This is certainly very different... If Olds had come out with this oai hood design, does anyone think they would be as popular as they are right now?
I for one do not but that's my opinion.....what say you?

two years ago at Lansing I talked to a guy there showing his car. He was an engineer who a buddy of mine recognized as one of the guys who worked on the OAI hood. I swear he said it was originally was just one wide scoop. He said folks were not involved in following through on engineering and design, so he handed off his R&D to another group who took it a step further who then handed it off to another group. Although he was involved with the initial testing and design it was a different animal about time it was released. I'm guessing the first design might have looked like that - with different paint scheme I'm sure

Modification would have looked better if the center tunnel was all the same height. The underhood components have been equally 'modified'. What a waste of a good OAI setup. Note: the base is not an OAI base, just a 4bbl with lopped off snorkel.
One thing I really like about the 70's is the mirrors and grills.
Bamboo was NOT a rare color as the seller claims. It was a standard palate color choice for 1970 = PNT code 50

Well it appears the market is also telling the seller something about the car. The best bid is around 10k less than the reserve.
Watch for a new listing, or a CL in the area.
