I'm told there are very very few documented 440-6 Shaker hood Challengers. As in count them one one hand. LOL...My friend thought I was talking about converts.

You can't find what isn't available. Chrysler didn't keep records of their car production as far as options. Engines and transmissions: yes. N96 Shaker hoods: no. There are a number of production numbers floating around the internet but they are for US built cars only. No Canadian built cars. Where the info came from is a big unknown.

Production records by option DO exist.

But only for US-spec cars.

Canadian numbers exist but are hoarded by the few who have them. I have US-spec numbers, but it will be for ALL engines, so V-code Shaker numbers won't exist.

That site shows there being a bunch of them but no mention if they are documented or not.

In 1970 there were the following:

184 Total
164 R/Ts, 15 R/T SEs, and 5 R/T Convertibles
The ONLY engines could be the 383, 440-4, 440-6, or 426 Hemi
There are NO R/Ts with a 340 in 1970

In 1971 there were the following:

224 Total
72 JH non R/T (340 or 383)
11 JH Convertibles (no R/T converts in 1971)
39 R/T Small Block (340)
102 R/T Big Block (383, 440-6, or 426 Hemi)

There are three different Challenger Shaker Hoods

Early 1970 (Before early to mid October, 1969) with NO crush zones w/raised boss for triangle emblem

Late 1970 (after April 15th) and 1971 with crush zones w/raised boss for triangle emblem

Late 1971 (or more likely over the counter part) with crush zones but NO raised boss for triangle emblem

I had one of the 15 RT/SE's. Here is a pic of mine and a friends. They are both RT/SE, 440-6, FJ5 paint, N96.
Mine is the one with the white roof and black butt stipe. Mine was a 4:10 stick, my friends - a 3:55 auto. Both were April built.

My friend now owns the one in the picture still wears its original paint

The black roof auto?
Is he the one that bought it from the estate of Scott Martin......while it was at Roger Gibsons's shop? I remember it was sold to someone in IL.
Car was sold new in Ontario - Scott bought it from the original owner.
Mine was sold new in MA.

Yes it is the one that Scott had with the black top we went to Rodger gibsons to pick it up probably 10 years ago

Not a Mopar guy, but I have a friend selling a low millage 1970 matching number 440+6 auto. Vitamin C with a black vinyl top.... no shaker. If anyone is interested, pm me

Bruce Hershberger (restorer), Rex Lynch (OO) and I had fun with this one at a remote desert air strip a few years back. Factory optioned: Panther Pink, 440 six pack, 4 speed, track-pak, Shaker, Louvers .....ravishingly beautiful muscle car!!!!!
