    Can anyone help me identify a factory BB hood

    I have a seller who is cleaning out and selling off his (recently deceased) father's shop, He has a C-3 427 hood but he is not sure if it is original what indicators are there that this baby is a factory hood?
    anything that I can tell him to check on? so he would know?

    Thanks

    Johnny -

    The entire inner surface of the hood should be smooth press-molded fiberglass; if it's rough-textured with visible fiber strands, it's a hand-laid reproduction.

        Someone recently said the original hoods have a part number near the upper left edge as viewed when the hood is open. Early BB hoods ('68-early '69) have two nut plates for a white sheathed hood release cable. Late hoods have only one nut plate for a black sheathed cable.
