Custom hood?

does anyone have any info about this hood?



I've never seen a hood like this on ANY other car, so I'm interested in seeing how much it costs, and if they even make them anymore. seems like a rare hood

it's a cowl-induction hood, but it's got a little groove on the front, unlike most cowls I see.

the badge says "B&M" "FORCED INDUCTION" and under it is like "Turbocharged" or "Supercharged" (Or "Charger")
Can't remember off the top of my head.

it's on a 2nd Gen camaro, if it helps..

Yup! The L88 hoods were a dime a dozen back in the 70's. Its seems like everyone with a custom 2nd gen Camaro had one. Great if you're going for that retro-rod look.
