N94 T/A Hood

[xx88man]

This is amazing info. Thanks for sharing this. I have always wanted an N94 car.....I had no idea they were quite that rare!   

[RUNCHARGER]

Great read. Thank you.

unfortunately (for me  ) one of the '71s is 383 4bbl N94 with A/C ..... oh, it's a FC7 convertible

w/rear of hood trim & it's still on the car - car was on eBay around 2002 & 2005 - got the info 1st time & tried to buy it 2nd time around

another N94 '71 Challenger R/T - a CANADA spec. dealer demo
a regular in Van Nuys at Spring Fling - 383 4-spd

story goes - during restoration the stenciled part number was found on the two scoop steel hood seen in this pic & the owner is convinced this equates to it being the factory installed hood on the car.  otherwise the car appears  to be restored to the sheet!

Factory installed parts DO NOT have stenciled part numbers or "MADE IN CANADA" stamps/tape/decals on them

Good info Dan. So he has a rare car, but he doesn't believe it? Well that's a new one.

And thanks Cataclysm for compiling this thread 

Here is some more info by 6bblGT with my pictures:

These are the two Hemi Challengers previously mentioned by Cataclysm here:

The FE5 "bright red" N94 HEMI Challenger R/T is JS23R0B376234 - Y14 "SOLD" car
(E74, D32, A32, A45, C16, & N94 are its ONLY extra cost OPTIONS)
3266.00 + 1336.20 + the hood(~$150) = ~$4752.20 + destination charge
HEMI auto w/4.10s - black interior, '450 wheels, manual steering, NO radio, NO vinyl top, and NO stripes.
car has b'cast & ft - SPD 612.

Sounds like a "racecar", it was ordered new and raced by a mechanic or service writter out of a Dodge dealership in Indiana or Illinois. This is the same car that was in Texas in the '80s, Florida in the '90s & the east coast (near Dave, but he's from USA) during the '00s. It is the car that Restorations by Julius restored in California.

The TX9 - "black" N94 HEMI Challenger R/T was JS23R0B336419 - Y14 "SOLD" car (SECOND PIC BELOW)
(E74, D21, A33 & N94 are its ONLY extra cost OPTIONS)
3266.00 + 1116.45 + the hood(~$150) = ~$4532.45 + destination charge
HEMI 4-spd w/3.54s - black interior, '450 wheels, manual steering, manual drum brakes, NO radio, NO console, NO vinyl top, and NO stripes.
Sounds like a "racecar", car has b'cast & ft - SPD 512 & VON 076275

More of Dan's 6bblGT information pertaining to 1970 NON-T/A N94 Challengers:

The FF4 "light green metallic" N94 383 Challenger R/T is JS23N0B405351 - Y14 "SOLD" car
(D32, B51, C16, C92, G11, H51, J46, J55, J81, N94, M85, R11, R31, S77, S79, U82, V1F, W21, & W34 are its extra cost OPTIONS)
3266.00 + 1163.60 + the hood(~$150) = ~$4579.60 + destination charge
383 auto w/3.23 open, black interior, V6X & a few OPTIONS to the point of having a window sticker price near the HEMI cars.
I have the b'cast sheet & fender tag - SPD 702 & VON 076823.

I purchased the car from Shafi Keisler in the mid-'90s thru an ad in Mopar Collectors Guide.
Anyone have an "ordered" Challenger from the pacific northwest with a 076xxx VON?


The EB5 "bright blue metallic" N94 340 Challenger (non-R/T) is JH23H0B405538 - Y14 "SOLD" car - A66 car w/stripe "DELETE"
(A66, D32, D91, C16, C62, J81, N94, R22, R31, S77, V1W, & W21 are its extra cost OPTIONS)
2953.00 + 1025.10 + the hood(~$150) = ~$4128.10 + destination charge
340 auto w/3.55 s/g - white bucket seat interior
I have a copy of the b'cast sheet - SPD 702. (same SPD as my car, but my car's sequence number is 15,000 cars later - I guess something "like A/C" may have delayed the car ~2 weeks?)

