Another 1 lost to Western Canada just before my friends T5 above. Life time, pretty rust free Oklahoma car, guys uncle owned since new or close to it. #'s match motor in garage corner, had a built motor with high rise intake, therefore the scooped hood.
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

This is very old pic of prior owner T5 coupe, black vinyl top. The car is restored now and still in Washington.

Would anyone have a list of the magazines from the day that featured road tests on the 69 M-Code GTS Darts?
June '69 issue of Drag Racing Magazine has a test on the M-code Dart 440, I posted the first page of the test earlier in this thread. That's the only test from that time period that I've seen...but that's just me and what I've found, anyone know of another?

Here's mine, purchased in 1990 in Burnaby, BC for $6500. I bought it off the 2nd owner who had it around a year. Original paperwork allowed me to meet and chat with the original owner, who was a bit ticked as he was supposed to have right of first refusal if sold. He told me some great stories!! I used it as a DD for a couple of years, and surprised many who thought the quiet little 440 was only a quiet 318  After 30,000+ miles, I took it off the road and brought it with me when I moved back. Needs some bodywork, but all numbers matching original equipment, from carb to pan, orig. exhaust except replacement from manifolds back. Original T7. Scoops and strpes were removed when original owner had it repainted in the 70s. I found a mint set with gasket years ago from a wrecked 383 cuda. I was also able to purchase a minty rad $$ here on Moparts to replace the original one which split along the top tank seam. Dave, I heard rumors of a green FB that is new to Manitoba. Is that the green one you mention going to Western Canada? Grant

Anyone have the complete VIN stamped on the pad on the block? This was from my 69 GTS M-Code.

Every 69 big block A-body, 383 & 440 cars, have the complete vin # on the block. Every one I've seen anyway.

Here is the one I brought to Carlisle.

There are 2 people above that say they have it ..
Yeah, but one isn't correct and the other hasn't made any extras yet. Or am I missing something?

My 3-29-69 383 GTS has only 8 digits, and so does my Feb built M-Code GTS. I just bought an original Mr. Norms 440 block from a GSS and it has 8 digits on the bellhousing rail. I took pictures today that I will post to show what a real 68 block looks like!
