Les,
The original GM hood pins were just that, studs protruding from the hood with clips and cables that attach to the core support.
This car looks to have key lock plates on it for an anti-theft measure. No cables and clips, just a flat plate with a key provision that when turned, locked the hood shut.
Chris

Les,
This is what they should look like. By the way, NO questions are too dumb to ask. Someone here is always willing to help.

Rick,

I would think this LS6 would be very well known in the Chevelle world? Has it ever been judged and date codes examined? A paint gauge put on it? I checked around on the Chevelle forums and all anyone knows about it is that it was in some magazines and Roger Ausley owned it? The current owner has never put a paint gauge on it and isn't very forthcoming with information? Essentially his position seems to be that the odometer says 4700 miles and it's been in a few magazines pay the 300K and be happy? I have only communicated with him by email and keep missing him by phone.

Les,
It is and has been very well known. I personally have never had the pleasure to inspect the car but I am pretty sure it has been completely inspected and documented. It is what it is and has been around for a long time unmolested and very much a survivor from what I know about it. I have had a copy of the buildsheet for this car as well and long before they were being faked. If you are a serious buyer, you may want to call either Chris or Jeff and talk to them and/or hire them to inspect it for you. Well worth the money.

Is this some sort of Zen Chevy guy ritual where you guys only expound in short sentences? LOL Is there a Chevy guy secret handshake because if there is Dave didn't give it to me when I bought his Yenko? LOL LOL LOL
Is Chris affliated with the car or a Chevelle expert I can hire to help the poor dumb Ford guy with trying to buy the Chevelle?

Jeff Dotterer of Dated Components.

http://datedcomponents.classicjunkyard.com/

Both Chris and Jeff were former Judges for the National Chevelle Owners Association and between the two of them, there is little they do not know about the LS-6 Chevelle and most of the existing cars out there.

As far as Chris's contact information, he is on here every day he will contact you. I don't want to give out peoples phone numbers without their permission.

Both Chris and Jeff are good people and not only honest but very easy to deal with.
