Has anyone seen a documented original `70 cuda 383 born with a factory shaker hood ? I have had several "Mopar experts" that tell me "none of the 383 cuda's were allowed the shaker option" stating that in 1970 the shakers available to the Plymouth dealers were reserved for only the Hemicuda & 440-6 cudas. I have personally seen one 70 cuda 340 #'s matching documented shaker hood car. So I was wondering if any 383 cuda guys checked off the order form for the N96 option and their 383cuda was built with a shaker ? thanks Doug. ( dougandcindy@sympatico.ca )

That would be very rare - a factory screw-up. You were NOT supposed to be able to order shakers on Cudas & Challengers with the 340 & 383 until 71. I've never seen a 70 with a shaker unless it was a 440-6 or Hemi.

Barry, footnote 1 says available on R/T's with 440-6 & HEMI engines only.
Am I missing something? Plus, the poster is talking about Cudas, not Challengers.

Here is the only known '70 N96 vert, it's a 340 auto
I know of two BS27H0B N96 cars so far, one blue & one red.

That reminds me of this thread, if you have a few hours of your life to waste it's worth a few laughs. Factory 72 Hemi Cuda I don't doubt oddball Chrysler cars were built, plenty of other examples have surfaced that shouldn't have been but do in fact exist, and if such an animal as a 72 Hemi Cuda exists it would be neat to see. But with all of the recent corruption with fake VIN tags, Broadcast Sheets and such, until some real SOLID evidence surfaces I'm not buying it as fact. With all of the Muscle car craze we've all been through in the last 5 years, you'd think if one does exist it would have surfaced by now and photos, documents, etc. would have been seen or published by more than just a select few eye witnesses who claim one exists.
