Here is what I know as I got alot of this info. from Daniel Banker. Daniel passed away a few years ago and had a lot of information on shaker challengers. I am not sure if he was able to pass any of this information on before he passed away.
In 1970 there were the following:
184 Total
164 R/T’s, 15 R/T SE’s, and 5 R/T Convertibles
The ONLY engines could be the 383, 440-4, 440-6, or 426 Hemi
There are NO R/T’s with a 340 in 1970
In 1971 there were the following:
224 Total
72 JH non R/T (340 or 383)
11 JH Convertibles (no R/T converts in 1971)
39 R/T Small Block (340)
102 R/T Big Block (383, 440-6, or 426 Hemi)
There are three different Challenger Shaker Hoods
Early 1970 (Before early to mid October, 1969) with NO crush zones w/raised boss for triangle emblem
Late 1970 (after April 15th) and 1971 with crush zones w/raised boss for triangle emblem
Late 1971 (or more likely over the counter part) with crush zones but NO raised boss for triangle emblem
There seems to be NO 1970 N96 Challengers known to exist that were built between October 11th, 1969 and April 15th, 1970. I have seen a few examples but they NEVER have a Broadcast Sheet or Documentation.
