Camaro 1984 with plastic hood

Hello dear friend
I found camaro 1984 Z28 with V8 5.0 (L69 or LG4, i do not know) and this camaro has PLASTIC HOOD. Is it possible, that it could be stock hood?

Yes, the first few years of Z28's got a very heavy plastic hood.

It's stock. Fairly common in 82-83, GM got away from them because they like to come apart at high speeds. They recalled them at one point.

Re: Camaro 1984 with plastic hood

Is this different from the Sheet Metal Compound (SMC) hood used in early Z28s?

Re: Camaro 1984 with plastic hood

The M is for Molded. The C can be compound or composite. Either way, call it SMC, Fiberglass, Plastic, it's the hood being discussed, just different terms. GM would say SMC.
