Early cars were fitted with a spring that didn't properly release the hood - this was the subject of an unpublished, and therefore, relatively unknown service bulletin. A new spring (Part #110279) was issued and fitted on most of the later cars. It can be easily fitted to any car. Available from any of the vendors for less than $3, I believe.
