My dad got one from the Nickey dealership in Chicago. 69 SS 396 Kelly green...and that is the exact hood on it. First car I ever drove.
Cowl induction high rise hood came later.
For the record... there was a different hood louver but I've only seen them on 327 67's.

the thing with 1969 camaros, everyone thinks they are a expert on them. People forget, the run was so long that so many things changed thru the long time they were made. They only remember a small time frame of the long production time and are assuming everything stayed as was, for the time frame they remember.

[@keithcolvin8063]

The SS 350 hoods had the hood fin accents. The big blocks had the hood stacks. The small blocks had the hood fin accents making actually 4 different hoods.

[@D.W.e.s.t.]

Coincidentally I learned about ss hoods yesterday. Didn't know about the cowl hood tho.
Vertical louvers were 68 if I heard right.
I need to know what era hood clears a 454 air cleaner

[@michaelmorley1838]

The Camaro in the cousins picture with the vette was a 68

[@johnpena9165]

You are 100% correct the louvered hood was standard equipped on all 1st gen SS Camaros in 1969 you could get the ZL2 "cowl induction" hood which was an option on any Camaro !

[@frphxkaboom3008]

mine had pins on a plain hood. it looked clean and stock to me this was in 71. I bought it used. it was an ss 396 4 speed Daytona yellow black vinyl top . so you are saying it was a custom hood.

[@4406bbldb]

I’d take it even without a hood. If I built my own this would be it.

[@doublek5583]

I just purchased a 1969 z-28 today and it has the same hood, I don't know if it belongs there or not

[@zapper302]

There is actually 2 different louvered hoods. The big block SS hood has 4 sections in each louver. The small block SS had 3 sections on each louver. There was also an under hood cowl induction option for 67-69 Z28s that drew air from the passenger side cowl. Had a 69 Z that I put the super scoop and sealing air cleaner on.

[@hansjensen7823]

You’re silly. All ice trays had 4 segments

[@zapper302]

@@hansjensen7823 I worked for a Chevrolet parts dept. in the 70s. I still have an old Camaro parts catalogue. I have all the Chevrolet specs and modifications done to the Z28s that was submitted to SCCA. I know 1st gen Camaros.

[@TheOriginalWendys]

Love the Camaro btw

[@michaelmorley1838]

That’s a 69 rs / ss hence the hidden headlights RS and the hood represents the SS

[@TheOriginalWendys]

Ayyy y’all have any unwanted corvettes it be my dream car specifically the 1970 and the new 2022

[@DreamGiveaway]

They are wanted, lol, however this year's Corvette Dream Giveaway grand prize has a 2022 that will be Lingenfelter Super Charged to 560hp; we also have a rare 71 in the Classic Corvette Dream Giveaway- see all the Vettes at www.dreamgiveaway.com

[@TheBrotherness]

Personaly, I dont care if its correct. For free? Im happy

[@bobagost3882]

The cowl hood want available until feb of 1969
Any Camaro made before
Feb didn't come with the cowl hood
Just saying

[@danielhackleman2140]

Had a 69 z/28 with a flat hood. Is that why or did z/28's always have a cowl hood ?

[@bluesmoke218]

@@danielhackleman2140not every z28 came with the cowl hood. I think the early build ones didn’t have one.
