Selling the Ram Air 400 hood with emblems that came off my 1968 Firebird. I decided to put on the stock style hood on and do not need this one.

It did not fit great on my car, had a slight upward bow to it so it likely needs to be adjusted to fit another car.

It is in good shape, was repainted a few years ago.

$250 OBO, local pickup only

Maybe it didn't fit because it's not a ram air hood.

Looks like a RA hood to me. Maybe you mean its not a T/A hood?

No, he means that it is more accurately just a "400" style twin scoop hood offered as part of the "400 Sport" package.

He is just trying to correct another one of those common Pontiac errors (like 400 Big Block engines).

All the the hoods were shipped from the factory as "400" hoods. A small number where acutally converted by the dealers into Ram Air hoods at the dealership by changing out the closed scoops and installing the upper and lower air cleaner pans.

Thus there is a misconception out there that the twin scoops hoods are all "Ram Air" hoods.

I was under the impression that the RA hood is a regular 400 hood that later (at dealer??) got the inner panel (and scoop grills) cut out and an upper baffle panel installed. Maybe it's the picture but it looks like the upper baffle panel is gone on that one and some kind of a patch screwed back in.

It looks like it should fit any '68.

Thanks for the thread hijack guys, simple mistake.

If you are not interested in the hood please dont post in the thread.

I'm not interested in buying it, just trying to help you advertise more closely what it is you're trying to sell. You're selling a 400 hood NOT a Ram Air hood. If you advertise something that you don't have I will correct you every time. If you don't like it go advertise it on a camaro site where they do it all the time.
Just sayin.

Its a 400 hood...and they fit all years...with exception of receiver for the latch which is different on 67...
if it doesnt "fit" right...its usually the fenders that are 'off'...fenders and hoods were matched in production...tools for stamping out these wear after time and metal stamped changes slightly over time of use...(this is why often 'new' Chinese sheet metal doesnt fit right...I hear they bought old presses that are worn ,and fit is not the same)

on my 69 the hood fits fine (came from another car , also 69 ,as it was likely a commanche car hood)with the fender on my passengers side , but has a different 'bow' on drivers side vs fender , (which was replaceed by prev owner at some point.

Thanks for everyone trying to help me sell the hood.....looks like a team effort now.

Is this an oem hood or an aftermarket hood? Thanks.

The thing is they did make a ram air hood this just doesn't happen to be one.
Price and condition seems to be a good deal for this 400 hood if you could pick it up.

Jim got it right. They did not make a specific ram air hood, they were all 400 hoods with the pans, foam, and open scoops in the trunk. Dealers were instructed to add these and do a little trimming of the under hood bracing which was usually a cobbled up job done with tin snips. It is not even actually required, it just seals the pan better with the trimming done.
But to suggest that’s why it doesn’t fit is ridiculous. And really, that’s like saying a rally II wheel with a trim ring is not the same wheel as a rally II wheel without a trim ring and maybe that’s why it doesn’t fit your car. LOL Robert just doesn’t like it called a Ram Air hood, which to him suggest that you are selling it as an original hood from an original Ram Air car.
Good luck with the sale, I think it’s a great deal for the hood.

Still waiting for an answer on this one... Looks aftermarket at first glance.

Maybe in 68 they weren't made specifically for ram air cars but I believe they were in 69. They retooled for the mods required and I think they deleted the hood emblems. Stealthbird would be the one to know for sure. I think he listed that information in one of his articles. All the TAs in 69 were ram air cars and there was no trimming required by dealers after delivery.
I realise that to some it's splitting hairs but the difference in value between a hood off a RA car or one from a std 400 car could be alot. Look at the value of each car. Std 400 $10K--RA car $150K(or more). I would hate to see someone get sued over a mistake.

I believe it is an aftermarket.

still a good price.

Bump, willing to entertain offers.

SOLD!!!
