My buddy has a Black M code Dart, white vinyl top, parked in his garage for 25 yrs! Never takes it out! Ever!
Pics and details would be cool!!!! 
I would love to post pics, but the owner my friend to be frank is a weirdo ! Lol it's a crying shame he never takes it out it. He owns a bunch of other mopars but never takes any of them out . He has gone to every mopar Nats since the very beginning as well as every Carlisle, plus all the local swap meets cruises etc and never have I seen him once driving any of his cars in over thirty years I know him. To put things in perspective, when he originally bought the dart he made me wear a blindfold and took a million side streets to finally see the car in a rented garage! The funny thing was my cousin owned the garage he rented so I knew and still know we're it's parked ! Lol And to add insult to injury I was in his wedding party !

Since the car has been repainted and it's not in the hands of the original owner with no documentation the only things on the fender tag that are legit are the VIN, the engine code and the trans code, everything else would be in question.
The car would have been better if left without a tag .
I doubt the intake is the original, no way of knowing that.
but the intake must have been still bolted to the "original matching numbers" engine for all of those years...........

I guess I just find it odd to show that date on the intake if it is or isn't the original manifold? It's like showing the unpainted made up fender tag that makes those in the know wonder what else doesn't add up here  I'm not saying it's not the original engine "block" but why show parts that most likely are not original to it????? Don't mind me I'm just rambling...carry on

BTT....Here's another M-code at this dealer, but it's a Dart this time, also on Ebay.

Dave are you putting an asterisk in the registry about the REPOP fender tag the current seller had made up so he could sell the car ?
John, currently i only do the M-cuda registry. But yes it is noted as we all see here. Could be a repop on the fender to save the original from some AH stealing it????? I don't know Dart tags so all the codes look ok to me? This isn't advertized as an original car but modified. Does it have the correct left exaust manifold, hard to tell in the ebay pic? I just looked on Bob's 440 Dart registry sheets and this car isn't on there as far as the vin#, closest one is 351850, so it's a new one?.....The thing that stands out to me that it's a made up tag is the SPD. It's not a correct SPD according to Bob's registry papers?????????
if you go back and read up in this thread where this car popped up it is mentioned the car had no tag and theguy had one made and relisted it .
I didn't realize you only did Barracudas , hopefully Barry Washington sees this and makes note in his registry .

OK, yes i see this now on ebay where he's telling us about no tag and where 416 is his birthday!!!!
I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

Yeah i realize SPD's aren't accurate. These M-codes were built in specific batches. That's why i said the 416 wasn't a good SPD. My white fastback is a 302 SPD but a lot of parts are dated the middle of April! That's 6 weeks later, so if the parts are dated 6 weeks later, when was the car ACTUALLY put together?????.........Can ANYONE else with original cars with date coded parts help out here? Just curious with SPD's and dated parts!!!!!
