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 scoop. 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?

Jason has run his Belvedere as both a 66 w/o scoop and 67 w/scoop..That was always the argument with Judy Lily's 67 2dr S/S sedan that it supposedly came straight from MaMopar as a RO equipped 2dr sedan. If I remember what I read about it is they made them change it back to a non scooped hood.

Dosent matter what year he claims.....The hood scoop ONLY came on the WO and RO Super Stock package 2 door hard top Belvederes. All the Judy Lilly stuff was just MoPar tryng to pull some BS.....Like the new DP's......lol. I lived thru that era and years earlier but lets just say that someone left the barn door open at NHRA and ALL of the cows (and Elvis) have left the building ! Its not what is stock or OEM but its what NHRA allows you to get away with is all that counts or matters.
