I think they look cool but they originally did not come on those combos. 67 was the first year for the Street Hemis as a WO or an RO S/S package and the 2 door hard tops and sedans were the only Fairlanes with a glass hood and scoope. Was this a change made in recent times? Im just asking when this came about? Was it a letter from Carrol Shelby or mother MoPar?
Terry I believe your right, because MOPAR DID NOT put a scoop on anything in 1966... The STREET HEMIS were available in Dodges & Plymouths in the hardtop or sedans in 66 & 67, but WITHOUT a scoop!!! In 1967 the RACE HEMIS were available in Dodges & Plymouths WO and RO package was superstock ONLY and hardtop ONLY and yes WITH a scoop!!! Your memory serves you well, not sure about the FORDS but we know someone that does.Maybe there was a letter -[MORE PAPER]
