Does anyone have any photos that they could post of any of the 1970 challenger convert shaker cars? 7007917-MuscleCarNationals2012(99).JPG (510 downloads)

I just saw the Diamante at the Muscle Car Nationals in Chicago. I didn't get a chance to see the fender tag but from reading this little billboard it states that is was the first shaker hood challenger and convertible built.

It did not have a Shaker. I repeat it did not have a Shaker. I don't think you could get a Shaker hood until the lawsuits were settled being April 17th 1970 the earliest known Shaker Hood Challenger built that I know of.

First I've ever heard of this! Can you expand on that a little? No Man With A Good Car Needs To Be Justified
