Hood scoop opinions

[6T5]

I got a new hoodscoop with this '65 Sat I just
bought.

It's either a generic Mopar style or the '68 A body hemi scoop.

It looks alot like the '65 superstock (as oppossed to the big hemi scoop or the max-wedge "dual" look). Not to big, just gives things an"attitude" IMO.

One difference from the original ss design is that the leading edge is raked foreward instead of slanting backward.

So the question is .....is it sacrelidge and all wrong to have a different year scoop on the car? I think it has the right look......not like a GM cowl stuck on there. Opinions please.


Heres a link that shows the Cuda hemi scoop.

I say if you like it go for it. Please no cowl GM scoops. uke:

I agree if you like it go for it do the car to make you happy

I promise......no cowl hoods...no Ford GT type...just mid 60's Mopar.

What if you turn the cowl scoop around so the opening faces forward? Now it's more like a 60's scoop. :icon_winkle: Maybe...

I put a ss scoop on my '77 Dobie. I like it and that's all that matters. Same goes for you and your car.

I like the one on my car, the max wedge scoop is awesome looking.

It's all about what you like. I personally don't mind cowl scoops. It depends on the look you are trying to achieve. I don't build by "committee". My 64 wedge has a 67 Hemi scoop because I liked how it looked

Great looking car! The Scoop looks right at home, and looks real good as well.

Thanks for the pic dvw.

The scoop I have is not too unlike yours and is clearly Mopar. Your pic shows that the exact year too much cause for concern....because your car looks great.

Yea, I'll use the new scoop I have ... it looks pure Mopar to me and no doubt looks good up on the hood.
