You did a lot of impressive work on that Tuske427.

John, here is my interior hood release option. If I recall these were dealer installed from 69 to 72 on the A bodies. I'm sure you will know more than me about the years it was offered.

I found this NOS example over 20 years ago. Its a nice option and while not a lock, its just like a modern car, pull to release on the interior and then pull the usual under the bumper for the secondary release.

I found most people have never seen one and it does get some notice from the more sharp eyed show goers. Though it does require a note if the car is getting worked on as to inform its there and how to use it.

I just met a guy with a 70 Judge that has this option in his car, this was the first one that I seen in person that I can remember. I bet it is a rare option. I also met a guy a couple of months ago with a 69 GTO Conv with the shoulder harness, I told him about your car as you spoke about it before on here, he was trying to get info on it, not sure if he ever reached out to you. Thanks, Marc.

I bought one several years back but haven't installed.

Attached are scans of the paperwork that came with it.

May help someone.
