Looking for a 1971 Cutlass 442 flat hood with the louvers cutout. One that isn't going to require a ton of elbow grease to get in shape to paint would be great. Thanks in advance!

The hood you're looking for is common for both 71 and 72 Cutlass S and Cutlass models. Only difference is the 72 hood has no cowl piercing for AC cars. There have been several of these hoods FS on this site over the past while and no one seems to want them. They're all looking for the W25 hood repros and as one of our mods points out - There are more 442s with W25 hoods now than ever left the factory. Glad to hear you're sticking with a stock item.

 

Your 1500 miles to far from me.

 

Check with John McNeel (aka 2blu442 on CO) He collects and dismantles only Olds. Located in Medford OR which isn't that far from you. He's a great guy and very fair with pricing. He's about the closest guy I know of in your area.
