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

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! [/ QUOTE ] I agree the mopars had the baddest looking hoods!
