|
Taillights:
• Single light bar style, with center section serving as reverse
indicator, with Dodge logo on reverse indicator.

center section which ran almost the width of the hood towards the
rear, containing 2 air vents, with the engine designation on each
outer side of the bulge, and a chrome Dodge logo along the front
of the bulge.
• Shaker Hood. This hood system,
unlike the Power Bulge Hood, did feed air directly into the engine.
Hood scoop was actually affixed to the carburators, and moved with
the engine while poking through the large hole cut in the hood.
• Fiberglass T/A Hood. This hood
featured a large, molded hood scoop which fed air directly into
the engine, and came finished in matte black. It was rumored that
due to a shortage of the Shaker Hoods, several R/T models were equipped
with the T/A hood.

with "FUEL" in raised chrome letters on the black background.
