I've attached a photo of my '69 4-spd prior to it's trip to it's trip to (the great unknown we all know as) the body shop. My question is this:
Could hood lock-pins be added as a factory option to any car, and did they come as part of a 351 performance package?
There was no doubt in mind they were factory on my car until discussing the issue w/ the owner of a nicely restored '69 Eliminator yesterday at Carlisle. He was adamant that they were only available on the 428 Eliminators, and NEVER on a mere 351. Anyone know the deal? I'm waiting on an "Eminger Report" to find out for sure, but I think the pins might have come along with one of the "351" hood stripes.
Tell me what you know!
