If you are referring to the ram air style hhod thatis found on many 71-73 sportsroof mustangs then yes it is a straight bolt on. I am assuming the coupe in your avatar is a picture of your car. I have a 72 grande(coupe) that came with the ram air hood. These are available from cj pony parts (www.cjponyparst.com) for about $300 new, and sometimes you can find them on ebay. I plan on replacing mine, when I start the body work, it is rusting on the inside, and one of the po's installed crappy after market hood pins improperly.

If you have the money ($200+)(hood pins and misc. required mtg. brackets), I'd suggest going for the original style twist-on hood pins. The original latch is still used in conjunction with the hood pins.
