'66-'67 Fairlane 427: One of the Rarest, Most Powerful Muscle Cars of Its Era. ... The features that gave it away were the fiberglass hood adorned with a functional scoop and a dash-mounted tach.

That's DuPont Raven Black urethane. We like the 427 Fairlane fiberglass hood with the ram-air scoop. Beneath the fiberglass is a 427ci FE big-block with a N.O.S. medium riser intake.
