67 Big Block hood

Re: 67 Big Block hood

I have a 64 coupe that I am Restoring. It is a Non-matching # car that is going to Be a Driver. The car is silver and I want to put a stinger hood on it....Love the look! I have tried to find a original one that is in decent shape and not big $$. My question is...who makes the best fitting after market BB stinger hood if I end up going that route? Thanks

Hi Eric,

I'm a bit late to the party. I saw this thread, but am not fond of typing more than a very brief reply on my phone. Anyhow, I guess I am wondering what you consider big $$ to be. I sold a GM service replacement 67 big block hood on ebay a while ago for about $900.00 if I remember correctly. The service replacements are a little different than the factory installed pieces. I've never been to it, but I hear the winter Florida regional has a pretty good swap meet. If you can wait until August, Carlyle is probably your best bet for a GM stinger hood. I found one for my 66 there a few years ago. I guess I don't know what the reproduction hoods go for, but I would rather have a GM part. Your mileage may vary.

Re: 67 Big Block hood

Thanks Joe for the input. I have only located 1 original hood near me (vermont) and it needed some work and was still $1700. There is one that sounds like your GM service replacement on the corvette forum right now in real nice shape He is asking $1000 i think...which is about the same $ as a press molded repro. was going to send him a message today to see how much it may cost to ship here. I plan on hitting carlisle a couple of times this summer to get some other parts I will be needing.

Thanks
