I read somewhere that beeker hoods also fit 69 Barracudas. If so, which year/model? And do they fit perfect or do they need mods to fit right?
Yeah, I like the flat nose better. I wanted to put it on my front end, but my brothers and friends gave me holy hell saying I can’t cause “it’s a ‘69!”It’s the same hood but I think the latches might be different. I bolted one within the hood scoop on my brothers 68’ but the 68’ nose is flat so it was noticeable to us but in primer it took other people a while to notice the lump.
I had a '67 set on mine till I found a '69........but my brothers and friends gave me holy hell saying I can’t cause “it’s a ‘69!”
Lol, A beak hood is a little tougher than a flat hood to attach a six pack scoop to. But the inserts on the earlier would surely make it a bit more challenging.Ma mopar fell asleep when designing the 69 hood. 67/8 hoods were way better due to having inserts.....

I ended up taking 3 or 4 hoods to the scrap bin. I was contemplating doing an insert mod on a 69, but I'm horrific at welding lol.
Thanks Steve.
That '69 looks like it needs some hinge section repair. If I had time and mean I think I'd take ya' up on it. I'm strapped with the daughter's wedding coming up and other (med) issues. Don't feel the need to hold it for me.
