Re: Coolest factory hoods of all-time
Concur on neat topic.
Another "lift-off". Low production, but available from the factory...  Big 'toon fan too...  And of course the aggressive subtlety of a '69 SS Malibu...

Re: Coolest factory hoods of all-time
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.

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? . ~ Pete
