Rally dash was optional on cudas yet standard on Challenger R/Ts. I've always wondered why that was. The Dodge line was higher priced than the Plymouth line, so more goodies as standard equipment.

All true--yet time has treated the 'Cuda favorably vis-a-vis the Challenger! (that oughtta get someone's BVD's in a bunch)

Rally dash was optional on cudas yet standard on Challenger R/Ts. I've always wondered why that was. Challenger T/As were not R/Ts so rally dashes were optional on them also. AARs and T/As usually didn't get built with many options, so it is common to see them without rally dashes. Ma did a lot of things that made little sense.

You can also ask why Challengers are two inches longer than a Cuda. Dodge and Plymouth were really two different companies back in the 60s and 70s.

I've seen a lot of them with standard dashes. All I can figure is a typically younger buyer (and less affluent) than other 'Cuda buyers??? I was under the impression that AARs & T/As were not ordered/ optioned by customers, and that one just had to pick what the dealers were sent. Is this correct?

Shaker is a sportier younger go fast type item. That's a Plymouth target buyer.
The Shaker was an option except the Hemi Cuda for four barrel E Bodies. Why did DODGE offer another performance hood that was not offered on a Plymouth, a TA Hood on a Challenger for almost a year Starting in the spring of 1970 and ending in the fall of 1971.
