Default 79 hood will it fit???

OK, I found a hood that I like for sale on craigslist that I like for only $50!!!! I need help figuring out if it will fit my 74 Corvette? I've looked on catalogs and the hoods that they have for corvettes say that they will fit 74-79 corvettes or something like that, I'm just trying to make sure it will fit my 74 so that I won't waste my money on something that wont fit. Thank you

Never mind, I saw some more pics of the hood and it turned out that it's in real bad conditions.
