71 and up are all "crush' type design. '70 was solid up until January of '70 (I believe) and then switched over due to the feds changing the requirements for safety purposes.

I would like to hear from some owners of Rallye hooded Cudas, 1971 built pre Oct 1st.1970 on this subject. The 1970 Cudas style Shaker Hood with no crush zones was put on a lot of 1971 Cudas.

I have a Nov 69 built Cuda with a no crush hood, but I'm also restoring a 70 February build Cuda and want to verify it gets the crush zone hood

I have a 1971 383 Cuda rallye hood Nov.5,1970 build date and it has crush zones.I also have a 1971 Shaker Cuda that has the same Sched. build date and it has crush zones. I have never seen a Shaker hood with crush zones that was built in Nov or Dec. of 1970, the 1971 production year. That does not mean they are not out there.

I saw a June '70 built Challenger last weekend with a no crush zone hood. He said it was the original hood, but who knows for sure since he's not the original owner.

My 71 barracuda with a flat hood didn't have the crush zones. It was the original hood I am 100% positive. I don't know when my build date is though.
What's the last 6 of the VIN?

Your scheduled build date should be on the fender tag.

If things were running for Plymouth the same way they were running for Dodge, the date your car was built would likely be in June. Your Fender tag might say the end of May or the first week of June.

Maybe start a list on what hood is on your 70 or 71 Ebody and the build date for the car and crush zones or not.
1971 Challenger Convert. November 1970 door sticker A-20 on BC sheet, flat hood with crush zones.
1971 Challenger June 1971 door sticker May 24,71 on the fender tag, Shaker Hood with Crush Zones.
1971 Cuda Nov. 5th 1970 build date on the fender tag Shaker Hood with Crush zones.
1971 Cuda Nov. 5th 1970 build date on the fender tag Rallye Hood with Crush Zones.
Also have a Shaker hood off a May 1971 built car and it has crush zones and a Rallye hood that is a 1970 Model with NO crush zones and that I believe came off a Sept.1969 built Challenger.

I have not seen any paper work on this Jan.1st.1970 date for any changes. There is paper work on when the Shaker Hood was to come back into production but I do not have that either.
Owners of 1970 E Bodies that were built between Oct.31, 1969 and the end of production in July 1970 would post the build date and the type of hood and if it has crush zones or not, then all might see a pattern. I say all E Bodies because I wonder if the same thing was going on with the Cuda as with the Challenger with ALL types of hoods and if any 1970 Cudas got the Crush Zone Hoods. There are early 1971 Shaker Hooded Cudas that have the None Crush Zone Shaker Hoods. This could be because of left over product from the 1970 build. Did all the Plymouths get the none crush zone hoods in early production, lets say before Oct.31 1970.
