I wonder if Chrysler was allowed to use the extra 140 M-code Dart production to make the homologation of 500 per model (for the Cuda) that seemed to have been the number of the day for approval? 640 Dart's and 360 (358) Cuda's gave them the 1000 units needed
As I said the only way I knew about them back in '69 was from an actual small "sidebar" article in one of the magazines. You'd pass right by it if you were not interested in the Dart or Cuda it was so short. That magazine photo I posted above was a test done in Drag Racing Magazine that headlined the Sox 6BBL road runner test and said nothing about the M-code Dart test on the cover so even the media did their part to hide them too
