Pretty cool topic! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Also a great place to ask I question that I have often wondered about. Who was the very first to use a shaker hood? Was it the Mustang Mach 1's in 69 or a Trans Am or what?

By the way the 1970 Mopar "Air Grabber" hoods are cool! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Assuming you were directing that at me https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif I thought of the '67 SS427 hood first but decided that I should go with a scooped hood instead. You are right though, they are mean looking.

What a fantastic topic! A cold/fresh air indution system was almost always a feature on most musclecars. Very difficult to pick one, but I'd have to say my favorite would be the 68-69 L-88 Corvette hood with the element that stays in the hood when it is open. Now that's a big bulge that lets everyone know that you have something very special!

Re: Coolest factory hoods of all-time
 
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!

MMMMMMM...? Besides Tony Saprano and Sonny Corleone, its a tough call https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Well now....I'm partial, and some of you know that, but it was only for 1 year, gives the car its own personality, is not available anywhere as a reproduction (although I'm working on a mold), commands top-dollar even beat-up and looks great in any color https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Drums roll please............. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

1967 Chevrolet SS427 (I love the Camaro cowl too...but they are everywhere)

Concur on neat topic.

Another "lift-off". Low production, but available from the factory...

Big 'toon fan too...

I agree with all responses. I like the 68 and 69 L88 hood, it's the only Corvette that you can what motor it is from outward appearance of car.
