there weren't - the numbers are closer to 725-ish 383 automatics & 400-ish 440 automatics

anyone know where the first 640 built "M-code" GTS number appeared?


Per the GTS Registry this was the first M-Code built:

LS23M9B2241**: GTS#160: This is the FIRST "M" CODE PRODUCED!!! Vehicle Order Number (VON) is 900900!!!! WOW! This is as the "M" GTS looks now! Originally equipped as a B5 Bright Blue Metallic and a V1X black vinyl top and V8X black bumble bee stripe. About the only option on it was the remote control mirror! This 440 was built for racing, and here's a picture of it circa 1978 running 11.2's at 118mph! This was purchased at Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge and retains the number matching 440!

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
