I don't think I've ever seen an air dam on an e-body.

seen some 69 camaro air dams adapted on the moparts website...or make your own, the aar/TA ones weren't very complicated
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

There is a thread on moparts that talks about cuda al's air dam as being ABS plastic I think, seach moparts, it's a pretty recent thread

Cool pics. All of those are really more spoilers instead of air dams.

I think Cuda Al made the spoiler that's in my pic, but this was his first incarantion. I don't know if he's changed methods, but mine is definitely fiberglass and not ABS.

Unfortunately, the AAR version isn't designed to sit under a Challenger with its turn signal pods. It would require some mods to fit.

The MAS version is pretty flimsy and while it will direct air into the radiator, it would require some mods to actually produce down force.

Showcars is the worst fiberglass provider I have ever seen. I would only use their stuff if it is the last available option. Plan on spending many hours cleaning it up.

You could also make your own. Here is my T/A copy made form sheet aluminum
