Real ones are selling in the $3K range. Good repros with metal underside trays run $1500 or more.

If I had a real nice one, I don't think I would let it go for less than $2500-2000.

Top is for a 70 won't work on your car the other one will. Both are fiberglass you will need to get different hood springs for them.

From what I understand it takes some adjustment to make them work.

Fiberglass repros run about $550 from VFN. You can change out the springs or not. I didn't. You just have to know how to close it.

This is the closes thing to an original hood, be prepared to wait a few months or even maybe a year before you get it though. They have only 2 molds and it takes a couple of weeks to make one. The hood does have the metal frame so you can use your orginal springs.
