There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

Hmm - 5th digit of the serial number is an "M"??
that would be a place to start along with check the rad support and trunk lip numbers match the the 8 of the vin .
if the VIN tag is nice and new and the car is a rat trap ... RED FLAG , same goes for the fender tag .
if the barracudas are anything like the darts then the car started life as a 383 AUTOMATIC car .

I had a real M code notchback at the shop and it is owned by a guy who is very knowledgeable on those cars. He usually pokes around on here, I will give him a call and see if he can shed some light on this...
