hood interchange

jason s · 04-06-2007, 11:13 AM

hello, this is my first post. i recently purchased a 69 cutlass to restore and was wanting to install the w-25 (?) twin scoop hood. all the places that i have looked for it, have it listed for 70-72 models and was wondering if it would fit on my 69?

The 70 hood (71-72 is different) can be used on a 69, but with some modifications. You'll need to change to a 70 style latch assembly.
