Default What kind of hood did I just buy??

I just got home from picking up a hood I found on craigslist. It is a fiberglass cowl hood with a SS scoop. Almost looks like a Sunoco hood with the manta on top.

Thats what I thought until I compared the two hoods. On the VFN 3" SS the manta is the cowl scoop. On mine the manta is on top on the cowl scoop.

It was on the seller's 1998 Camaro when I arrived at his house to pick it up. I was surprised with how well it fit.

Cut the scoop out of it and glass the top so its a cowl, that thing just looks weird as hell.

The SVO is a mustang model btw

There's one of them around me, def not the vfn. I wouldn't say its the best looking hood. Looks like one of the hoods they make for the 99-04 mustangs.

Looks confused. Up until now I thought only Fords had the ultra scooped cowl hoods.

Needs some extractors too for the trifecta.
