Could someone please identify this hood?

I found this in a local auction listing, the pic isn't the greatest....I'm 99% sure that's a caprice grill bolted to it, but does anyone know what kind of hood this is? Thanx

looks like a suncoast hood at first glance. around 700~800 new

I'm with Sprocket, Suncoast methinks.

Nice score!

I haven't scored yet...the auction is in the morning. If it's nice enough, I will be bidding I was thinking it may be a suncoast, but wasn't sure. I don't know what I'll do with it though, but feel as if I must have it....

I like those. They look mean. Good luck!

You could gift it to me as an early birthday gift!


Nice find. Hope you snag it on the cheap.

x2 Suncoast. Don't think it is the one like Bill has on the Marshmallow.

I would like one of these for the SS...

I went to the suncoast website, and it definitely is one. Whats even better, they sell the raiss kit to make it a functional ram air. Whats even 'mo better, I already have raiss on my wagon. I'm heading that way in about 2 hours...IT'S ON!

pics of your new hood on the car please......

FYI you have to cut the top of the raiss box to fit the suncoast hood. They provided a template for me.

Could you describe how you had to cut the raiss box please? I did get it, despite the fact it needs a bit of fiberglass work. I didn't think that was a big deal since it's gonna need paint anyways. And yes, I probably did pay too much for it, but it's not very often I see something like this pop up for sale locally.

a little over an inch comes off the top and then tapers down. I got the template from Suncoast when I bought a hood from them.

how much did you get it for??

Nick

$75.00.....I think it's a bit high, but really I guess it's 1/10 of new.

I think you got a damn good deal. lol I'd have been all over that.

I probably could have got it for $5. The auction was going so slowly. I had been there 3 hours, and it was probably another 2 away and I had to go. I pulled the owner to the side and asked him about a straight sale, as time was an issue for me. He knew if not for that he'd have to give it away, and honestly I felt bad for the guy. I had already bought two full sets of beauty rings and a full set of crown vic hub caps for $6.

Wow. Too ad auctions like that don't happen here. lol

I remember a kit to turn our wgons into a Nomad. Looks like the hood spears rounded on a 57 chevy. Im thinking the hood is from that kit.

Good idea, but it's not the same thing.
