I have the original dealer brochures from 1971, both the 1971 Dodge Scat Pack and Dart/Demon/Challenger brochure. The closest thing under Challenger is the list of options showing the Challenger R/T, and it states, "Perfomance hood with detachable scoop plates." The Scat Pack brochure takes out the word "Scoop" from the list, but does mention under the Charger the optional Ramcharger hood (illustrating it). The Scat Pack brochure can't be too relied upon, however, as it shows a picture of a 1971 T/A that never was produced! It mentions "Fiber-glass hood with Fresh Air Pack." Thus, the closest to the answer is a car that was never produced. But never say never with a Mopar!
I also have a period piece from 1971 that lists the cost for every option on the car, as well as a "Low Cost" option if you got a good deal. Shaker hood was listed as a $115 option, but right below that is the $173 option for a Fiberglass with Fresh Air Hood. So apparently the option did exist even if the T/A didn't!
