69 Z28 Stock Flat Hood

[FrankieZ]

OK guys need some more opinions here I am looking at a numbers matching Z without the cowl induction option is it true that IN REALITY THE FACTORY ONLY BUILT 10,026 Z/28'S W/ THE 'SPECIAL DUCTED ZL-2 HOODS'* SO, MANY SEEN HAVE BEEN ADDED BY INDIVIDUALS OR DEALERS. i am attaching a few pics.

I would say they only built around 4-5 thousand Z's with the duct hood, maybe less. Sometime maybe in late December of 68 you could get one, but doubt it. If the car was standard interior, I don't think a flat hood even came with insulation back then. Very few Z/28's had factory installed duct hoods I believe. Sam

I agree Sam. If there were a little over 10,000 Camaros with the cowl hood, 3675 were Pace Cars, around 800-1000 were COPOs and then add in some SS cars and that leaves 5000 or less for the Z28's.

I believe that around 10% of the -69 Z28 cars had the special ducted hood from the factory.
My friend Hans has a nice one that came with a flat hood, but had the hood switched in the seventies.

I don't believe the insulation is correct for a 'flat' hood. It's true, very few Z/28s originally had the cold air hood but it seems all of them have one now. When I bought my Z/28 last year it had a GM ZL2 hood on it that was added back in the 80s. I bought a used flat hood, painted and installed it. Now it looks like it did from the factory.

Wow, just noticed that this was my 69th post. My favorite number

Me to. My car came with the works when I got it. But from the factory it was a flat hood no spoilers car.

My 69-Z came with the flat hood and thats the way I am going to leave it.

Flat hoods, without the deluxe interior which included sound and noise proofing, didn't come with hood insulation. I am pretty sure. Standard interiors with flat hoodsinsulation. Sam
