Default Re: Nice car---what does everyone think?

A True L-88 hood that looks like that one, only came from Chevrolet on 68-69 vette's. They are a "short" hood. What you are looking at is the L-88 raised area on a 73-79 "long" hood. Note there is no wiper door like all '69's have.

Therefor it has to have been a aftermarket hood. Ecklers and others made them so that you could update the older 68-72 cars with a neat looking hood.

One thing is for sure is that it did not come from Chevrolet on a factory L-88.
