I picked up a unicorn over the weekend!

So for years people have claimed GM never made aluminum hoods for the 78-80 Montes. Well, GM had Alcoa build a number of prototype hoods and GM decided to scrap them. But, a savvy worker at the time saved 5 from the scrap bin and had stored them for 30+ years. I now have one of those unicorns in my possession along with a set of GM specified low tension hood hinge springs for it. To my knowledge, only 5 such hoods exist.
