A few dealers in this area are adding the scoops on their
own. I've seen them with a '69 GT/MI style scoop, and I like it.
The stock hood is just too big and flat. To me, it looks just
too empty. The old style scoop goes good with the factory retro
styling.

I've also seen them with a flat black hood, like a '69, and I
like that too.
