    The 97' registry states that car #004, & #0020 have one. In the text the registry also states: some early cars had a Falcon-type hood prop.
    1) Maybe some owners neglected to see the rarity and report this to the registrar if their car has one.
    2) The registry is dependant on owner input
    3) Possibly some cars might had had a prop rod installed at a later date, and, not be a Falcon-style
    4) Possibly some prop rods were removed and springs installed (homoginizing)

    I own #0036, and, no prop rod. Total? Probably very few.

    The only reason i asked was that i am doing an early car now and was looking for some old photos of an orig. 350 i had taken for reference. I thought i remebered it having a prop rod. I cant find the darn photos as of now.

    Opps thanks - forgot the claims of a few early cars. Still not convinced but I guess the possibility it there at this time
