There's in your face,but I'll take the subtlety of an A with ZL2 all day-frames the road just right from the cockpit too!

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

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

Drums roll please.............

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

Just my .02 cents

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...

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.

This is an easy one! The Fiberglass T/A hood on the 340 T/A Challengers. Any a few 70 Hemi-Challengers.
