No pop up spring on an AAR. I’ve got two now and had several over the years. You reach up and grab the opening in the scoop to open it. Glad you was not betting your life. Lol.
I wouldn't have bet anything on it at all.
I've never owned a T/A or AAR myself, I've never been into the small block powered cars only big blocks and Hemi's.
I'm pretty sure that I remember someone that had an AAR back in the 80's that had the pop up spring on it.
Was it factory? I have no idea, maybe they were tired of fighting to get the hood open and added the spring to it.
