The car came from Columbus,Oh area,and has been in Houston Tx since around '78 or so.There is a twin to it somewhere out west, I have a copy of the build sheet and they are 7 numbers apart.I have owner history to new and pics dating to the early 70s'.The car was raced hard and put up wet,like most were.

I believe its Socal twin was in / was a Car Craft magazine car. I believe it was one family owned, all original with stickers and lettering last time I saw it..

Your car looks great, keep up the good work!

Cool Project. I really liked looking at the photos through the years. Kind of went from being beat, to nice and then back to beat again. Reminds me of my Gold Barracuda in my sig. Now, I have it back and I need to do what you are currently doing to yours. Paint looks pretty nice from the pics. Keep up the nice work.

Is that the one that Shawn ended up with?

I though there was a blue 440 67 Valiant with fenderwall header that went to Kevin's in early 90's.

The car was owned and raced by Bud Lefevere in stock,mainly d/sa with a 383 as the 440 was not competive in c/sa at the time.Bud never said what it ran,just said it was not a good combo then. As for the car now Ive been working on our drag pack Challenger and haven't even looked at it in 3 months,but I plan to get back to work on it next week.Here are a few more pics if they will load

BTW. I love the Dart Completely. I want to restore my Dart to be similar to yours, just with a HEMI, HEMI Hood, black vinyl top, nice chrome rims and basically just a complete restomod instead.

Call Mike he will sell you just the peices you need or whatever, they have the pads and all the plastic trim. I don't think anyone is repoping the switch bezels or knobs yet.

My main problem is that I have a small tear by the steering wheel so I would like to just clean the whole thing up.

That's strange. I know of another "M" code Dart that came from the Columbus, Ohio area back in the early 1980's.

By the way your car looks great.

Wow thats a nice job. I lusted after a 340 auto GTS in that color scheme as a kid. When the owner finally said yes he'd sell it to me my Dad said no I couldn't leave it at home as I had just joined the military(I was leaving my Duster there) I have a similar 1 owner car lined up....they said they will only sell it to me....someday

There is a guy out of Ely, NV that has a B5 M-Code GTS, he brought it out to Mopars at the Strip and the Spring Fling, got pictures of it around here somewhere. My B7 M-Code is far from going together, wish it looked like yours!

I have a 383 car also and the 440 is a much tighter fit. The extra width makes clearing the frame at the exhaust manifolds a job.

Once in the car you can see the difference. One is how close the passenger valve cover is to the heater motor,and the manifolds are about an inch or so higher.

Well long story short, I had to take the engine out of the 383 car to fix rear seal leak so I took the things I didn't have for the 440 car off the 383 car and got it running. Motor sounds good no leaks ..yet .. getting real close. I think all I need is to have the grille fixed and stainless trim around the glass polished and a few small details and should be done. Can't wait ,feel like a kid at Christmas.

The heat shield is a repo. I've never seen a real one up close. I understand that the repos are made from a oem part.

Charlie, Tell us all you can remember about this car and yours, maybe your old car will show up. This is the first time I've messed with a bodies, except to cut them up into racecars, and I have to say the big block cars are interesting and underrated to say the least. I think that because of all the unique parts and limited numbers there should be more intrest, but what do I know.

Charlie, I got the car from Joe Ary, he bought it form Bud LaFevre who brought it down from Ohio. Bud bought it from the dealer he was working at in Columbus it was a trade in. I plan to hang on to this one and a '64 Sport Fury 426 4 speed I have and thats it.I'm in New Waverly which is about 15 min north of Conroe. Get the Charger going and come hang out.

The heat shield is a repo. I've never seen a real one up close. I understand that the repos are made from a oem part.
Ray



I have a few original heat shields and 1 repo. I think i remember there being a little difference? I'll have to look again. Maybe get pics if different?


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

Wow, The shot of the drivers side exhaust pipe is impressive! Is that head pipe 2.5? That has to be rough on the starter.

Very nice by the way

I haven't done much lately on the Dart. One of the things I did was put the wheels and tires on and drive it down the street to my office the other day. It lives but still have a way to go.

I've been working on the Dart here and there and it's at the point where I can start driving it and working the bugs out. I'm still looking for a few parts, but it's close. Also this thing is a handful under power, now I know why so few of these survived.
