    Ease of Removing Lift Off Hood

    Only these two unfortunately. I picked the premium hide out myself at Global Leather Supply in Santa Ana, CA. Already dyed. But a perfect match for the car and so close to the original color it was amazing. Funny thing is my interior was virtually perfect and didn’t need what I did - it was a...

    Ease of Removing Lift Off Hood

    I don’t think so - still a two man job. The color is Black Agate Pearl. A deep 3 stage. Believe it or not. I was in process of buying an 2003 Lexus back in 2003. I bought Pearl white - but they were sporting this new color that looked pretty sharp. I still have the 03 but if you see this other...

    Ease of Removing Lift Off Hood

    I put one on my 68 X back in 71. Owned the car for 48 yrs and always took off and put back on myself. A lot of guys grab thru the scoop. I never once did that for fear of damaging the relatively thin scoop glass. I always lifted from the front corners to sides and put it up on my vinyl top. Put...

    Real 6 pack hood?

    Pretty rough looking but it also looks exactly like one off a bird. Thats what I had on my X - came off a 69 Six Pak RR in 71. In that kind of shape maybe $200. It's hard to tell regarding cracks and prior repairs etc. The originals were pretty sturdy and resilient for someone that knew how to...

    A12

    Ok - I did most of the A12 stuff to my 68 GTX. It was way back when I first got the car - 1972. I loved everything about the GTX just the way it was except it needed a a little more pizazz so first in came the cragars and rwl Goodyears. But I always really loved the A12 look and performance...

    Six Pack Hood ID

    I have an original 69 a12 hood on the GTX. It looks very similar except the rise down the center in front of the scoop. Mine has a different configuration. Looks like you have a very nice piece there tho. If you want absolute confirmation you could post it on the a12 forum here on FBBO. Those...

    A12 on Smokey Mountain Traders

    It sure looks like a sweet bee but you don’t know what they don’t know. The mechanics are not really discussed in the bio anyway. I figured it would go for the $75k by now. Seems to be priced fairly good. I’m surprised the 2 nd owner sold it for $60k to SMT. That would have really been the time...

    Story of my first A12

    Cool story - thx for sharing. I had 3 brothers in Nam at that time. I’m the one that bought the ride tho. Got hooked on 68 GTX - couldn’t let go. Just sold it about 6 months ago after 48 years. I cloned it with the A12 setup way back in the day. She really screamed. Still does.

    1969 road runner A12 hood

    Wow that’s a great price for the YO hood. A beat up factory one would cost more than double that. Or more....

    Simple question?

    THE orange oval with the white filter is the correct one.

    A12 tires?

    No need to post pics - I believe you. A12s were special cars so why not have a different tire.

    A12 tires?

    We’re they 15” or 14” - my recollection was most of the b bodies back then came with 14” redlines. Don’t know why an a12 would be different

    The Six Pack

    Very cool and informative article. Thx for posting. I've always loved the a12 cars - in fact semi-cloned my GTX after one. It's nice to know all the hard facts.

    a12 lift off hood repair ?

    I have the original lift off on my GTX. Have had it for 46 years. Don't/haven't had the problem. Curious - what do you think caused it to sink lime that? I couldn't see any other way to even it out than build it back up with FBBO/resin. Interesting problem.

    What makes you think it's just got a lift off hood on it? Frankly I could post a Volkswagen on this thread if I wanted too. I love your "attitude"...

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    Wow - I wish I had the experience to do all these recommendations to my six pack myself. Unfortunately I don't. And my carbs are in need of a good tune. I was thinking of Promax which seems to get mentioned on this site a lot. But good info above... I hope.
