Somebody makes a fiberglass 71-72 GTO hood, but not an original steel one. I haven't heard anything about anybody repop'ing the 71-72 GTO hood.

Good hoods are even more expensive than the fenders. Several years ago, I looked at a 72 Lemans conv w/endura that was for sale. The owner had paid $700 for a hood from one of the Pontiac parts vendors. This hood had small holes where a hood scoop had been attached to the hood. Other than that, it was a nice hood. That's kinda pricey, but they are hard to find.

I wouldn't be surprised if the parts vendors are a little hesitant to try tooling any more hoods. The 71-72 hood looks a lot tougher to tool than the 68-70 GTO hood, and I heard it took multiple tooling iterations to get that hood right.

I'm not sure if collector cars are selling very well at all right now, unless they are really desirable. I have a black 79 T/A T-top car with a bad motor and excellent body for $1200. It was advertised in Hemmings and PY and CP. Hardly any interest, but a year ago it would have sold quickly.
