Yes the '76 steel formula hoods will fit on a '71 bird,as a matter of fact I have one that's going to go on my '72 bird.
I bought it cause it gives just a little bit more room under the hood than the OE flat hood did,and it looks a hell of a lot better than the flat hood too.
Another thing is the one I found perfectly matched my "well aged" white bird in terms of "patina" and such,it looks like it had been on the car for all those years.
The steel formula hood also seems to be a little lighter than the OE flat hood was too.
But I did'nt weigh them to confirm that,so that's mostly just based on my perception of that deal.
I dont know of anyone making them in glass though...
As for finding an OE one,I can ask my friend here if he has another or knows where to find one,or if you PM me I can get you his number,he has tons & tons of second gen Fbody stuff.
