I also have a letter from the orig owner written in 2004 telling how he had returned from Viet Nam in 1969 and ordered a red Hemi Charger 4 speed car. In winter of 69-70 he learned how to handle running SS/DA but wanted a newer Cuda -Challenger type car, started working part time at Vissings, they let him order the Challenger as a demo car with his promise that he would buy it within a year. Ran 11:50's on sicks with lots of mods...

N96 was for the Shaker Hood which all 426 Hemis came with, now with the exception as we see it. I never knew this. I have been a Mopar guy my whole life. Learn something new every day, thanks for sharing! Cool history to boot!

Re: Wanted 69 RoadRunner or 70 Challenger
 

The N96 shaker hood was standard on the Hemi Cuda but an option on the Hemi Challanger. The "Raisin Bran" (2-Scoop) hood was standard on the Challenger. In mid-1970 there was an issue with the Challenger shaker hood. I think it was a problem with the crash test results and the hood slicing through the windshield and decapitating people, but I may be wrong, and it was stopped for a while until the inner structure was altered to permit the hood to fold in half in an impact instead of shearing the hinge bolts and acting as a guillotine. I believe the fibreglass T/A hood was used as an alternative for the people in the know who knew the option code existed. Otherwise the car defaulted back to the 2-scoop hood.
