I met a local guy that bought a M-Dart back in the '70s. He'll be renting storage by my friend's shop and moving it there, he claims it's a tan color, not Y3 cream? Will keep updated as I get to know this guy and his M-Dart! He also has a '69 340 GTS!

Finally the last piece! After two years of searching, placing craigslist wanted ads from coast to coast, gougers, scammers and hoarders, I found a 3462017 for a bargin price! Somebody on craigslist saw my ad and told a guy who racing his car in 71, took off manifolds for headers, been sitting ever since. I knew they were still out there in the corner of someone's garage. And just 20 miles up the road.

Awsome good find, go ahead and tease everyone, I did when i found them at a bargin. Not all people are out to kill you when they know it will go to a good home.

Got a question on our M code I hope you guys can help me with. When we got the car it had a set of rollers tack welded to the torque boxes and when it was moved one of the boxes split. Did M codes use B body torque boxes or were they special to the A body M code as I did not think any other A bodies got them? I could have ours welded up and fixed but I am not sure I trust them after being split the whole length of the box.

Not sure what you mean, pretty much all 4-speed A-Body's got rear torque boxes and they are reproduced. They are the same as the torque boxes used on M-Codes. No B-Body frame parts work on an A-Body.

Thanks Rhino. Maybe that is where I got confused as I knew no auto A bodies got the box but I did not know that 4 speeds got them. I would have assumed the 383 4 speeds would have but did not know for sure. I thought I had read that some of the early M codes did not have the boxes? Am I correct there or just smoking something?

Convertibles have them also, any engine. The verts have front boxes too.

My 4-speed 69 Barracuda coupe has both front and rear torque boxes.

It is total hit-and-miss on 4-speed cars. My 69 383 4-speed GTS has them front and rear but that seems to be the rare case as I have seen many more 4-speed A-Body's with just rears.

GUYS, this M-fastback is back on the market. This is Scott's old car that sold at BJ for $48k. Lots of pics and good video! It actually has a 383 motor mount, NOT 440!!! But the unknowing guy thinks it's correct. Just like he states that only 440 cars have torque boxes. Car also doesn't have lower body stripes and flat black front and rear valence! Not #'s motor or trans.

Good note is the undercarriage is all original, not restored.

Buy it now $62,900.

Interesting video Dave!

Glad I watched it, always wondered about the paint marking on my rear axle and even though they are bold and bright I put them back. This is the first BB A-body I have seen with basically the same markings. While mine is only the 383 it has a lot in common and yes the 383 cars had torque boxes as well not just 440 thing.
Guess what they are saying is this car in the link must be a fake cause it has none.

This car (Black One) has sold in the past for good money and seems to be unfinished in many respects.

Good guess, being as how my log in name is "...340". So, my measly 340 Barracuda has all four torque boxes, and meanwhile the green and black 'Cuda 440s above have only 2 and none.

Yeah but i noticed that AFTER i wrote it!!! I personally have not seen a BB bcuda or Dart with both front and rear boxes! I have 6 '69 BB Bcudas/'cudas and all only have rears weather 383, 440, auto or 4 speed. Have a '69 340 4spd with both, '69 340 auto with none. This seams to be the norm.

Dave, this looks like the car of the guy I talked to for awhile up at Carlisle in 09. Very unmolested car, rough but a good reference type with everything in the right place. I think if I remember right, the fender 440 call outs where different than the others, on original fenders and no repairs. He was thinking of restoring but was siding with leaving it alone because of the originality part.
