a hood scoop sold as an official Ford accessory may detach from the hood... and they didn't engineer for the amount of force the real world dishes out
How that's going to make someone satisfied, when they can't remove the scoop without fixing the mounting holes, I don't know. It should have been a replacement hood instead, and leave it to the Bronco owners to decide whether they'll chance their hood flying off and damaging the windshield and roof, and possibly other vehicles in traffic behind them, or, have a new replacement hood installed and the hood with a mounted scoop traded in.

variations in the way the 440 six pack hood have been built (factory fiber glass option in 1969, when buying a race car was legit from a dealership)
obviously these are not all Mopar made.
I bought one from Year One and put it on my Super Bee in 1996. I loved that lift off hood, and will get one for my 69 R/T probably next year or the year after that

Ever see a 1967 Impala SS427 hood? I never have until now, they only made 2100 of them. Thank you Lee! Thank you Kim!
Since you might not read the comments, I want to post what Lee wrote, as it's great information:
Originally, the 3x2 427 was going to be available on the 1967 SS427. But GM cancelled all multi carb engines except for the Corvette for 1967. That's what the hood means: Tr-Carb.
BTW, those hoods sell for between $10,000 and $20,000 depending on condition

London-Sydney Marathon 1968 had some interesting cars, and they had some interesting mods to the hoods and lighting, and terrific kangaroo bouncers
That's a hell of a lot of air dam
Crazy hood scoop trifecta

this hood makes a lot of cars look a lot better
but I think this is the 1st time I've seen it on a 71 Road Runner

I don't think I've seen a 6 pack scoop on a 70 Super Bee before.. it looks good, especially with the yellow high beams
and putting the Hurst Equipped badge in the grill? Nice touch!

The Qualls family hemi Challenger, a 1970 R/T SE Super Track Pak 4-Speed, and the factory goofed up, and lost in small claims court.
Three amazing things about this unrestored Challenger Godfrey Qualls bought back in 1969, are that it remains in its original family, it's a real 426 Hemi car, and the gator pattern vinyl top.
Godfrey Qualls was in the 82nd Airborne, the Green Berets, and special forces... and after getting out of the Army, he did 37 years in the Detroit Police Dept
But, the real unique thing about this Challenger is that it's the only non-N96 Shaker hood hemi Challenger in the 2017 MCACN Wellborn exhibit of shaker hood cars
Also, it is still wearing the dealer-installed plastic seat covers, having nearly every piece of original paperwork and the original owner was a police officer from Detroit who sued Chrysler when that N96 was not on his new car
The story is that the automaker had discontinued the N96 Challenger due to safety concerns early in the model year, though more recent research has suggested the company had actually planned on holding it for a 1971 release and safety was an easy excuse. The bottom line was Qualls was unhappy enough that it was lacking that he went to small claims court and won a settlement in the spring of 1970 that included the replacement pieces. When the originating dealership wanted the car for a week to do the conversion, however, he decided he would be better served not allowing those line mechanics “testing” his car, and took the parts to do his own retrofitting.
Following some issues in the late 1970s, the Dodge was tucked away in a local private garage and would remain dormant for the next three decades.

the 1973 Firebird Formula SD-455 was listed by Pontiac as getting built with the twin scoop Formula hood. They didn't though, and they got the T/A shaker hood
The car did not arrive with the twin-scooped Formula hood ordered, but rather the Trans Am shaker hood. Pontiac made the switch on purpose, actually. There were so few Formula SD-455s built that, to simplify emission certification requirements, the Formula SD-455s got the same shaker as the Trans Am.

the seventies puked all over this Superbird... hood scoops from a Dart and sidepipes? Good lord! I bet they had a CB antenna on it too!
be a true friend, don't let your friend do drugs and put hood scoops on anything Road Runner derived. It's just not right. Super Birds, Road Runners, GTX, Belvedere, and Satellites... no adding hood scoops. It either has the 440 Six Pack lift off 1969 1/2 fiberglass A12 hood... or it was never meant to have fiberglass on the hood. Either it was blessed from the factory with the push button Air Grabber rising scoop from the carb, or it had a flat and lifeless hood. No mixing and matching!

Mopars were hated and slandered pretty bad by the March 1971 issue of Hot Cars and High Performance Stockers, their stupidity is likely why they don't exist anymore
Holy shit. They called the 'Bird a turd. Ignorant? Instant awesome and collectible. Nice spelling of Gotham you assholes
the only on call hoodscoop I can think of on any car ever made. Their sarcasm aside, it was cool, tuff, and boss
Contrarily, I think the 71 Barracuda was very good looking due to the grill and gills
Looks like a Duster, and yeah, it's paint wasn't high quality, because the Duster was about the cheapest car you could by from Plymouth
Might be a jargon term, but "Limp"? Dimple maybe
thanks to J for sending me this from the March 1971 Hot Cars and High Performance Stockers
