Or the fiberglass hood that was only factory installed on the 340 AAR Cuda and T/A Challengers, on any E Body? What was the old saying about people who live in glass houses?
Having raced and owned Mopars in the past and also, family members having owned A, B, and E Body Mopars, I can say that the E-Body Challengers did have the T/A fiberglass hood under the N94 code option and it has been documented and OEM part numbers available.

My college roommate had an original, Orange, 1970 Challenger R/T Hemi, with the N94 code option and the T/A hood.

P1970-1971 Chrysler Parts Catalog:
-- Retainer = base / cover = lid --
N94 - CHALLENGER - fiber glass hood - air cleaners
COVER
340 or 440 eng., w/3-2 bbl. carb. - #3577 395
426 eng. chrome w/decal - #3577 396
RETAINER
340 or 440 eng., w/3-2 bbl. carb. - #3577 385
426 eng. w/2-4 bbl. carb. - #3577 394
BODY
340 4bbl. eng. - #3577 457
383 4bbl. eng. - #3577 458
COVER PLATE w/fresh air - #3577 459
COVER PLATE ASSY w/fresh air - #3577 387

Here is an actual VIN of a Challenger with the N94 code option, 383-4BBL, 4 Speed

The only Cuda to have a fiberglass hood was the AAR with the 340-6.
