1966 Hood Support

[Earl Gunnerson (36852)]

I am looking at 1966 Coupe, 327/350hp with air conditioning, no power steering and TI. The car appears to be very original and the person I am talking with is the second owner so this adds a little more credibility to the originality. The question is about the hood support. This car has the hood support on the right side and does not appear to have ever been changed or messed with, no buba stuff. The JG says the hood support is on the left side with air. Nolan's book says that some of the 66 350hp cars may have the support on the right side. Does anybody know of any 66 350hp air, no power steering, TI cars that have the hood support on the right side. I had posted this earlier and had mistakenly stated the car was a 1965, it is 1966, sorry for the mess up.

My Car is a late 66 300hp with a/c and original hood support on the right side.

Re: 1966 Hood Support

Ian,

Thanks for the imput. This car I am looking at was built in the first part of July, 1966 (7/5/66 if I remember right). It is obviously a late build car. Would you mind tell me the build date for your car?

Re: Mine too....

Thanks guys this helps a lot. It appears that the JG should be changed.
