I bought an Edelbrock 2186 a few weeks ago from a guy in Shreveport that was from Austin, Tx. where he used to own a repair shop. He told me there was a brand new fiberglass hood in his old shop that he figured the current owner would sell. I was going to be in Austin the next week so I went by and checked it out and the hood is there. I could not find a good way to get it home to Alabama or I would have bought it. Had it been a '68 model rather than a '69 model I would have bought it anyway and paid FedX. No matter, if anyone is interested in the hood and is in the Austin area the shop is Read's Auto Repair on the west side of Austin, about 15 miles out going out 290 on the right hand side of the road. I want to say it was like the Oak Hills area. Just so you know, the hood has been in this shop some 20 years and the label sticker from the manufacture is still on it. The owner of the shop said he would take $50 for the hood. If the guy asked, tell him you heard it from the Alabama guy that was in there a couple of weeks ago.
Hope someone can make use of it, sure seems like a good price for a new hood.
