440 Mcode registry

Ran into a fella at Mid Ohio Mopars swap meet back in May who purchased a 69 1/2 440 ‘cuda and a couple weeks later he sent me a photo of his right fender shield with a 63 painted on it. He said that when he showed it you, you said it was the only one you had seen. While going through my photos for my restoration CD I discovered this photo of my right fender shield. I had looked at this photo numerous times and just now noticed it. Now you have two that you have seen.

My ‘69 M code ‘cuda had the same brace although it was partially hacked out for fenderwall headers. It didn’t appear to have any signs of the other bracket ever being there. Mine was a very early build car so maybe they weren’t putting them on the early built cars.
