There is a logical rumor that the N94 hood option was cancelled around November of 1971, but I've yet to see any paperwork to confirm it.

I've seen a Chrysler letterhead typed letter from an original owner 1971 car that was ordered with a T/A hood, and the letter apologized for not having any T/A hoods and said that they gave him a shaker hood instead. The car did in fact come with a shaker hood when it was delivered, and is coded for that shaker on the fender tag.  Luckily he kept the letter because he thought it was amusing.

Fantastic info!!!!     If I owned that prototype T/A I would build it exactly like it was as a prototype.  That would be the coolest thing ever.

It would be the coolest thing ever.  Might even be worth making a clone car.  It would really stand out at shows.

Does anyone know who own the prototype?  Man, I would love a chance to buy that car and bring it back to its original glory.

Awesome information and history lesson. Thank You! Really enjoyed the restoration photos of El Hemi. I learned a lot by looking at those photos and I will use them for future reference.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Barry and Jeff would know who owns it.  They probably wouldn't be willing to share that information though.  I'm not exactly sure what the privacy policy for their registries is like.

Thank you for sharing your info/knowledge on the N94 hood.  Very good read.

Is Dan's car the only "fresh air" induced mopar with H51? 

I remember seeing the FE5 Hemi Challenger on the streets when Mark owned it many years ago.  We even did some street racing down on Emerald.(local reference)  He was not shy to take on anyone.

I hadn't noticed, but now that you mention it, yeah it might be.
Dan would know better though.  I think he has more info on the 1971 N94 cars, and some of them are also 383 cars.
