Hood Scoop Baffle/Grille

Actually, go to the Shelby museum in Bolder Co's web site and look at CSX3032 & CSX3224. There's at least these two & the prototype that ran them.

That perforated screen reflects the preference of the restorer, who did both cars, and not the original detail.

Nonetheless what? The cars didn't come with screens. 3224 is a street car, it didn't even come with a scoop.

Nonetheless: it is there & it has been done. That's my only point. It has already been established that it's not original. Heaven forbid someone go & do a thing like that. It's no big deal. get over it.

Well, this is the originality forum, therefore things discussed here revolve around correctness. Posting about two cars that had unoriginal mods added after the fact, AFTER it's already been estabished in the thread that it's not correct, doesn't make any sense.

Technical foul!! Somebody shoot me!!

But seriously, it made some kind of sense to me at the time since I had just found it myself. Since the 427 was never homolagated we really don't know if it's something that may have been employed or not. Maybe yes, maybe no, nonetheless, there it is in full color and someone that owns those REAL cars thought enough to go ahead and do it.
