i was just wondering if the (flipper) hood was on all 1971 SS 454 chevelles, or was it optional?

The Super Sports came standard with just the raised hood. The door in the hood and the cowl induction system was optional.

RPO ZL2 was the code for the functional cowl induction ("flapper"). I believe stripes came with the ZL2 option whether you wanted them or not. They could be deleted on the standard SS domed hood.

Technically, the stripes weren't deleted on the standard SS hood since the stripes were a separate option. The stripes were included with the cowl induction option but SS cars with just the domed hood didn't get stripes unless they were specifically ordered.

You are correct Rich, I forgot that, I think it was RPO D88 "hood/deck stripes".
