Hot Rods Super rare hood scoop

I've only seen this larger sized plexiglass hood scoop a few times, talk about a rare vintage part, perfecto!!

 

that plexi is so clear I cant see it

 

I think that might be one of those cow induction scoops I keep hearing about.

 

What army is inducting cows now?

 

The Moo-rines?

(Intending NO disrespect of the U.S.M.C.!)

 

But where does a rare hood scoop find rare air to scoop?

 

Bet they had clear valve covers... How could you Not... Cap as well

 

I remember seeing clear distributor caps!

 

That's just there to let the heat out of the hood....not suck up cows...

 

Great now I'm goin to get a cheese burger haha!

 

I think I see a pattern here that most of the comments are suggesting " 'rare' don't mean valuable".

 

Someone's reproducing..
I swear I saw a bright green one on a tri five gasser

 

Rare air? No.
Rare Earth? Yes.

 

Yeah. Not that rare. They're still available and reasonably priced at Home Depot.

 

Never mind the jerks. That scoop is COOL.

 

I prefer a hood scoop that is well done, I don’t care for rare!

 

It could scoop a rare hood... as it's title claims

 

I was going to reply to this thread, but everybody else scooped up the good answers!

 

Any other info on the car ?
Are you looking for a scoop like this ?

If I had to guess, they cut the scoop down from something else.

Couple car shows where guys have remade bubble tops for customs - the best one I've seen to show the process was Ian Rousell Full Custom Garage. The overall size isn't bad, the depth would be challenging to do without getting too many distortion waves in the plexi.

 

The car is just a random pic on pinterest, I would like to find a vintage scoop like this or make one

 

My guess would be a clear cover for a fire extinguisher as seen in shopping malls and at gas stations or even in hospitals . You walk past them all the time but never notice.

 

You might be on to something. I couldn't match it exactly in a search, though. This one is close, or could be if judiciously cut, but it would only be 5" tall:

When I was in high school back in the late 70' s a classmate had a 66 Mustang with a clear scoop like that. It was cool seeing the two Holley 4 bbls on the tunnel ram underneath.

On the right era car one might look good.

 

I seen these for sale recently

 

This guy was selling on ebay but is no longer on there. Do you know if he is still selling these and have contact info if so?

 

If you think you can fool anyone into believing that scoop is cool, think again. They will see right through it....

 

whats the scoop on the scoop....couldnt help myself...

 

They do make valve covers with tops that are visible so you can see thru them.

 

These old HAMB ads have good pics....
