Think you know your cars? Then try the below automotive puzzle highlighting the hoods of vehicles that are currently listed on AutoHunter.
Perhaps we associate engine air intakes with the muscle car era, but they were not uncommon in the 1950s, as evidenced by the Ford Thunderbird and others. When it comes to drag racing and factory offerings, it seems the 1961 Super Duty Pontiac was the first to air induction. Would you believe it was a Ford truck scoop given a Pontiac part number? Racer Arnie Beswick is the one who initiated the whole thing. Pontiac also was the first to bring air induction to the street with an accessory system for Tri-Power GTOs.
Not all the below scoops are functional, but give them your best and posted your answers in the comments section below. Then click on each image to learn whether you guessed correctly. Have fun!

#2 looks like a ’66 or ’67 GTO, #3 is a ’77(?) Camaro, and #4 is a ’68 or ’69 Chevelle.
…where’s the hood scoops on the ’68 Pontiac GTO ? …where is that beauty from my Challenger ?
There is no 1968 GTO….
Red Camaro, Black GTO–66 or 67, Black and Gold Camaro and a red Chevelle SS.
Lead in drawing is a 69 Roadrunner 440-6 barrel. That’s a red 97 Camaro SS (anniversary edition from the paint job). Black GTO hood, hood scoop was the same from 65-67. Having trouble pinning down the year on the third one around 92 or so, Camaro for sure though. Last one is from a 68 or 69 Chevelle SS 396.

Z28, GTO, Chevelle, Z28
I knew that two of them were for Camaro’s, but since I only owned one Camaro in my lifetime, a ’92 Anniversary Edition, I couldn’t get the years correct. I got the ’68 Chevelle correct. I should have gotten the ’65 GTO correct because my neighbor of 20 years and an old-car buff had a perfect ’65 convertible for several years… I guess the bad paint threw me.
