Default Anyone seen Bonnet Scoops XA-XC on XR-XY

For decades it has been popular to install the typical XYGT Shaker scoop on XA-XC (& later Fords), but apart from the links here, is anyone aware of the NASA scoops from the XA XB XC put on XR-XY Fords? Be good to see some

Yeah I've seen a few on XD/XE/XF which look all right because they fit the contour of the bonnet nicely.

I've also seen them on Commodores (as in, the Ford NACA scoops from Mustang/XB/XC, not the Holden NACA scoops from the Monaro) which is a bit wtf. I believe I also saw Ford NACA scoops on a Hilux once but I can't be sure as I was driving past and couldn't get a good look.

IIRC It was done a number of times during the custom craze in the late 70's early 80's. Even the odd EH, HQ Holden's had them etc. Maybe look for some old custom magazines for pics though.

Maybe it's time for flutes to reappear!

Just found this late model Ford with XB XC NACA Scoops. Still can't find more XR-XY with the XA-XC scoops.
