Looking for All BB Hoods for a Muscle Car Tribute

[Rick Paris]

I am a retired show quality body and paint man, who has won many of the major car shows in America. I have been looking for all the OEM muscle car hoods of the 1960’s- and early 1970’s for the last 16 years. OEM only. I am restoring them all for an art installation where they will all be showcased. I want all the muscle cars to be represented in one viewing. These hoods are what inspired me to be a painter so long ago growing up with these beautiful cars. This is my contribution at the end of my career. I feel like it will be the ultimate Tribute to American Muscle. (so far I have 46 hoods) This show is my way of making sure that the beauty of that era will be saved forever, (as long as it can physically last, after a proper restoration). You would be contributing to this endeavor, if you were willing to ship them for me. This is my Opus. Thanks for your help!

Here is my list of wants

67 Belvedere (w/Large scoop)

67 Coronet R/T 440

68 Super Bee/Coronet69 Coronet Six Pack

69 Plymouth GTX

** 69 Barracuda scoops only

70-71 GTX

70 Coronet

I am looking to buy them, of course a donation would be great, I haven't found anyone who was willing to do that, I stopped asking. A fair price is fully appreciated.

I am currently not able to show you any pics, sorry about that. I agree I should have the 71 Charger R/T, superbee too. I do have the 70 Coronet Super Bee, the 71 GTX is on my list.

I don't see a 62-65 Max Wedge scoop on that list.

I do often find hoods that I have never known, that I have purchased after finding out about it, Do you have one?

All my hoods are in California, in my shop. My wife and I jumped to Texas for a few months without actually thinking we would stay before going back. We are having a baby in two weeks and we are staying here until late sept, as calif has mandatory vaccinations and we didn't want to have our baby there. We came to check it out, and just decided it was better to stay, sorry about the long explanation, I would be happy to post them then. Its pretty cool to see them all hanging on the walls just as they are too.

that is a very expensive endeavor you are on.
good luck with the hunt!
I know I have a easy 10k worth of hoods laying around for my projects
69 ram chargers/70,71 air grabbers/ couple of 69 lift offs/70 and 71 flats/69 bubble and couple of 71 rr/gtx, raisin bran hood and more
the stuff piles up after 30 years of buying parts.

That would be neat to have a wall of hoods.

What hoods do you have already? Since there are no pix to see for ourselves

I have a 1969 GTX N96 hood you can have for the cost of freight. I am awaiting my fiberglass six pack hood so I will have a crate to ship it once it arrives. Send me an message if you are interested. It is in good, rust free shape. It's been blasted, epoxied and painted and currently on my car.

At what age did you retire ?!?!?!

 

[Mike67]

That would make a cool calendar too!!!....
Maybe recoup some of your investment...

 

[Cranky]

At what age did you retire ?!?!?!

My thought exactly! I retired somewhat early too (55) and having a baby at that point wasn't EVEN on my mind LOL

i can see someone retiring early from doing bodywork and getting into something else.
there are much easier ways to make a buck..
