The Shelby scoop is the best on '65-'66s. Shaker scoops on '65-'66s make them look like '69-'70 wannabes, IMO.------------------

It's just such a small scoop Steve. 
The cowl looks good too.How about the 67 shelby scoop?------------------

Two things I dont like about the shelby scoop,one is every other Mustang I see has one.And the other besides looks they dont do much if anything.
Yes they do look good. Since I've added the Magnum 500 rims.My scoop just looks out of place. ------------------

I like the Shelby too. It is small, but it's the only one I think looks right. Anyone know where I can get a good one? I've been searching all over, and I can't decide where to get it. I looked at NPD, but they want like $490 or thereabouts for the steel edged version, which is probably what I should get since it'll be a driver. I just can't decide if I want to lay out that much green. I'll have paint to do after that. I saw a few on E-bay, but a lot of those are unfinished underneath, and my standards are too high for those. They'd be good racing hoods, but that's not where I'm headed.Decisions, decisions.....

The shelby scoop looks the best, but it isn't very functional. Our'66 has run 10.60 thru it, but it could be faster if we had room for carb spacers and more cold air intake. The 3" cowl hood doesn't look bad at all on a 65/66, even though it's a chebbie look. For a race car I'd go with the cowl hood. SteveW

I saw two 65's at HAN this year.With tear drop scoops,they look good.But better on bigger cars IMHO.Steve I thought of you right after I typed the part about it not being very functional scoop.I wish I could only run a 10.60. 
I like the cowl look too.But my wife and kids don't like it at all. ------------------

My very humble opinion is this. A scoop must be functional, and its "beauty" depends on how well it functions. The better it functions, the more beautiful it is.
A scoop that doesn't function at all is, well, I won't go there 'cos some M&Mers might have them

Scoop, I often wondered the same thing, but when I saw a shaker on a early model it looked stubby. Shaker's are more square. The others which are rectangular, are IMHO better proportioned to the long hood/short deck ponycar look. Now your 429 Boss scoop is just amazing. It makes your car look like a HotWheels or like something out of Cartoon comics. If you want a change from your Boss scoop, the 70's Comet GT's had a scoop that appeared to be as long and wide, just lower. It may be a nice alternative, otherwise I think you should go BIGGER Charlie

I like the tear drop, which explains why its on my 66 Fastback. I suppose its from seeing the old factory Galaxies, Fairlanes, Falcons, and Mustangs in the 60s. The only problem is that hot air comes out the back of the scoop openings and will get sucked right into the cowl vent if the interior floor vents are opened. You wouldn't need a heater in the winter. I suppose the brand-X cowl style hoods would havve the same problem.------------------

I like stock hoods for the sleeper look, although of course the 68 like mine has little vents and turn signals anyway.But for a scoop I like the 69 scoop, and the ram air hoods that people sell look cool too. On a hot day my car looses a lot of power if it gets hot under the hood, the ram air hoods would help me out a lot. With a fancy hood everyone would want to race me all the time and Im not into that (mostly because I know even ricers could beat my ride). ------------------

I'm kinda partial to the Hilborn four holers.  If the Shelby scoop didn't look so darn good, nobody would be using it. Teardrops are a reminder of an era that will never be equaled. Tracy

There are some factory items that just can't be made better.
Case in point: the factory side mirrors Ford made for 1961-1966 F-100's. They are now being re-popped with 1953 part numbers because they look so good and EVERYBODY uses them on 1953-1956, 1957-1960 and 1961-1966 F-100's for which they were designed.Tracy ------------------

Scoop check out http://home.swbell/dablbdab/CometGT.html
That's the scoop. I put one on a '69 Galaxie Sports Roof with a 390-4V and it was subtle-cool. If that doesn't float your boat, I think the '69 Mach I non-shaker looks good on almost everything. It would probably even improve a Camaro Charlie

Steve the PR12 is a real classic looking mopar scoop.But I have to say I have always like the big 6pack scoop better,looks like the mopar version of the Boss scoop.
I've seen the PR12 on a Mustang it looked ok,but it just looks like a mopar.The other scoop is kinda like DanH scoop. ------------------
