Which models had aluminum hood?
Which years and models came from the factory with the n/a aluminum hood?
|
search noob.........
|
Haha, thats awsome
TII's, gtus? |
Not sure on the others but all verts have an Alum hood.
|
My 87.5 sport has a Aluminum hood. I think all sports do.
|
My '86 base has one.
Summary: It's all fuquered up. |
Alum hoods were only standard on Verts and the 89-90 GTUs.
They were commonly found on 86 models with auto trannys or 4 seats (for weight reasons), and most turbos (but not all). They also were randomly found on some Sports, and 88 GTU models but with no rhyme or reason. |

Magnet will confirm it if you're unsure. |

Using a magnet is a quick way to find out ;)

[QUOTE=Icemark]No, only on base models with either 4 seats, or auto trannies.

My 86 (base, 5-speed, 2-seats, zero options) has an AL hood.
|
lol......im sure that some cars slipped through the books w/ the wrong hood in place....
|
my 88 se has steel and my 88 vert has alluminum, it was just an option to have ..
|
First time I opened the hood on my GTUs I was like WTF that's too heavy to be aluminum. Quick check with a magnet proved me wrong though.
|
Haha, have you ever had to lift the steel hoods? Let alone try to move them on your own?
|
so whats the official answer?
|
The official answer is: There is no official answer.
|
I am glad someone cleared that up lol
