Hoods Click here to Jump to year. 1965 - 1966 - 1967 - 1968 - 1969 - 1970 The first 65 Shelby's came with an all fiberglass hood with a round hole plenum or nicknamed "Port Hole" (Car # 001-113)
Hood-one piece fiberglass with integral scoop, held closed by two racing. type klik-pins (Car # 113-500)
The 1965 GT350 also came with a steel frame inner structure fiberglass hood that was introduced early on #122 or so and used intermittently through out production ( a better hood, but apparently harder to get) Hood-one piece fiberglass with integral scoop; held closed by two racing-type klik-pins;
Also a Steel Framed Fiberglass hood was used as well.
Some later cars used steel hoods with steel scoop and stock Mustang latching mechanism
Early Cars received a Metal Framed Fiberglass hood (And Trunk lid as well) There are louvered hoods, mostly came on AC equipped cars. The Original Fiberglass hoods have a "glassed" in Metal insert for the latch to attach.
