Only Cowl Induction hoods came with Hood Pins with the Cables etc...
So that is a bit strange to see as all the standard domed SS hoods I have seen has never had the hood pins from the factory. Maybe the dealer added the hood pins or a previous owner did? </div></div>

In 1970 hood pins came standard on the working hood,optional on the domed hood.
Beginning in 1971 &amp; 72,hood pins were automatically included with the STD.SS bulge hood. </div></div>

Ok Great, Shows how little I know about the 1971-1972 models, All Good and thank for clearing that up [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Looked at a 72 LS3 convertible over the weekend with POP and NCRS shipper paperwork as well as Car shipper copy. Neat car and VERY rare. Owner had 110 cars!

Hey everyone. After much debate on weather to look for a build sheet in our Chevelle, we decided to carefully look in a couple places were they are known to be found. According to some research we did, many people did not find any build sheets in Arlington built Chevelles. If they were found, usually they weren't readable because of being placed under the tar paper that is underneath the carpeting. We began by carefully looking underneath the carpet/tar paper on the driver side by the gas pedal, and were disappointed to find nothing. Then, we began to look on the passenger side underneath the carpet/tar paper in front of the front seat. As we began to pull the tar paper back, low and behold, we saw a corner of the build sheet resting on the floor! We spent well over an hour carefully removing the build sheet from were it was placed back in 1971. Surprisingly, it is in pretty good condition, and it is even readable in the right lighting!

Thanks! I too have seen them advertised, makes you wonder how many less than honest car's are out there? It seems there's been an awfully lot of nice, legible 40+ year old build sheets in the last few years. Just makes it that much more difficult to find the REAL cars. Another reason for trying to locate this one. The part that's missing is still in the car under the tarpaper.
