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.
