Hey guys,

Found out I'm missing a hood latch/lock assy and release lever for my 71 Cuda.
Please let me know if you can help.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks Alan,

I saw that and all I need is the bottom two pieces. And actually I have a lever but the spring is broke like the one in that auction.
Not sure how to fix the spring in that lever. But the latch I could probably use. Still lookin around.

Thank you keeping an eye open for me.  :wave:

I'll take em both.  :ylsuper:

The lever handle seems to be a little bent but looks like it can be bent back in place easy enough.
Does the springs action seem okay on both items?

If so, I will take them both.

I'll PM you my address.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Im on the same boat, I just need the release. $330 is just stupid, i'd rather just close my hood with hood pins than pay that sort of money.
