I know a guy who has one cut like that on his A12 Superbee. It's always been on the car and was that way when he got the car back when he was in high school. Doesn't make one bit of sense why it was cut, but it was.
Chasing bears through the woods drunk with a dull hatchet is strongly not advised

I believe these were used on a 70 challenger 440+6 car with the n94 option (T/A hood) when it was substituted for a shaker. They probably made a bunch but, as we now know only a few challengers did come this way. I`ve seen one like that years ago on a original car. Not the orig owner of the car though.
The cut version being discussed here was never used on an N94 Challenger 440-6. Original blueprints exist that prove so. Since the A12 air cleaner was one piece stamping( not counting the drain corners and extra tubes ) Fram, Chrysler's air cleaner supplier, would then have had to trim the whole excess lip area and discard it. Cant see the wasted time and material for that ever happening. The N94 was never 'substituted for a shaker'...N94 was an option just like N96.

There's a long thread on the N94 non-T/A Challengers now in this forum. The Chrysler parts book lists the N94 440 six pack air cleaner as the same number as the T/A 340 six pack air cleaner.

I have never listed this one anywhere that I picked with lid a couple years ago. It is like yours but definately a cut piece, not hacked but cut nice. I'm sure they were never offered by Chrysler like this.
I've owned two like this both had the wide lip top and the cut bottom. The cuts on the bottom were rough and unfinished. One was bought in Oklahoma the other in Arizona so I bet they came from the same source.
