Can anyone identify this hood scoop?

[Magnes]

I just wanted to update the post I started and show the result.

I did end up finding the exact scoop I was looking for on ebay. Yes, it is an original 79-82 Mustang part. I am only using it temporarily until I can find a good Air Grabber set-up so to the purists: Don't get too wound up about using a Ford part on a Mopar. It's just a little non functional hood scoop.

For any of the rest of you guys with a plain jane Satellite hood who would want to do something different but don't want a RR hood with the call-outs or can't afford an Air Grabber just yet, this could be a good option for you. I was all in on this for well under $100.

The scoop is well made. Sturdy fiberglass construction. There are a lot of them out there. It has 5 mounting bolts. In my case, the old bolts were worn so I removed them, widened the holes, installed new mounting bolts, and used fiberglass resin to seal the new mounting bolts in place on the underside of the scoop. I measured it out to center it up and drilled the 5 holes (1/4") into my stock hood. Some washers on the underside and lock nuts and bolted in place it is mounted solid and sturdy. Easy as pie.

I know some guys aren't going to like it and that's fine but I've had quite a few people asking me about this scoop so I just wanted to share it for them.

actually fits well in the hood design and looks good also

Looks great to me. Good job...

I think it looks great.
The only thing is that I've seen it on a lot of Ford's back in the day and it's just hard to get it out of my mind. Kind of like the Chevy cowl hood scoops. Once they are known as being there, well you know what I mean.
It is in proportion and looks like it was always part of the hood and I would guess it's a "one off" too!

Oh, I like how you framed the car with the fruit tree in the second pic. Very nice!

I am 100% sure that is the scoop off of a 1979-1982 Ford Mustang. That scoop made it's first appearance on the 1979 Cobra 4cyl Turbo Mustang. It went on to be used on the 5.0 V8 GT models as well.

Weren't those ford scoops non functional and sealed??? I don't believe they were open but had some fake louvres... Similar to the fake brake cooling ducts on 60s mustangs...

Hey it looks good and fits good. Don't worry about what someone might think. If you like it keep it. I am about to pi$$ off the ford crowd by putting a 5.7 hemi in a 70 mustang convertible. Because I want it in there.

No matter the origin, honestly I think it looks great ! And, the car looks great ! Very nicely done ! As stated before, I also like that pic with the fruit tree.

Looks like it is supposed to be there to me. Great job!

Had a scoop just like it on my 81 Stang back in the day.
