I know they made a few hemis, but what about 6 pack cars? With the lack of shakers would/did they put any T/A hoods on six pack (non T/A)cars? Would they have the unsilenced air cleaner? I have seen the oddball hemi baseplate, was there a 440 six pack baseplate to seal to the hood??

Mike,

The T/A hood is fully accepted in NHRA Stock and Super Stock (Matt Rover's B/SA 71 440+6 car has it, among others) but in the real world, I know of no original examples at this time.

The T/A hood / lack of Shakers story has been proven here many times as a myth. IIRC, the two situations do not overlap time wise.

Just to elaborate a little further so that no one gets confused. Yes, some non TA challengers received that fiberglass hood. No, it doesn't have anything to do with a lack of shaker hoods.

Thanks

Hey Tom,

You might have to school this guy a little. He's a little green and will need some experienced help. Don't worry, he'll have the right clutch and trans

I know of the existence of four 1970 non-T/A Challengers built with the N94 fiberglas hood.
FWIW The three listed below that still exist also have the "J81" rear spoiler.

JS23R0B - black R/T 4-spd "RIP"
JS23R0B - red R/T automatic
JH23H0B - blue automatic
JS23N0B - green R/T automatic (pic below)

I've heard a rumor/seen a pic of a blue 440 SIX PACK car in Texas, but no proof of factory installed hood.
I'd "assume" the 440 Six Pack cars would use the T/A air cleaner.

Yep, It's JP. He's very excited. I am looking forward to this build. Shouldn't give Big Ed anything to worry about, but I do predict some good things.

Finally get to build a car with a "good" Polyglas tire.

There was a V code 70 Challenger with a T/A hood that went through the Mecum Auction in St. Paul a few weeks ago. I wasn't there, but the listing says it was professionally restored and has the broadcast sheet. Lot number S213 http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=MN0608-71370&entryRow=205

High bid of 56K.

I wasn't there either, but 4-spd & bench seat doesn't tend to indicate an "authentic" restoration.
Anybody know this car?
