At least since 1973 the inside hood release was standard on the Grand Am, Luxury LeMans, Grand Prix and also on upscale full-size models. I'm sure it was around 1972-earlier but I don't have info on that.
If you ever spot one in a salvage yard, buy it. The plastic connector under the hood inner fender tends to be fragile.
I have a 75 (non-Luxury) LeMans that has the inside hood release. I wasn't aware it was optional. As referenced above, my 74 Grand Am and my 73 GA parts car both have the inside release.
