bulge hood price

[Charger1973]

I paid $1000 for mine, its rust and dent free and he was willing to deliver it 2 states away for $150.  I was (and still am) very happy with it.

I don't want to put $1,000 in a hood. So has anyone bought one of the fiberglass hoods?

re: the differences as said 74's have no vents, 73's have a big gap between, 72's have a smaller gap and the vents go right across, 71's have no gap with vents all the way across but you can get them with the 72 style gap. the fiberglass hood thing i have heard it can be more trouble than its worth the place that sells them is in canada http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/charger.html but be careful, i have hear some sketchy stories when it comes to glass just be prepared for more work before it goes on your car. btw there is a place in the usa who make them as well just one style i think?

And just to prove that no rule is firm, I own a January 7, 1974 build date 74 Rallye with a hood that has 73- vents and the 73-style wiper system. When I got the car it had original paint and still has the original 74 emission decal on it.



If anyone just has to have a steel one, I'll trade a very nice 73 bulge hood for a race weight bolt-on and $500.

Hmmm fiberglass hood huh....wonder how much $$ you would be into it before you can use it on your car?  needs lighter spings to be used or it will rip the hood at the mount....always need alot of prep work before any paint can happen...have poor mounting area for the hood latch pin and are known for flying off....no thanks

I sold a mint 73' Bulge hood with no dents and it just needed stripped & painted. I sold it for $650, I am not greedy.
All the rich folk are making 3rd gens and parts way to much $   

And you sold me a perfect Bulge hood for $400.00 2 years ago.  Thanks BMOTOXSTAR

That's why I joined this site, to find the right answers, thanks.
Now why hasn't any of these after market places made a "power bulge" add-on type scoop?
