Weird things like that happen I guess...

A guy I know has a small block '67 Vette but came from the factory with the big block Vette hood with the big hood scoop because the molding process for the SB hoods got damaged so BB hoods were put on some SB Vettes.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

due to the shortage of Shaker Chall hoods some Hemi Challs were delivered with the TA hoods
 no Cudas were built with the AAR hoods though


This is not true. The N94 hood was a seperate option available on Challenger R/T and the A66 cars after 4/13/70

The same brochure mentions N96 availability on another page;

The N94 hood replacing N96 hoods scenario is a myth.

According to that it was supposed to be, but it never happened. I wonder what it would have looked like......

From memory, rubber bumpers were planned for 1970 Chargers as well but never came to be.
