I have the ICCA book at it shows 3 version of the hoods from 1968-1969.
Verison #1 was for early 68 cars and different bracing
Version #2 was for late 68 cars and seems to be what I have on my 69 built in 3/1969
Version #3 had the cut outs for the air grabber option.

What is the chance that the hood I have came as original for the factory. I am asking because we are building a correct as built restoration and I am trying to decide if I need to get a different hood. I would hate to spend the money as this hood is in good shape and was advertised as being correct.
The pic attached shows the car before we began the restoration/ blasting.
thoughts?
