Hi there i'm new at this so please bear with me if some times it takes a little longer to figure this out ( chatting on the form that is)
i just bought a 1972 demon that does not have a hood scoop and from searching the web i came across your conversations and by pure luck i guess i also was looking at a demon that looks very original but before reading all the comments i had not noticed that this original looking car does have as you say the fresh air holes in the hood.
i will try to attache the web page./www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/124384,11749,0,0/1972-Dodge-Dart-Demon_Photo.aspx
