Jackie Coogan, WW2 vet, the original Uncle Fester actor... had Barris make his LTD better
When the U.S. entered World War II as a result of the Pearl Harbor attack, Coogan requested transfer to the AAF as a glider pilot because of his civilian flying experience. He was sent to glider school at Lubbock, Texas, and Twentynine Palms, Calif. Upon graduation, he was made a Flight Officer. He then volunteered for hazardous duty with the 1st Air Commando Group being formed by the famous Col. Phil Cochran. In December 1943, the unit was sent to India where, using Waco CG-4A gliders, it airlifted crack British troops under Gen. Orde Wingate during the night aerial invasion of Burma (March 5, 1944), landing them in a small jungle clearing 100 miles behind Japanese lines. Coogan returned to the United States in May 1944 and was discharged in December. 1945.

variations in the way the 440 six pack hood have been built (factory fiber glass option in 1969, when buying a race car was legit from a dealership)
obviously these are not all Mopar made.
I bought one from Year One and put it on my Super Bee in 1996. I loved that lift off hood, and will get one for my 69 R/T probably next year or the year after that

looks like a shifter boot mounted in the driver side air box... so far, I've only found that is a relief area to allow the brake master cylinder on a 69 and 70 Hemi Coronet to not hit the air box (thank you Brett!)
I've got a 69 R/T, and it's got some weird funky drivers side replacement air box, so now every time I look at another N96 equipped 69 Coronet, I am wondering if I'm going to see the usual, or something weird

David's Duster... very cool

London-Sydney Marathon 1968 had some interesting cars, and they had some interesting mods to the hoods and lighting, and terrific kangaroo bouncers
That's a hell of a lot of air dam
Crazy hood scoop trifecta

this was why in the 80s the country was all saying "don't do drugs, drugs are bad" well... this happened, and I'm sure the drugs caused it
the hood pins can be excused, but the rims? Those horrible hood scoops?
Keep them kids in school and away from the drugs!
