The hood is in good condition. The only damage is the rear corners, but I think they can be fixed pretty easy with a fiberglass repair kit from most parts store. Appears to be straight / flat. Nothing is coming apart underneath.
Primered and ready for paint. (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/DSC01289.jpg) I’m selling it to get a pin-on, and I might actually get some paint too. $200 Sold This post has been edited by StanIROCZ: Jan 16 2010, 02:57 PM |

To bring this one back from the relative dead, did the 4-cylinder firebirds also have fiberglass hoods?

I might be wrong, but I can't remember a Firebird equivalent. I thought it was only a Camaro thing, but someone may correct me. I used to have an '89 Formula and I thought I looked into a factory fiberglass hood and didn't find them to exist...but it's been years and I could be a bit fuzzy on my memory now. |

That’s yet another reason why this hood is so rare. Someone should buy this thing right away before I change my mind. Maybe I'll just hang this on the wall in my basement and wait for the value to go up. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Searching in the thirdgen.org forums, there were some really, really rare aluminum hoods for '82 F Birds and at least one of the '92 Firehawks had one. Scan of '82-'83 part # and description Firehawk info Couldn't find anything to confirm a factory fiberglass or composite hood for any F Birds. Pat P.S. My car already has an OEM fiberglass hood.

Some "Knight Rider" Firebirds had the aluminum power bugle hood. I haven't seen one but they go for major bucks to Knight Riders. Only light weight stuff was the aluminum impact bumper which I have 3 for sale. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heh, it was just pointed out on sccaforums that the 4-cylinder camaros and firebirds are now specifically classed in FSP. Was this fiberglass hood available on anything other than the 4 cylinder camaro? If not, this hood is not ESP legal.

Not sure if it was available on the 4 bangers or not. |

Z28 only as originally it was designed with functional flappers for use with the crossfire injection cars I believe. actually there were two non-steel hoods...both for Z28's only. My first 82Z had a plastic composite hood. (was an LG4/SuperT10 carbed car). My second 82Z was a crapfire auto with the fiberglass hood and functional vents. I also had an 83Z with the L69/T5 and the fiberglass hood with functional scoops. I don't think that the plastic hood was all that common...I tried to find a replacement at one point in time and couldn't. I had 2-3 extra fiberglass ones...and sold them for $25 each in 2003! :doh: |

Someone else a couple weeks ago asked me if I had the 'plastic hood'. I assumed he meant FG, but I guess this confrims that there was also a plastic version.
The rear most corners of this hood have a little damage it looks like I can see the FG strands, so I'm pretty sure this is FG. But my vents are bolted solid ie I don't see how they could have been movable at one point in time. |
