someone refresh my fading memory...... on a red cuda with a shaker, what colors were available for the shaker itself? Black, Body color or silver argent? Or all of the above?
You didn't really get to pick a shaker color. It just came with a shaker and depending on the model and year the color would vary.
But red/argent/black are the only colors made based on factory documents.

all of the above...only a very few real early built red cuda`s had red shakers-unless someone has pics of the car dated early in it`s life would i believe it came with a red shaker.
I'd have to disagree depending on your definition of very few and early. Of course the number of red cudas with shakers would be small to start with.

i seen pics of a factory go mango shaker on a go mango challenger.
This car was used for print ads/brochures and was tested by car magazines including Car and Driver which had a picture of it with a red Hemicuda as a center spread in their new car issue. There may be other print ads with body colored shaker Challengers but I can't remember. I would suspect that if the ads exist that the car didn't actually have a body color shaker.

Notice those cars have red and orange scoop grills respectively, something never offered on production cars.
You could do lots to ad cars to promote hype.
A few hand painted orange scoops did leave Fram with Detroit 'suits' for promotional purposes.
But as stated the only documented colored scoops offered by Chrysler were red, argent and black.
Except for them both being Go Mango I agree Terry, but then who would know more about it than you. :-)

check out the hood pin location on the go mango challenger...prototype shaker hood?
all the best
frank.
Plus, if you have the brochure check out the 8 G tach with the numbers going almost all the way around unlike any originals.
Lots of other unusual details as well.

And the black door panels have no potmetal/woodgrain inserts in them. Definitely early.

non-SE Challengers did NOT have woodgrain door inserts until somewhere around November '69 
Actually any car with a leather interior prior to January 1970 got the woodgrain inserts in the door panels. I thought that starting in January 1970 Chrysler started issuing all cars with inserts in the door panels. That only lasted about a month and a half, around the middle to late part of February is when the Deputy/A93 cars started being produced.
