Quote: The hood was original to the car I believe because : it was a early 70 hood, original paint on hood (EV2), no damage to front of car and who would change a sport hood to a flat unless it was damaged ? and then to find an original paint EV2 flat hood to put on it ? When we pulled this car apart we where very careful and documented everything we did.
It could have been done when brand new though. If a customer wanted a sports hoos on a regular Challenger the dealer could have swapped them.
As an example ... when I bought my yellow Audi back in '97 it was the last V6 car left in the country. I wanted it but didn't like the rear spoiler. So the dealer swapped the trunk lids with a yellow turbo 4-cylinder car they had on the lot. So whoever got the turbo car got a factory spoiler on a car with factory paint from day one and probably never knew the difference. Well, except the dealer probably charged him for the spoiler.
