Challenger N96 shaker value

[prototype]

For some reason I gravitate towards the Challenger over a Cuda

I bought a 71 Convertible that came with a 340 and the original owner added a T/A hood and six pack to the car. I had no idea that the 340 was the highest performance convertible in 71.

Being not that versed in Challengers I wanted to add a shaker hood to match a Citron Yella Hemi Challenger that I have and learned how different the 71 hood was, originals are almost impossible to find. There were fibreglass reproductions available.
The crumple zones as discussed are different on the original hoods.

Without original paperwork or knowledge on the trim tags, documenting an original shaker hood car is tough.

Not sure how much an original shaker adds but it's a desirable option.....10-20% I'd say.

This car was still titled by the guys father who bought it brand new and ordered it. It was a late April car. He didn’t order the hemi due to warranty issues. It was a well optioned car, 440/6, track pack, 4 spd, center console, am/fm stereo, 6 way drivers seat, rear window de fog, vinyl top and side stripe. The car has been parked since the late 80s in his back yard. The interior has never been apart so I’m sure there was a build sheet that supported the trim tag. Was a very complete car that was missing 3 steel wheels and that was about it. The vinyl top got the best of it but the rest of the car was very solid. The original colors were dark metallic green with black top, stripe, and interior. I’m sure it will pop up someday all restored.

I'm told there are very very few documented 440-6 Shaker hood Challengers. As in count them one one hand. LOL...My friend thought I was talking about converts.

That site shows there being a bunch of them but no mention if they are documented or not.

That is correct. Perhaps not the best thing for me to post....

The black roof auto?
Is he the one that bought it from the estate of Scott Martin......while it was at Roger Gibsons's shop? I remember it was sold to someone in IL.
Car was sold new in Ontario - Scott bought it from the original owner.
Mine was sold new in MA.

Yes it is the one that Scott had with the black top we went to Rodger gibsons to pick it up probably 10 years ago

Not a Mopar guy, but I have a friend selling a low millage 1970 matching number 440+6 auto. Vitamin C with a black vinyl top.... no shaker. If anyone is interested, pm me
