71 Hood/Air Cleaner Custom?

Does anyone know what hood/air cleaner set up is on this 1971 coupe? Looks like it eliminated the wiper door and provides cold air intake? Anyone know who sells this?

Appears to be a stock 1973-1974

Looks like a 73 or 74 hood and air cleaner. Not a 75 air cleaner, doesn't have the flat in the rear to clear the HEI.

Nice looking set up. What about that cold air induction set up? Did 73-74 come with that air cleaner set up? Looks kinda like what they had on 69 Camaros?

Ya, 73-75 had that set up, the hood has an electric operated air door that would open at wide open throttle.

I thought the 68-72 hood was different from the 73-82, not just the length but also the fender alignment.

From what i have been researching it's not a straight out swap as the fenders don't line up and some fiberglass work has to be done.
