I first scanned the title I thought it said "Jay Leno rolls over 3 times in his grave".

I remember pretending our '62 Valiant station wagon was a 'Cuda.
