In the $10K- 15K range right now. The rusty one in my pic above was bought for $10K 5 years ago. I really need to come over and check out your car! 
This car isn't rotted like the one you pictured, it's in much better shape, if your blue one is a 5 then I possible down graded this one to far, it should be a 3 then. Possibly 15-20k then. But will these cars actually bring in that dollar ???
Jim, That would be (cars) not car 
I have the 2 67's fastbacks I need to get on the market. an original owner damaged blue numbers match 383 4 spd as well as a maroon rolling body 273 4 spd.

please post pics of these m codes in the rough,thats what i like and others like to see ,as we all have seen restored ones.
Yes, i also would like pics. Would you be willing to add it to the registry that i am taking car of?
Rite now there are 17 coupes that i have tag info on. There is a couple of weird things about the coupes that i have listed. WE, M-code 'cuda owners, like to see the different cars that still exist. All owners were given up dated info back in '02 by Tom. When i update further, owners will get a new information package with all current cars. I have in the past year added 3 new fastbacks. 1 has only 84xx miles on it!
68mannix, sounds like you have a M-code also? If 'cuda would love to add it to the registry also!! LMK
As stated on the bottom of my post, info isn't given out publicly.
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

So would an M-code Cuda or Dart make a good F.A.S.T. car and has anyone competed with one yet?
I know stock tire size would be an issue but you could go one width size larger (F70-14 to G70-14) from what I'm told for a little help.
I know the intake/carb combo and the manafolds would be a killer for making any real power.
Mike I missed this ... it would run ok but the intake and single 4bbl basically make it a non competitive package. As long as you don't want to run near the top .. into the 9's , it would be a solid 11 sec ride.

Well John you got me there but it still has the original diff and axle in it and the 3.91 tag on the diff....but I know that's still a guess....and there is no sign of the stripe on the tail of the original paint or the tag  another guess, your right.
I'll need a ruling on this then, what do you guys think, did this M-code Dart GTS have a stripe or not....this is the original paint and it was a Southwest car and always garage kept since it was hauled back from there...a solid car and I can't find any signs of a tail stripe ever

I'd say stripe delete, did you pull the side markers and check for stripe in the marker relief pocket?
That's going to be a nice one when you get her done!!!

Thanks Dave, the markers and the drip rail were the first places I looked and so did the friend that I bought it from also looked and looked and...well you know. Yeah I can't wait to get started on it and running, it was the second car that I wanted back in '69, the first was a '69 383 GTS in F8, black interior no vinyl roof and then I read about the 440 M-code and couldn't find a dealer that knew anything about it or wanted to look or even try to order one. Got so disappointed that I ordered a road runner in F5, black, bucket seat, console interior (this one, that photo is back in the summer of '69), my parents were going to have to co-sign for the loan and mom didn't want to see me get a "compact" waited 30-years and found one by coincidence from a best friend I made through Mopars and dirt bikes, who'd a thunk it

The real way to tell if it is a stripe delete would be the GTS letters on the front fenders! All 69 stripe delete cars had these, if not, then it could have been a stripe that was removed at the dealer, seen it before! Mine came with GTSPORT stripe on one side and DART SWINGER on the other, maybe the dealer noticed it and removed it, the dealer mine came from didn't notice or didn't care.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I knew that was coming from you, I was waiting for your next reply before I posted about the callouts. You taught me to be thick skinned or go back on the porch and watch the real dogs play
And now I know why it HAS the GTS callouts on the front fenders.....don't have a photo here on this computer but I'll post it later this evening. Thanks guys 
Hmmmmmmmmm a running, well tuned, 383 '69 Dart GTS in F8 green WITHOUT a vinyl roof for trade that going to cause some sleepless nights...thanks John
