comparison of the hood scoops of a factoy hood scoop on a firebird, and the racing version on the same make and model that gets far better air from over the boundary layer

the 3 things I did that increased my enjoyment of my musclecars, cool shifter, huge hood scoop, and slotted mags with Pro-trac Racing Profile N50s

Found all these yesterday at the Santee annual car show, and it made me happy to remember my Demon, Challenger, and Super Bee. I don't have any of them anymore, but they were great, and brought me along in my enjoyment of Mopar Muscle
My Challenger was a rusty but strong 340 powered '71. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/this-was-primer-gray-phase-of-poor-but.html and the mags I had were 10 or 12 inches wide... damn they looked good

Mix of old and new, a 440 six pack lift off fiberglass hood... with a modern prop rod

First time I've seen anyone do this, pretty good idea so long as they don't leave it up too long in the hot sun. It might warp. Better this hood prop than the hood hinges with springs, they bowed the hoods along the middle with the springs trying to push them up constantly

1969 Ford Fairlane, might be a Cobra, or might be dressed up to look like one, because who gets an automatic Cobra?

I think these are some of the instant identifying tailights of the musclecars, ones you instantly know what the car is by seeing

For a vintage commercial look at the Cobra:

Sam "The Crazy Swede" Hubinette had a car if front of the Magnaflow semi truck, I hadn't noticed the 6pak hoodscoop on the roof before

Cool, literally. That is a factory (Dodge) designed hood scoop, available as a scoop or full fiberglass lift off hod for the 1969 440 6 pak Super Bee from a lot of restoration parts companies. That must be really good for catching air for the passenger compartment
