As far as 68 Camaro with cowl hood...
I understand that there was exactly ONE 68 built with the cowl hood...
And it was a GM demo/display car...

Fact or fiction...

And cowl hoods on 69s was not as many as one would think percentage wise...
Pace cars, COPOs, SOME Z-28, and SOME SS cars...?

Also as far as weight goes...
The SS hood and cowl hood have to weigh near the same as they both use the same hoodhinge spring and the flat hoods used a lighter spring...
And I have no idea about actual weights either...

And at one time didn't you have to run the correct SS hood for the year model?...
Seems I remember they used to be picky about trim and emblems...
