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.

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.

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.

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.
