Does any one have a clue how this was done or if it is a kit and where to get it. I have seen too many pics of the same type of hood so I think it might be a kit. Any info would be helpful.

It's a modified Buick LeSabre hood latch / hinge system

I think around 1983 Buick LeSabre

Close - I think it is a 1986-1991 or so hood hinge kit. Hit the salvage yards

I had an 89 Buick that had one like that. Corvettes have them as well.

Auto loc sells a kit. It says in the add they start at $199. But I would just get those Buick hindges.
