Probably is. Look for date codes on the under side near the outer edge, month (number), day (number), shift (number) and plant (a letter?).

Are the front edge trim mounting holes there?

Can't see them in the picture

It looks like a '66 Hood to me since it has the (4) Front Crash Support Indentations that the '64 1/2 and the '65 Hoods don't have.  I don't know when (exact dates) that the changeover happened for all the plants to supply the '66 Front Crash Support Indentation Hoods... I don't know if it was a running change, or if it just started with all '66 Cars.  Maybe Jeff and Charles can shed some light... But that looks like a '66 Hood alright just by looking at the top support section..
