Found a hood on EBay
Won it (only bidder) on Ebay Thursday night and picked it up Friday night. Seller said it'd been in the barn for 40+ years. It has some surface rust were someone had stripped the paint and one small nasty dent on the right front corner but over all I think it's worth the $100 I paid for it and the half a tank of gas it took to go get it.
Just surface rust I have the brace that's missing in the photo Only dent that I've found. Might be starting to rust through just under the emblem. The other 2 hoods I own have gaping holes in this area. No rust in the corners of the hood

Re: Found a hood on EBay
That's great, and a good price too. In my area those early hoods and nearly impossible to find in any condition worth buying.

Re: Found a hood on EBay
Nice Score!!! Like markeb01 said they are nearly impossible to find here too! I've always liked the eyebrows on those hoods!

Re: Found a hood on EBay
Nice find!
I just found one too for $100 with the same dent ( not as bad ) and another not so bad dent on top of the eyebrow.Same rust coming through in the center under the emblem too. Is that one a 61 hood? |
