Does anyone know if either scoop would bolt on to a 1965 Mustang? Would it fit good? I think the Mach 1 scoop would look better what do you guys thing? thanks

The Mach I hood scoop is probably the best looking scoop of all time {that is strictly an opinion} I know they fit 'cause I've seen them installed on 65-66. I don't know how the bolt studs line up with the ribs on the backside of the hood. The 65-66 Shelby scoop also looks great. NPD has the repo sccop exactly as original. Be sure to get the hard rubber barrier that fits behind the opening. If air get trapped in the scoop at high speed, it can rip the scoop up.M&Fords or MMonthly recently did an install article on that scoop and they mentioned the barrier as a must.