The car was on ebay in 2003 & located in Florida, I heard it went to Canada.

The EB5 "bright blue metallic" N94 Challenger SE (non-R/T) is JH29N0B440490 - Y16 "Sales Bank" car
(E63, D21, D91, B41, B51, G11, G31, G33, J41, N94, R11, R31, S77, T34 & W11 are its extra cost OPTIONS & H5B5 is a $48.25 CREDIT OPTION)
3185.00 + 664.10 + the hood(~$150) = ~$3999.10 + destination charge
383 4bbl 4-spd w/3.23 s/g - blue cloth & vinyl bucket seat interior
I have a copy of the b'cast sheet - SPD 730. (..... but appears to have been built before my 702 SPD car)

The car was on ebay in 2012 & located in Michigan, it went to California.
currently it is the ONLY "sales bank" N94 hood'd car & it has dual chrome mirrors ..... Oh it's a SE!!

Did any N94 hoods come body color?     Neat look!

Did any N94 hoods come body color?    

Quote from earlier in this thread...

It was always painted organisol, not body color.

The intention was to have it always be organisol. 
Organisol would hide any flaws (pinholes / bubbles) in the fiberglass, so they didn't have to bodywork the hoods.
The 1969 A12 Roadrunner / Super Bee fiberglass hoods were also always organisol.  Problems with their radio reception is why the E body fiberglass hood cars were intended to receive rear mounted antenna.

Good to see you here Dan!
I'm sure we'd all love to hear more info on the 1971 N94 cars.

Thanks for adding to the topic guys!
When I get a little time, I'll add your info up top so that everything stays organized and easy to find for future readers.
If you see anything that you think needs corrected, say something.  I try not to have incorrect info posted.

Another 4 barrel air cleaner to go with the N94 T/A hood.
Not sure which engine this is for.
It could be 383 or 440, or it could be a rejected prototype because it wouldn't work with air conditioning, or it could be a prototype for the canceled 1971 TA since the six pak was not allowed on the race cars.
It's extremely rare. Fram was the air cleaner vendor. This was found leftover at the Fram plant by the guy who did the spotwelds back then.

Very comprehensive and informative thread 

Fram employed many people for the hundreds of  various spotwelded assemblies they manufactured per day.
This base was actually found by and given to me by the gentleman who went to Hamtramk for a week to show the line workers the procedure of installing shaker assemblies as the cars went down the line.
He was a wealth of information with stories to back them up

Hey @mccannix welcome. I think you'll find this to be a great E Body site focusing on information very rarely found anywhere else on the internet.
We have a small, but very knowledgeable group of guys here. I hope you stick around and share your wealth of knowledge about everything "shaker".

For those that don't know......If you have a question reguarding shakers.....there is nothing that this man doesn't know.


Welcome Terry  

[Cuda Cody]

Glad to see you here @mccannix      And thank you for sharing the photo and knowledge you have.

Factory installed parts DO NOT have stenciled part numbers or "MADE IN CANADA" stamps/tape/decals on them 

While generally accepted, not 100% guaranteed.
Early built shaker cars can be found with the MADE IN CANADA 3418658 stamp on the seal.
On one of my visits to Fram in the 80's a Fram engineer told me that because Canadian made items being exported to the US required identification, and the  shaker assemblies were shipped completely assembled in bedsteads of 60,  the easiest item to stamp was the seal.
No stamps on the bases, rings, doors, grills, scoop or other items.
Some survivor cars today can be found with a faint stamp on the seal.
This requirement was relaxed in early 1970 when compnents were shipped in an identifying box

Very comprehensive and informative thread 

Thanks for adding to it.

It's FANTASTIC to see you here Terry!

Here's some additional photos of the little hood bumpers that are at the rear of a T/A hood.
These rubber bumpers are pretty difficult to find.
As shown in the second picture, height of the bumper is adjusted with shims (washers) placed between the bumper and the hood.
