First post i just bought a 76 280z that needs lots of work and will be my sons first car. getting ready to have the body work done and have a question will a 77 hood fit on a 76

Yes, a 77 hood should fit a 76 car with no problems. If my memory serves me right that's an update people do as later hoods came with vents while the older ones (like your 76, and mine for that matter) did not. It should bolt right up.
