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.

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