« on: October 29, 2015 - 04:34:53 AM »
Can someone tells me if this has crumple/crash zone. Early or late 70s Shaker?

Actually asking for specifics ruined this for me lol. I fully planned to say "yep its a shaker hood" lol. The title just seemed to beg for that little quip.
Cuda is gone :(

Looks like a crumple zone so would be considered 71

 :iagree:
 You can see the 2 depressed ribs across the front of the hood at the top of the picture is it is a late 70 hood

Tha car is produced B12 (12 november 1969) so the hood is probably not the original, but not a repro either? Right?

Found this when I was looking for info on my Cuda hood, (Is it the same for Challenger? )

 No reproduction hood underside tub ever duplicated this varying degree of wrinkling seen in originals.
All repros will be smooth here.
That is all you should have look at to see if the hood is real.
Dont forget, Gene Gregory was doing these hoods in the early 90's

That's a quote from Terry McCann...He's considered the "Godfather" when it comes to shaker hood information. :worshippy
