Found a 69 Barracuda notchback M code ! yes with a 440 engine

How rare are they? any production numbers here ?

Body mint condition, needs paint and reassembly

What's it worth ?

I had a blue one and it may get restored eventually, the owner started and the body is done but the assembly has not happened yet. My sources say around 36 were built, but maybe Dave has more to say on that. What it is worth depends on alot of things, like the exhaust manifolds (they are worth $3500/pair) original engine/trans, 893 oil pan, 065 radiator and a few other special parts. Need more info and PICS!

I don't think anyone knows the exact number, I believe it is inbetween 10-20%, so it could be as high as 72. Dave has the number known.

What engine? No M-Codes came with 4-speeds, only 340 and 383 cars. The cheapest I have seen was the one we got, complete rusted to death car was still $10K.

Back in late 67 a couple Factory Racers were given 68 Barracudas with a 383 package. They were told to stuff a 440 in them. I remember when Vanke did his. It was a black notch car. After they took them to Detroit for the factory to see, to prototype a M code factory car, they let Arlen keep the car. He sold it to a local street racer and it did very well on the drive-in circut.
