Air Grabber

The 1970 Plymouth GTX muscle car featured an "Air Grabber" hood scoop which was opened by a remote control switch activated by the driver. It came standard with shark decals on each side of the scoop - just the thing to psych out the competition at stoplights!
It really was called that? How fun.

Cool looking shark. Is it some kind of drag reduction thingy? Trying to work out what it would be for...

Interesting... I've never heard or seen one before. I was only 1 year old in 1970 though. Haha.

@fueast Alison, it is a hood scoop which allows cold air to be forced directly into the engine's carburetor, increasing horsepower. Hood scoops were very popular during the muscle car era of the mid 1960's through the early 1970's.

@soboy5 Ah I see - some kind of old school turbocharging maybe.
