Cannot gaurantee his car was effected by this although it did have a T/A hood in 1982 when I first met him .
But here is an original owner Hemi car that owner says same thing happened to him . He forced the dealer to replace the hood with a shaker unit .

Has everyone missed the fact that the hood had hinges! T/A and A12 hoods do not have hinges.

The car at that link is not coded N94 for a T/A hood - or - N96 for a shaker hood, so it came with the standard steel twin scoop hood. ;-)
T/A and AAR hoods have hinges and light springs.
So the dealer in this case forgot to order the shaker ?

Correct with the 1969 A12 cars.
The AARs and T/As had hood hinges just with lighter weight springs than the steel hood cars though. ;-)

You could ask the dealer I suppose? But at the time of the cars build, neither the N94 or N96 hoods were available on any Challenger models. ;-)
Oh ... you are saying that neither were available so they couldn't have used a T/A hood ?
We will have to start another thread on this so as not to hijack the OPs.

If it was not even available yet, how could they use one?
