In spite of all that, this is my favorite.

To me, it is unparalleled in terms of function, appearance and craftsmanship.

The consistency in the material thickness around the scoop opening is just beautiful compared to aftermarket fiberglass parts.

This is up there, though.

Pretty dang clever to take an existing Ford part and slap a Pontiac part number on it.

The older I get the more respect I have for Mr Wangers & Co.

Fun article to read, but the first mention of Chevrolet's induction being completely wrong was a bit of a turn off. We all know, no '69 Z or '70 Chevelle were ever outfitted with the system described and shown in the pic as they claim...
