Cable Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hey guys, new member here. Did any of you happen to catch a price on one of those hoods? Any idea how good the quaility is? I bought a hood from Unlimited Products years ago for another car and the fittment wasn't the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 when I bought mine from JC whitney around 3 years ago, it was around $400 + ~$80 for shipping. quality, packaging for shipment (really the best packed hood i've ever seen), fitment, etc, were excellent. i have absolutely no complaints with this hood and that's why i want them for my next 2 projects.

nullbound Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 i called Legendary Cars just now and they apparently had a fire in their warehouse and had told JC Whitney that the hood was no longer available. the guy i spoke to says they still make this hood. the molds were not damaged for z's as they originally thought. the hood goes for $375 direct from Legendary cars. this is definitely a better price than JC Whitney.. i think last time i saw it in their catalog it was $475.

love-my-V8-280Z Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 If I'm able to buy a cowl hood from Dave anyone interested in buying mine? I just bought a 3" cowl hood and want a 2". I payed $200.00 and have put several hours into it so I can run it on my stock hinges. I only hope to get what I have into it...

love-my-V8-280Z Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 I emailed Dave and informed him I would like to buy a cowl hood. I stated that I just received one sent UPS for $140. Would he sell me one and how much? He sends a reply: $329 for the 2" cowl hood. Dave I don't get it? does he mean $329 to my door? I dont think so... What ever..... From what I have read I don't think I want to risk the hassle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZRNR Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Has anyone bought a hood direct from Legendary Cars Inc.? If yes, was the price $375 and how much was the shipping? Did it arrive in good shape? How was the quality and fit & finish? I test fit my stock hood and found that it will not quite close before it was on the air cleaner. I'm using one of those small triangle edelbrock air cleaners so a smaller air cleaner is not an option. I have a 78 hood so I have limited options with my current setup.

nullbound Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 the hood that i have on my car was bought from jc whitney, but is made and shipped directly by Legendary Cars. jc whitney does not keep these in their warehouses, which is why you have to pay the shipping at time of delivery. the fitment, packaging, etc are all very good. i cannot stress enough how well they package these hoods. when i placed the call mentioned above, the Legendary Cars rep. reported that the price was $375 direct from them + shipping. shipping should be on the order of ~$75 to atlanta. one might assume you could pay the shipping in advance, though, if ordering from legendary cars directly.

GAZRNR Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Thanks Ryan, I just got off the phone with Larry and ordered the hood. The process was quick & easy. Hood $375, packing $29, shipping to Atlanta $75-$95. It will ship in 3-4 weeks. Hope mine looks as good as yours! I'll post an update when the hood arrives. Anyone interested they will make your hood when payment is recieved and ship to where you live freight collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love-my-V8-280Z Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks, Ryan. I sure wish I could get one for less money. I can't bring myself to pay $500 for a hood.. Just to cheap I guess. i will admit, after the hours I have into the 3" used cowl I bought a couple hundred for a clean new one don't seem like such a bad idea.
