1969 442 hood

Couple hundred. A lot is dependent on a buyers location to you, as no one wants to pay shipping costs on top of purchase price, so you will need to find someone close to you who wants your hood.. And be carefull who you buy your W25 hood from, as the cheap ones need tons of extra work before they fit the car correctly. A body shop will charge you up to a couple thousand dollars to fix a cheap hood.

Keep it. It'll be one less thing on the list for a subsequent owner to deal with if he wants to put the car back to original. The more "born with" parts your car has, the more appealing to buyers it will be.

[QUOTE=Koda;1282785]Especially since a 69 never came with a fiberglass W-30 hood, so there will be a lot of potential buyers having a WTF moment.
The car isn’t original anymore anyways and I plan on restoring it and prefer the look of a W-30 hood. If this was an original car I wouldn’t think about doing this for the reason you’ve stated. Should have clarified right away - sorry

Thanks for clarifying, I understand your purpose now. A total mod is fine.

Regardless of whether you're restoring it or restomodding it, the more original parts you have for it, the more valuable it will be to a potential buyer. I've always kept original parts to the cars I've modified and in all cases the buyers were happy to have them.
