Mecum Houston car with unusual hood
« on: March 11, 2012 - 08:41:37 PM »
Maybe this car has been around for a while....but for the listed cost of 4700, that hood doesn't do it for me

Swap hoods and you have a nice hemi 'cuda.   :2cents:
Maybe sell the hood for 50% off and get $2350 for it?  ::)

Yup, that's supposed to be a "Thunderbolt" hood. If memory serves they were the lightweight fords in the early 60's and yes, it's backwards. They look ok on a early 60's galaxy or fairlane but that's just weird IMHO.

Whoever did that to that poor "Cuda should have his arms ripped off and he should be beaten to death with them.
