Which models had aluminum hood?
Which years and models came from the factory with the n/a aluminum hood?

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.

90% of the base models I have seen do not have them.
