How can i tell if this thing is real and what is it worth??..i didnt even know they make such an animal, so if this guy is pulling my leg let know- so i can beat him with a stick for making me look like a fool on team camaro!!(hahahaha)

Learn something new everyday but seems we would have seen it before if these were really out there, so I'll say it's not real. I'd be curious to know what, if any, car came off the floor with hood-pins. Maybe the 442?

442s had locks, not pins. Chevelles, Rambler/Scramblers, Challengers, Superbirds, Mach 1..............Hoodpins

Not real.

Regarding the pins question-- The infamous Heavy Chevy came with hood pins, and I believe SS Chevelles from '71 - '72 could also get them. I've also seen an LS-6 Chevelle with pins, but am fairly certain that they weren't available.

I think the 442 kinda had pins on their fiberglas hoods-- Pseudo-pins that locked with a twist. The '71 - '73 Mach1 had pseudo-pins with external locks also.

Shelby Mustangs had true hood pins, as well as the AC Cobra.

Roadrunners with fiberglas hoods had pins, as well as the fiberglas hoods on Cudas and Challengers.

That's about all I've got. If I've missed any, or am incorrect, please publically slap me in the mullet.

camaro guys!! a camaro hood ,69 z28 cowl, cross ram hood ,fiberglass!!!!! real or is he pulling my leg?? ive seen it..

Bill, an original fiberglass crossram hood is worth a few bones, but you need to check it out closely before plucking down your money. First, get Wayne Guinn's book "Camaro Untold Secrets" and start with page 96. Second, if you're seriously looking into buying it, you might want to get Jerry involved. Third, post a TON of pictures here so we can look at it.

There was one on a 68 Camaro race car out of cali a few years ago... the car sold on ebay but the hood didn't go with the car... the car/hood was light metallic blue.

DO THEY HAVE ANY GM STAMPING ON THEM???

Not that I know of, but I've never even seen one in person. They're VERY rare!

Im digging into to the info but man there is a lot of red tape to read through!!

I have a video tape of a Daytona Yellow Z that had a fiberglass cross ram hood on it from about 10 years or so ago give or take. The dealer was called "Classic Covettes & Collectibles" in Tarpon Springs Florida & I was considering buying the car back then so they sent me the video.

I am not 100% sure, but I want say I remember Charley saying some years ago, he knew the guy that bought the car and there turned out to be some issues with it but I don;t remember if he said what it was. :confused: Then again it might have been the Garrnet red crossram Z they had at the time he referenced. It's been to long ago, Charley do you remember this or am I way off base?? :o

I might try & look for the video and see if I can record it with our video camera and try and upload it if you guys would like to see it. :)

So this thing is and might be legit?? The hood is le mans blue with white z stipes and chrome around the holes where the hood pins would go(kinda like a 70 chevelle)!! And the hood is def. Fiberglass!!I didnt even know they made this hood..im telling my bud it aint real..thats what he is thinking too, thats its not real!!

Yes, let me see if I can find that videothanks nick!!

Bill, check out Wayne's WEB PAGE (http://www.camaro-untoldsecrets.com/articles/rpo_zl2.htm) on the "Super Scoop". There are a few pictures of the fiberglass one.

Ed

ed,thats it!! it sure does look like it!!.thanks man!! wiw

Look at the rear edge of the scoop section of the hood that would hang over the cowl. If there is a vertical lip there on the underside, about 1/4" tall theres a possibility its real. No lip definately means repro. The hood should also have inner stiffeners as well as an area to real to the oval crossram air cleaner. There are no GM part numbers or identifying marks on them.

Ok, I found the video give a few minutes to upload it. :)

I gotta save this and compare it to the hood when i look at it tonite!!..THANKS NICK!!

Bill, the one you're looking at has hood pins though? right?

mark, its just the hood!!..the holes are there where hoods pins would go through it!..did not get a chance to compare it last nite my lil 15 month old girl(kassidey) wasnt feeling to good, she wanted her daddy all nite!!

Look for the lip on the back edge of the scoop. Someone just posted pics of one I think on Yenko.net within the last two weeks.

its all good, we are not going anywhere !!ive been on extened lunch for the last week, my boss says that to me all the time!!:d(dang, what am i saying?? im the boss!!) or thats what i tell myself.

I own my own company, but my wife is still the boss!!

Well ,all i have to say is thanks for everyones help, but this hood looks nothing like the real thing in the pics and the video!!!! The underneath is different!! I guess its a clone or a harwood or a knock off?? But it doesnt have the oval underneath for the cross ram??? ..dang, i thought i had someone a hood for thier z car!! Oh well,..thanks guys!!
