Re: Coolest factory hoods of all-time
 

Tough one as there's sooo many but ZL2's aside, here's my condensed list...

'70/'73 Formula...'74 & up sucks in comparison! .
'67 SS427 Impala...style kind've stolen from the '63 S.O. Vettes? .
'70 442/W30...don't like the 71/72 w/ grille indent as much! .
'65/'66 Vette Mk1V's...'67's became too common? .

...if Dream cars count, it's the '53 Wildcat hands down! . It's sure a design-style that became common enough also pretty subtle for such a boat...especially for the early fifties! .

Weren't those scoops on Bob's choice '63 Poncho really a Ford sourced item? .

Where's the rear spoiler thread? .

Sure looks like the scoop Ford used on their Big Diesel rigs. It was placed backwards on the Ford application.

Those Mopar Air Grabber Hoods with the TEETH painted on them that shows when it's open. Looks like something out of a Looney Tunes Cartoon. I hate to say it but Mopar had the best hoods overall as a manufacturer. Chevy missed the boat by never doing a Shaker.

And all those COOL Mopar shifter handles....those boys could sure trick up a car!
