Challenger Shaker N96 Hood history / Notes

[Chryco Psycho]

Welcome to the site @varunner from Panama   
As above N96 = shaker hood , N94 is T/A hood .
Sounds like you did a major rebuild on the unibody of your E body 

[varunner]

yes I did. It went from a  $2500 rust bucket to a nhra stocker. did everything myself but final paint and engine machine work. loads of fun

Thanks. I have a sales brochure that mentions the T/A hood will be available on non-T/A cars. I'd like to gather whatever OEM documentation there is that supports that.  I am getting ready to run a challenger in nhra stock with that hood and it would be nice to have some good paperwork in my back pocket if I need it.

The info on the N94 T/A Hoods can be found in the N94 T/A Hood thread.  Here's a link.

Having purchased my first Challenger in 1978 I learned early on how special shaker cars were. There were a few in CT back in the day. This one is the one I lusted over most. It was a 1971 JH27N1B sold new out of Cavallaro Dodge in Ansonia. It was FC7 Plum crazy, white interior, 4 speed pistol grip, and N96 shaker. Was traded back at the dealer around late 76 and they could not resell it. Ended up having to repaint it brown in order to move it. It was always in nice shape. when it would come up for sale it was always more then I could afford. Local DJ owned it for a while. I heard the hood was pulled from it around 85-86 and the car went one way and the hood another. Never heard about it again. More shaker stories to come....

The 71 I restored years ago was also purple/white/white but it was a 340 4spd car, not 383

The 71 I restored years ago was also purple/white/white but it was a 340 4spd car, not 383

and it was NOT a factory SHAKER car!

Yea there was always debate over that...I can't make the claim either way...The broadcast sheet is missing that area (N96)...The guy that had me restore it was under the impression it was an N96 car when he bought it from an up-standing member here on this site. I believe the car recently sold at Mecum for $300K or something crazy like that ???

Terry,
I wonder if any of the owners know if their cars spent any time in CT?

[71vert340]

  Good question. You can contact speeddemon who runs the Shaker Registry and it could be he has contact information on the owners. He could then ask the two owners via email about their car's history. You can contact him through here. Again see his  reply

we discussed this: the "J" section of the sheet is readable  & has NO "J25" - NO J25 = NO N96, pretty simple

Yea at the time I think that was brought up by Galen Govier as well, he had also mentioned the upper rad hose code was not correct or something......I know at that time, Galen had supplied the fender tag...which is on the car now with N96....I have no idea if the BCS is still with the car or not...

I can't really remember the details, that was a life time ago it seems....heck it was five years ago that you and I last talked..

 Thanks for that information Dan. I was not aware of the J25/N96 relationship on the build sheet. That is very good to know. I looked at my sheet and sure enough, it has the J25.
