You couldn't get a Shaker on a 70 Challenger until April of 70..... I may have some pics to see if it has the "crumple zones" on it. Wondering now if 70-71 Shaker Challenger hoods were the same seeing how they finally started shipping them so late in the year....
I disagree. Some of the Hemi Challengers & six pack Challengers had shaker hoods during the first couple months of production.
Here is some Challenger Shaker Hood info from an old thread...
N96 Shaker Hood
(‘Cudas use the same N96 code, but the information below only refers to Challenger Shaker Hoods.)
The Shaker Hood did not come standard on any Challengers.
Optional from the beginning of Challenger production until 10-11-69 on 440 Six Pak & 426 Hemi only. The shaker hood was redesigned due to safety concerns. This second version of the shaker hood became available on 4-10-70 until the end of 1971 production on 340+4 barrel, 383+4 barrel, 440+4 barrel, 440 Six Pak, & 426 Hemi. (Although shaker hoods seem to have been available on base model JH 340+4 barrel & base model JH 383+4 barrel from 4-10-70 through 7-31-70, None are known to exist and it is quite possible that none were ordered/built. As a clarification, there were no RT model JS 340+4 barrel 1970 cars built, and some RT model JS 383+4 barrel 1970 cars DID receive shaker hoods.) A third version of the shaker hood became available at the end of 1971 production as an over the counter crash replacement part.
It was not available with H51 air conditioning or V21 Hood Performance Treatment. If the car was ordered with J55 Undercoat/Hood Pad, the hood pad would be deleted.
J25 variable speed wipers with electric washers are required with this hood.
Along with the hood, you also got the trim ring with gasket, shaker bubble, shaker doors with short operating cable, engine callouts on the side of the bubble, dash mounted carb air cable, baseplate to hood seal, and appropriate air cleaner with baseplate to go with your engine/hood combo.
First Version had No crumple zones and a raised spot for the fratzog emblem. It did Not have a raised spot with reinforcement rib for the 71-74 hood latch pull rod on the underside. It also did Not have the larger hood nose reinforcement. It used 5/16ths hood bolts.
Second Version had crumple zones and a raised spot for the fratzog emblem. It did have a raised spot with reinforcement rib for the 71-74 hood latch pull rod on the underside. It did Not have the larger hood nose reinforcement. It used 3/8ths hood bolts.
Third Version had crumple zones and No raised spot for the fratzog emblem. Also did Not use the "DODGE" letters. It did have a raised spot with reinforcement rib for the 71-74 hood latch pull rod on the underside. It also had the larger hood nose reinforcement. It used 3/8ths hood bolts.
