Here’s what I know about N96 Challengers. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS PROBABLY NOT 100% ACCURATE DUE TO THE RECORD KEEPING THAT WAS DONE BACK IN THE DAY. In 1970 there were the following: 184 Total 164 R/T’s, 15 R/T SE’s, and 5 R/T Convertibles The ONLY engines could be the 383, 440-4, 440-6, or 426 Hemi There are NO R/T’s with a 340 in 1970 In 1971 there were the following: 224 Total 72 JH non R/T (340 or 383) 11 JH Convertibles (no R/T converts in 1971) 39 R/T Small Block (340) 102 R/T Big Block (383, 440-6, or 426 Hemi) There are three different Challenger Shaker Hoods Early 1970 (Before early to mid October, 1969) with NO crush zones w/raised boss for triangle emblem Late 1970 (after April 15th) and 1971 with crush zones w/raised boss for triangle emblem Late 1971 (or more likely over the counter part) with crush zones but NO raised boss for triangle emblem There seems to be NO 1970 N96 Challengers known to exist that were built between October 11th, 1969 and April 15th, 1970. I have seen a few examples but they NEVER have a Broadcast Sheet or Documentation. I have a fairly large database of N96 Challengers and I’m always looking for more information. If you own one please contact me so I can add yours! Daniel Banker Cocoa, FL 321-427-6392 dbbker@cs.com

Hi Daniel, Thanks for this GREAT info.I ordered a 70 Challenger spring of 1970, R/T 440-6 super trac pac with a Shaker Hood. Guess what,it came without the Shaker Hood.  I had a fight with the salesman and he told me that he could not get that hood.Wish he told me that before I ordered the car. Bob
Mom & Dad let me buy a brand new 70 Challenger R/T 440 Six-Pack Super Trac Pack when I was 17
(Robert what is a 440 Six-Pack)

Here's a possible explanation: My 70 Challenger dealer coding guide, dated 10-69, does not list N96. It must have been added to the option list at a later date.

There are several N96 Challengers built between the start of the production year (August 1st) and October 10th. The problem was the early hoods didn't have the crush zones and it wasn't until mid April until they got hoods that did.

Daniel I have a figure that 48 1971 Challengers sold new in Canada got a shaker hood. I also use to collect a lot of 1970 Hemi Challenger information and from memory there were 5 cars that got shaker hoods between Mid Oct. till April 10 when production was to begin again. If I remember correctly there were 3 in Dec. and 2 in Feb.The Dec. cars were two on one day and one on another around the 5-6th.The Feb.cars were on the 21st or 22nd. build date. I use to have around 175 1970 Hemi Challenger serial numbers collected that included both R/Ts and R/T-S/Es and another 13 Real Hemi Challenger Convt serial numbers along with 5 fakes.

What ever happend to Pete Haldiman's FC7 70 Hemi Challenger. IIRC, Pete put a shaker on it but it wasn't original. Car was on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine with a bikini clad girl hanging out the window. It was a no-tip turn down exhaust car, black int, console auto, rallyes, no stripes, no vinyl top.

That's very interesting. I have never seen a single 1970 Challenger N96 car built between 10-11-69 and 4-14-70 that had a Broadcast Sheet or Window Sticker to back it up. I'm not saying that there were none built, rather I'd love to find out if there are any out there that are legit.

Mine 1970 N96 was REALLY close, only one day later,,, Broadcast sheet April 16th 1970 and Fender tag April 16th 1970.
I wish someone would post more information on the SHAKER cars. Thanks for the info also.

Great post, Daniel! I think you have all of the info on mine, but it is a 71 R/T, 383, 4-speed, FC7, white stripe and interior, no console, shaker, wing, and 3.91 axle package.
Maybe this should be a picture thread... here's mine. Not much to look at, but I love it anyway!

I really appreciate having someone like you around to answer another Shaker question. IF a 70 Challenger had a Shaker hood, would it ALWAYS have an N96 designation on the fender tag?
I would say yes. It's very possible that it was a dealer added thing, or maybe the original owner added it early on. Now if you had a Broadcast Sheet of Window Sticker that said N96...Then who knows? There is no certainty in the world of Mopar Muscle Cars.

There's at least 3 71 Challenger shaker convertibles in Ontario that are not included in the 11...
Alan, Why is it that they wouldn't be part of the 11? Is there any documentation that Canadian cars weren't part of these production numbers that have been around forever? Please do not forget that I am the first to admit that these numbers are probably not written in stone.

I have alway been told that the production figures you quoted Daniel were USA only.I was told this by Chrysler Historical back in the late Seventies.That is why I put up those numbers for the Canadian 1971 Challengers.Alan and I agree the figures for Canadian cars are not in the USA production figures and he is right there are atleast 3 1971 Convt. Challengers with shakers in Ontario.I know of one Export 1971 Hemi Challenger with a Shaker also,so that would also not he in those USA figures.This is like stating Hemi Production numbers for 1971 Challengers. 70-71 1971 Hemi Challengers sold new in the USA there is a question of just how many exactly by one car because it is amassed of a percentage of cars. 5 1971 Hemi Challengers sold new in Canada, know to be correct. 2 know export 1971 Hemi Challengers.That would make either 77 or 78 total 1971 Hemi Challengers known but the USA production figures state 70or 71 Hemi Challenger built.
Daniel I am not sure if I still have the information about what cars exactly got the shaker hoods in Dec and Feb. I believe I have sent a list of 1970 Hemi Challengers,serial numbers only that I collected from 1977 till about 1992 to Ola Niellson for his registery.I can try to see if I can find that list and send it to you if you like,not sure if you still are into that 1970 Hemi Challenger stuff since you sold your wheels.
