1970 dodge coronet superbee ram charger hood..

[hvychev]

Pretty cool topic! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Also a great place to ask I question that I have often wondered about. Who was the very first to use a shaker hood? Was it the Mustang Mach 1's in 69 or a Trans Am or what?

By the way the 1970 Mopar "Air Grabber" hoods are cool! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Assuming you were directing that at me http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I thought of the '67 SS427 hood first but decided that I should go with a scooped hood instead. You are right though, they are mean looking.

[markjohnson]

What a fantastic topic! A cold/fresh air indution system was almost always a feature on most musclecars. Very difficult to pick one, but I'd have to say my favorite would be the 68-69 L-88 Corvette hood with the element that stays in the hood when it is open. Now that's a big bulge that lets everyone know that you have something very special!

[rubbinisracing]

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!

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 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

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.

70-72 Olds W-30 hood

[PeteLeathersac]

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? .

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

I've sat back and heard all the other nominations. Hammer, I have to agree, that the hood on the '68 Motion is the BEST of them all.........considering the entire look of the car with it. BUT, it's NOT a factory hood.

My ballott HAS to go to the Roadrunner 69.5 440 3x2 lift-off. No other FACTORY hood has stated that presence of power under it as that hood did!!!!
The Hurst Olds long dual snorkle hood was the next choice of giving the appeal that something very sinister lurked under it, but a look at the overall car, which looked like a fat overweight stripper in a gold-stretched G-string cancelled the adrenalin rush from the hood.
just my opinion.

and of course, any thing that moves to the rev's, and that includes all mopar, F%$@ and T/A shakers

just my humble opinion.

[Johnny Horsepower]

To me hoods make the car! I currently own only functional air hoods. While my list consists of mostly wanted hoods.

1. 70,71 air grabber (Mopar) Hands down coolest
2. Shaker (e-bodies)
3. tie between Corvette 69 L88 and 67 stinger
4. Lift off A12 (Mopar)
5. 69 TA with blue stripes on the leading edge scoops.
6. AAR cuda tied with Challenger TA
7. Modern WS6 ramair hood
8. 69 and 70 ram air GTOs
9. 70 chevelle cowl hood
10. 70 and 71 functional TA shakers

I could go on I love hoods.

While in the post or reply screen, position the cursor

Select the "IMAGE" link to the right of the emoticons
