These kind of finds always beg the question-why was it taken off?!

I was told to make way for a fiberglass hood to shave some front end weight as the car was drag raced. But who really knows

Thank you for the welcome, so I cleaned the area to look for marks and got nothing,oh well still happy that it is a GM hood by the looks of these other indicators and for 300 bucks I am happy to be adding it to my project.

Thank you all so much, Good news is the rear corners are clipped just like the photos I have seen on this site, and the front bump stops have the 3 spot welds in a triangle pattern I am going to get some paint stipper and put in on the area where a stamp would be and see if it is hidden up the paint. I will report back. I have never been into the numbers matching stuff as my camaro was a plaine 6cly 3 speed car but it is very cool to find this stuff it is becoming alot of fun to search for this kind of stuff.

Hello from CT, Brand new member after finding this site while researching a recent purchase. I stumbled on this hood after a craigslist post looking for a gm cowl hood to buy. Guy told me it was taken off a 69 camaro pace car and stored since the 70's. I was wondering what you guys thought does this look like original paint/ over spray? I just read that there may be a marking on the rear driver side which I will look for when I go home. Any info would be great
Thank you,
Paul
