Sure does.

Stephen is correct, that is the Cervini Ram Air hood. I have had one on my car since 1997. I like the way it looks and it wasn't a cowl.

Are the vents functional ? do they come with ducting ? That hood looks nice on your ride.

All Cervinis hoods are functional. They are some of the best when it comes to hoods, especially when in relation to fiberglass. You will pay alot for them, but you get what you pay for.

Thank you!

Mine are functional in that they are open and air passes through them. They are not connected to any air box or filter as mine is a carb car. I believe they (Cervini) later made them fully functional (with ducting) and able to connect ram air ducting up IIRC, but that was a couple years after I bought mine.

Re: Does this hood exist ?

One of the guys over on 3rdGen.org has that hood on his car!

Car looks Suh-weet!
That hood, a clean paint job and a set of 2001 SS 10-spoke wheels make for a killer combination!

That is a completely different design & not a Cervini's hood.

As for "Car looks Suh-weet!".......

Momma always told me, If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. So I'm not going to say anything about that white Camaro's looks.

To each their own man. No jabs here. If that is the hood you like run it. I have had plenty of people over the years come up and tell me the hood looks like crap on my car. So be it, my feelings don't get hurt that easy.

On the other hand, have you put an add in the classifieds? What are you asking... all that. Bet it sells as long as you are sane about an asking price.
