Re: 1969 Trans Am
No, there was no difference between the regular 69 Trans Am hood and a 69 Trans Am RAIV hood. Of course, there was a big difference between the long twin scoops of a Trans Am hood verses the smaller "traditional" scoops of a 67-69 Firebird 400! The 69 Trans Am hood was a one year only item, and only used on the Trans Am.
Not sure what you may have seen, but it may have just been the fact that the guy had a steel T/A hood. There's lots of clones running around with the fiberglass hood.
The only factory installed fiberglass hood was on the prototype car, which oddly enough was Palladium Silver (not white with blue stripes), and was road tested by Hot Rod. This one off fiberglass hood had a slightly different scoop shape, but looked like the 69 Trans Am production version.
