I remember that car street racing in the late 80's.
That hood is one of a kind.
I dont have any storys to tell abou it.

Jimbo,
I was hoping to find someone in the Detroit area that might remember the car street racing. Like you say, the hood is 1-of-a-kind.
Could you say where they street raced it exactly as it might help me track down a previous owner? PM me if you don't want to let on where that was.

My thoughts were to put a 427 in it, M22, 4.10 12-bolt, but no SS emblems, keep the dog dish caps, and put small 427 emblems in place of the 250. Kind of what Chevy might have built if they did a COPO 69 Post Sedan.

What details do you look for in these cars when determining the real deal? Here's an example on an L78 version....no paperwork and non matching #s motor...........

All I remember is the hood cut out. Dont even remember what the purpose was.
Could have seen the car a couple places. French Rd or Outer Drive on the East side. Possibly Telegraph, that would be the West side.
Basically nothing is all I got. Sorry.

Maybe post on YellowBullet or Milan Dragway forum.Someone will know the car.
