Well I Have been buying lots of NOS parts that I can find and restoring lots of components to be reinstalled. The car has come from the first picture to the second picture posted. The car was a non undercoat car so underneath is the factory primer finish and of course the outer surface re sprayed in original factory R4 red.

The second one may be up and running in as is condition in a few months. I'm going to drive it with all its battle scares, Rust, Primer, Dents and faded chrome. This car is the 3rd picture and 4th picture.

I am very fortunate to not only own one M Code but to have 2 M Code cars the same color, I consider myself a lucky man. My first car in High School was a R4 69 340 Swinger so this body and color has a special place in my memory. You always remember your first car and man were those the days.

You'll fit rite in with the rat rod crowd LOL

Oh no I won't as i not a rat rod fan, and don't really think the Dart fits that category. I just want something I can beat on like I did back when I had my first car when they were just cars and not collectibles.
My first Dart was a beautiful shade of Red with black and grey primer. Here's an old picture with the wheels screaming and the smoke rolling.

You should primer the new one just like the old one! What is that on your front fender?

Funny you should say that as I am going to to the same thing to that passenger side where old Al clip a pole with it. rather then replace the 1/4.

Oh yea I had found a 68 GTS 383 car in the local salvage yard back then and put the GTS emblems on the front fender. Thought I was cooler with them on the front fenders. LMAO

That emblem reminds me of the time at the track with my buddy's 68 383 GTS. The emblems where still on the fender but was running a 440 so he found some 440 emblems to put under the 383 ones. Then we put a Hemi in it for awhile and 426 Hemi emblems went on the six-pac hood scoop. Anyway while we waiting around in the staging lanes these two boys, maybe 10-12, came by and was looking at the emblems and car. Then the one boy turned to the other and said "383-440-426 Hemi, he don't know what motor he wants". Took us ten minutes to get our breath back and the tears dried up.

Awesome picture!

That slick really filled up that wheel well, nice trailer for those times too.

Anyone need a 440 block out of a 69 M-Code Dart? It will be at the Indy swap this weekend.

Jim. Whats the number on the block?? My M-code is missing its original engine. Would love to find it and re-unite the two.

I am also looking for my original block to my M Code, Mine was last seen in Il. please share Jim

It came with my car out of New Hampshire and was 8 digits off my VIN. When I sold the car the new owner didn't want it. I will check the VIN and post it.

Is it definitely for a Dart?

VIN # 9B282300, my car was 9B282308...

Nope. Not the missing motor to my Dart. Knew it was a long shot, but had to ask. Thanks for checking.

BTT.........this ones in A-bodies here for sale......


1969 Plymouth Barracuda $86,000.00 obo or trade + cash


69 M code all matching numbers everything it had been sitting since 1972 before I started restoring it 4 years ago. Less than 25,000 original miles but everything has been rebuilt or restored. It starts and runs great the only guage that isn't working is the tach and it is out being rebuilt and should return within the next 2 weeks.
It retains all the original m code specific parts that came with the car. As far as I'm aware its the only R6 R6 m code with a complete red interior according to the registry. Koffels place in Huron Ohio did all of the machine work to the engine. Scott Smith took care of the carburetor, Dixie Restoration completely redid the alternator and the Accurate exhaust fit like a glove....the list goes on and on for the new and NOS parts that have been added to complete this restoration. The tires are new from 1970 and still had the stickers on them when installed. Even has a matching rim and red stripe for the spare. Also included is a correct aftermarket yellow top battery that hasn't ever had any acid put into it.

Without rambling on about everything else that has been done to the car you can take a look at the before after and during pictures of the restoration. Don't hesitate to ask any questions about the build. As far as trades go I would rather keep it to 68-72 mopar in any condition the more unique cars will be at the front of the line. Some before pics can be viewed at http://www.2040-cars.com/Plymouth/Barracuda/1969-plymouth-barracuda-440-m-code-cuda-539931/ and before during and after pictures can be viewed at https://www.facebook.com/mcodecuda/ Thanks for looking 567-224-0923 for more info.
