68 Cutlass S Hood Hinges needed

I have a good drivers side but the passenger side is bent. Shop pulled down on hood before lubing the hinge,,,,, so bent is the word.
I assume I have to buy a set but I need it.
Please let me know what you have, condition, and shipping to 33578 Florida.

Thx, Howie

I had my hinges for my 1968 restored by Willie at HoodHingeRepair.com. He did a masterful job at what I felt was a reasonable price. Turnaround time was about 10 days.

They appear to be correct for a '68. I have one in my shop right now.

Hello: Here are photos of my hinges.









Seems to me that the bolt slots are not quite the same. Yours looks to have been enlarged. However, they look like the same as my 68 hinges. Hood hinges that have two bolts to the fender from early 70's Pontiacs have a different bracket for the spring on the side closer to the ground when opened and look a bit different.

Regards, Trent in Los Angeles
