I agree as above. Chrysler wanted the 440 to stand out on the 440 models. Most of these cars have been restored or some atleast repainted. We see the original paint red fender and there are more original cars out there but no pictures that i know of.
This is one of the only 2-4 original pieces of material with the 440 'cuda advertized. Hard to tell in my pic, but 440 is above the 'cuda.....The original green fastback used in road and drag tests back in '69 only has 'cuda on the fender with no numbers.

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

Untouched! That should answer my question.
Then why does Phoenix and the other providers of stripe kits have it the other way? Cuda on top of 440? They say they have original samples?



They say they have original samples? If they have original samples why did they have the 'cuda decals soooo messed up before i corrected them like 6-7 years ago? Would you like to see how bad they had the 'cuda decals before my help?(i posted pics of my NOS 'cuda decals back 2 pages).

Go by original cars like the red fender posted. The guy i asked for his rear stripe/paint details will also send me fender 440 'cuda decals.
I wouldn't even go by the green "Gold awarded car" rear you showed because judges likely didn't even know about '69 'cuda package cars back when this car was awarded GOLD. I saw this GOLD car long ago when a guy just bought it from a guy that spent like $50k restoring it with alot of NOS. Back then $50k was huge money for a resto on an A-body and was before the explosion in HEMI and E-body prices! I saw it at Englishtown and have a couple of old paper pics of it somewhere.

I had a neighbor who bought a "69 440 'cuda right off the lot and on one side the decal said 440 'cuda and on the other side it said 'cuda 440. Car was a fastback in spanish gold with a green interior.

I believe this, Rhinehart can atest to a similar thing on his Dart where one side had GT butt stripe and the other side had a Swinger stripe! Likely an assembly guy on each side of the car.

What's wrong with Spanish gold with green gut? I'd like to see that one! Just different!

Yep, those mistakes are par for the course for Chrysler quality back then. My second car was a 69 Fury III spanish gold with green interior and top, I thought they went good together!

OK. In the day the color combo was not exactly attractive to me. By todays survivor rate , I think it would be an interesting combo.

That one has the wrong designation on the fender...

Then this small 3 page pamplet is stapled onto the rest of the book. It explaines what is and what is not covered. Basicaly, not much covered at all.

Charlie nice to see an original booklet warranty. Do you have the full sheet warranty that was supposed to be taped inside the window? .........Any chance on seeing the dealership warranty from Chrysler? Dave
