BESIDES the A-12 Six Barrel fiberglass with scoop?
I believe that their cold air hoods pulled air from the sides. the 70 had the air grabber in the middle.

No! '68 and '69 did have the two raised areas on the hood. But only the '69 had "ram air". '73 and '74 had the hoods your talking about.

This style bulge hood with the chrome "hockey sticks" was only available on 1968 & 1969 Dodge Superbee & Coronet R/T.

Just for reference: 1968 & 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner and GTX used this style hood. The inserts in the hood were different between 68 & 69.

Thank you to all for the help. Had a guy tell me he had a 68 RR bulge hood he wanted to sell. Must be a Dodge hood that he doesn't know the difference in. I will update after I see it. Thanks and take care, B.C..
