I have that hood from Grumpy Toy VII 70 Camaro show/street car. I bought it from the Grump and he gave me a letter documenting that it is a steel prototype 1970 cowl induction hood from Chevy engineering. Grump saw it on a visit to Chevy and they were going to scrap it so they sent it to Bill to use on the show/street car. Bill removed it before returning the car.
He said he needed the VII to meet all the promo dates and events that the the race car could not attend.

Joe, Bill's guys were telling me about that hood not too long ago. Got a pic of it today? Sure sounds cool!

the hood looks the same as when on the car, original white paint and black stripe

it is very well made using a stock hood and looks like the top of a 69 cowl hood and hand made parts to look like a L88 hood

Very cool story and WoW that you have the hood now!
Love to see a current shot of it, is it wall art or on a car?

Does anyone know if VII is known or accounted for?

No racing history, but would still be a killer find.
