Repro hoods are not that bad. Its a 73/74.

Its hard to fathom that someone installed that hood and displayed it in public.

I don't know that I agree. We had a spare hood that I believe was from a '73-74 and we added '67 Chevelle SS hood "bumps" to the center. I think it was a 73-74 because of the emblem holes we filled, but I can't be positive. Anyway, it worked fine, and the hood molding looked normal on a '70.

There might be something else going on with this car, or maybe my hood was a 68-72 hood that someone drilled for the 73-74 emblem? Very possible, as I do not know the origin of the hood, and I didn't really pay attention as to whether holes were drilled or stamped.
