There doesn't appear to be any definitive list online.

What I've found so far. And I'm sure this list is basically the cars that actually CAME with hood pins. For example I'm sure the 13" lanyards would fit all Duster and Dart Sports to 76.

6" black rubber coated - For 69-1/2" A12 lift-off hood cars.
Important Notes: The rivets in the hood pin bezels are at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock as you look at any given bezel from the front of the hood. All the lanyards are on the inside rivets.

13" 70-72(76) Duster, 71-72 Scamp
(13" Duster factory lanyard length verified)

18" 70-74 Challenger (assuming TA also), 70-72 (76) Dart, 71-72 Demon? 69 Daytona (per Moparts member Daytona)
3586156 - TA Hood pin kit

23" 70-74 Barracuda (assuming AAR also), 70 B Bodies, 70 Superbird (per Moparts member DAYCLONA)

25" 68-69 & 71-74 B Bodies

23" is the "norm" for the wingcars, 25" is what the aftermarket has assigned to them...


But to add even more pot stirring, here's an early road test photo from back in the day of a 69 Daytona hoodpin lanyard...

Interesting thread. Being curious, I went out and measured the AAR and I came up with 26" eyelet to eyelet. They look ancient but I guess they got changed at some point in the 70's?

Daytona's were originally 18" long.

If you want your list to be as accurate as possible...

Hood pins were only available on E-bodies in 70-71. twocents

G-series option report says 795 1971 Plymouth GTX's left the factory with hood pins installed...


Or a little over 29% of production...

Burdar was disqualifying 72-4 E bodies from the list... not "other" models

Correct. No hood pins on 72-74 E-bodies.

I do understand that hood pins weren't factory for the later models BUT if they wanted to add them then I'd like the info in the list to be correct. Thanks.
