We thought the hood was a repro but it's the original, they just cut the scoop off and added alittle more height to it. My dad is the third owner of the car. The second owner only drove it a total of ten time the whole time he owned it. My dad plans on not touching a thing on it except for maybe adding the correct wheels, and seats. Any one going to Carlisle next will see it there as he plans on bringing it down.
