Did a shaker hood ever come on the early Challenger's?

I'm restoring a 1973 Challenger with some modifications, so it won't be stock. Got a question, did the early Challenger's ever come with a shaker hood like the Cuda's? I really dig the Cuda hoods compared to the Challenger hoods. Thinking of putting a shaker hood on my 73 Challenger.
Thanks-

70s and 71s had a shaker option. 72-74s did not, but a lot of folks retrofit them.

Thanks ChallengerHK. Was thinking of going with earlier 70 bumpers as well since they look cleaner.

I believe early 70s did not have the Shaker available due to production limitations what month did they become availble ?

I've read that the very first '70 Hemi Challenger convertible, JS27R0B100022, which Chrysler retained to create the Yellow Jacket and later the Diamante, was originally a triple-black Shaker equipped car when it came off of the line at Hamtramck

I don't believe the Yellow Jacket / Diamante was coded for the Shaker. It was added to the car by Chrysler though.

I read or heard somewhere that early production and late production shaker hood's were available on 1970 challenger's only because of A shortage. and 1971 available through out the model year run.
