What is this hood?

I've been lookin around and haven't been able to find it on any other camaro, so I don't think it's original on my '86. It looks very similar to the original ones, but the depth of the indentions and the "vent" things shouldn't be there.

Yes, that is an 82-83 Z28 hood from a Crossfire injection car. That's the only thing they ever came on.

Re: What is this hood?

That's a 1982-83 fiberglass Z28 hood, but it looks like the one for the carbed engine, without functional flaps. There should be cosmetic inserts made of an aluminum-based alloy bolted in the recesses, just like you see on mine:
