Huh, funny that this came up because I saw a video of a really nice looking 73 formula SD 455 car with a shaker hood scoop. I kinda figured it was due to the fact that those hoods didn't always hold up so well and replacements being hard to find. This thread got me thinking about that.

This is the video. The Formula part starts at 6:13

Then today I found this:

So these were factory cars? That's pretty cool. Makes you want one.

Edit (1): plus that blue bird can fly! 12.89!
