Fresh air cars don't have that lip in the front, I'm thinking. Mine doesn't

Sure does look like a drop base, and the front shield does look tall.

It is a buddy's base, it came with his AAR Cuda and he wants the correct base. Here is another pic of the assembly...

I have never seen one with that much drop so I am going to go with the notoriously low hood clearance 70 Charger. I could be wrong. shruggy

Edit: what about a C body? They did make a few.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

So were there two different ac for 6 pack without fresh air. One unique to a charger and the other for superbirds, other b bodies and such?

Then that must just be camera angle that makes that look like extra drop.

It appears he may need the lid with the wide lip too. work

I'm sure both pieces are wrong, He has an engine for the AAR but not the original one, but it is a T/A-AAR engine. The car hasn't been out of the garage in decades, and the Demon GSS he has might have been out 10 years ago... shock

AAR has a special baseplate that I supply as well the one you shown, is for non-N96 cars with a 440-6 pack or Hemi
