Which 1970 Plymouth model offered a 'shaker hood' as a performance option?

The 1970 Plymouth ’Cuda offered a shaker hood as a performance option.

The ’Cuda was Plymouth’s high-performance version of the redesigned third-generation Barracuda. For 1970, the Barracuda moved to Chrysler’s E-body platform, shared with the new Dodge Challenger, and was offered in base Barracuda, Gran Coupe, and sport-oriented ’Cuda forms.

The shaker hood, identified by option code N96, was mounted to the engine rather than fixed directly to the hood. Because it moved or “shook” with engine vibration, the scoop became one of the most recognizable visual features of classic Mopar muscle cars. It also provided a functional route for drawing cooler outside air into the engine.

The option was not limited to one engine. In 1970, it could be ordered with several ’Cuda powerplants, including the 340, 383, 440 four-barrel, 440 six-barrel, and 426 Hemi. The shaker was available on the 1970 and 1971 Barracuda generation, while the base Barracuda and Gran Coupe had different equipment and positioning in the lineup.
