Alright here it is. I will sell the Ecklers hood long or short for 502.00. They retail for 550.00. The frieght is kind of pricy though, 87.00.
If i can get more people i can lower the price more. Keep in mind though that i am not setup to accept credit cards yet. Will paying by money order be a problem?

no airbox. But they are available. I think the price on them is around 118.00. I will try to get them to you guy's at whatever my cost is if you buy a hood from me. I will confirm the price when i get home from work tonight.

I am sure you can, but remember this, you get what you pay for. Ecklers is a good quality piece thats fits. At least the one's i have used did.

Is the Ecklers hood a "direct bolt on" meaning do I just trnafer my latches and such or is there more to it than than. I'm trying to figure a total cost for installation.

Thanks. :thumbs:

Yep, all factory provisions mount right up. It's very simple.

$502 is a good price for an Eckler's hood. I also paid about $100 for shipping. Supposedly Eckler's bought the original hood molds from GM.

I don't want to sound like a sales man here, but there are some crap hoods out there. I have accounts at some of these other places that are being mentioned. I don't even want to offer them to you guys because the fit and finish is so bad. The ecklers hood is the best quality you will find. Like i said in my other post you get what you pay for.

I have the Eckler's long L88 hood for the pre-73 cars on my '70. The fit is as good as can be expected given build variations of our cars. The finish of the part itself is great and all hardware bolts right up. I've seen some of the crappy hoods and this one is far superior.
