67 Chevelle Hood Fit My 66 GTO?
I think I know that answer but want to ask if there are any compatible hood replacements or substitutes for 66 GTO?
I know I can get a repop but want the quality of OEM. In the future I may install a dual quad tunnel ram setup and I don't want to cut my original hood. Joe |

Why Chevelle hood? There has to be as many 1965-67 Pontiac Tempest/LeMans hoods out there.

No, a '67 Chevelle hood will not fit on your GTO. Totally different shape.
If you're planning to cut the hood up anyway, just get a re-pop GTO hood.

Have you already got one? Because Pontiac tunnel rams aren't common, and they certainly aren't cheap. If money doesn't matter, the 65-67 flat hood is reproduced.

I can get a good deal on a 67 Chevelle hood OEM locally for $100.00

Get a Lemans/tempest hood - I have cut up and/or tossed a few over the years as they are virtually worthless on the used market.

Yes I have one already and bought it years ago. Thinking of a change and to use it. Yes, agree on repop.

As already stated above you’d be surprised at how cheap you can find ‘65 - ‘67 Tempest/Le Mans hoods for, usually from free to $100.
There’s always someone who’s swapped their flat hood for a GTO hood and just wants the old hood gone. About 20 years ago I got a bunch of stuff out of someone’s way and took everything they were giving away, one of those ‘65 flat hoods, a complete ‘70 350 and a new set of 3-tube headers were some of the things I took home. On the same trip I scored a stock flywheel, a complete ‘65 3.23 open Le Mans rear and a nice 1” rear sway bar from another PY member along the way. Even then it still cost me for the gas to do a 300+ mile round trip and a full day on the road, so free usually heavy or bulky parts are out there if you’re willing to do some driving.

I was going to clean up the area behind the bumper but after I wiped the frame rail with a rag and saw the original paint, decided to leave well enough alone.

I have a clean white, original '65 LeMans hood I'd sell.. Been holding onto it so I run my bathtub manifold with a scoop.
Hit me up this summer if you don't find one closer to you. |
