Yes, they do - wraps around the corners to be about even with the hood pins, and 67's have pushpins inside the ends of the weatherstrip that go into holes drilled in the side of the inner panel.

'63-'64 go across the back edge of the hood only and terminate about the latch pins while the '65-'67 wrap the corners and then stop at the latch pins as John described.

Thanks,
My 66 has never had one since I owned the car.The car is being painted and new weather stripping is going in on the whole car. I saw a '67 with the hood up last week and noticed that weather strip.

I'm doing the last bit of assembly on my 2 year body off project. I was just sizing up the rear hood seal, noticing it is very long. Long enough to go around both corners and about a foot down the sides. Though I took about 300 pictures during dis-assembly, I neglected to take one of the rear seal.
I've built by the book so far, and am looking for originality.
Is your advise founded?
Thanks, Clint

Just becaused you go to the bank or give a couple of amens or Hail Mary's doesn't mean you know what you're talking about.
I think you can rest assured that if I've given wrong advice, there'll be some smiling eyes come forward to let us all know.I have a '63 with original rubber and glue, friend has the same and another friend has a '64, all the same. They go across just the back. I also have a '65, same originality and it wraps the corners as John described. The '67's are pinned as the '65/'66 tended to pull away from the glue and stick out. I have no idea what a NCRS judging manual says.
If you bought a new rubber, it's a replacement that is made to fit a C-3 "as is" and for a mid-year by trimming to length.
I see by your profile your car is silver. Mine's red but I'd kill for silver.

Originality is what the factory workers did on the assembly line, not necessarily what the AIM and ECLs indicated. If you are asking for a great amen to get you through judging with NCRS or BG, IMO you should consult their rule book (JG or web site in the case of NCRS).
What original cars look like and what the judging rules require are not always the same.
