i downloaded the Federal Registry you cited which is from 1971 and is 152 pages!! i read the section on headrests - also called "head restraints." it is very interesting stuff from a "lawyer" perspective. thanks again for this information.

LOL! thank you for posting those Regulations!! i've been retired from my law practice for a number years but i always enjoy reading regulations written so no one can understand... thanks... :0)

i always wanted a M-Code Cuda and finally found one several years ago. it was a cut up 426 Hemi drag car in Boston ten years ago then it went to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to a mopar racing guy who put a 440 in it. i was able to buy it from him as a roller with no racing parts. i then had the...

sadly, the autonews website won't let you read this article unless you buy a subscription. that publication has a lot of good car news but i already have too many "on-line" subscriptions. maybe you could summarize what the article says?

davescuda.... i'm wondering if i could add my M-Code fastback to the Registry? please tell me how to do that and what documentation you need. i can send you pics of the dash VIN tag and the body numbers on the radiator support and rear trunk lip. Thanks... Jim Coster, Pittsburgh, PA

I'm pretty sure Federal Regs for mandated headrests were not mandatory until the 1970 car model year. that is why for mopar, the "high-back" bucket seats were in everything. the higher back fulfilled the "headrest" safety regulation.

i have two cars that i would like to "farm out." one is my "prize" - a 69 fastback M-Code 440 Cuda and the other one is a "numbers matching" fastback 69 Formula S 383 4 speed. i'm not in to "trailer queens" but prefer nice "driver condition" cars. both cars have great bodies but need to be...

LOL! it's ironic you should mention Arlington Auto Body. i've been at that shop several times and the last time i was offered a job as a bodyman to start "immediately." i laughed and thanked them for the offer but said i have a bunch of my own cars that i can't get done... LOL! and as to...

hi dadsbee.... i can really relate to your story. i have 7 68-69 Barracudas and i started on one 68 when i returned from Iraq in 2006. it was my "therapy" due to PTSD. i invested around 2600 hours in that car and did it all myself. now i'm a bit older and don't have as much energy as i had...

i don't want a "trailer queen" restoration because those jobs are VERY expensive and then you're afraid to drive it afterward. i would like to find a shop that does "nice driver quality" work.

hi Steve, thanks for the information about Khors Kustoms. i did not know about that shop. i will contact them to feel them out. shipping cars has become very expensive now so i'm trying to find a shop not "too far" from Pittsburgh, Pa.

I have been watching Graveyard Carz since the first show. And a long-time member here at FABO - Cuda Dad - has had Mark Worman restoring his 69 A-57 Cuda for the last NINE YEARS. It appears that GYC's now has the car finished. Nine years is a LONG time to wait for a car to be restored. There...

by chance, do you have one driver's side motor mount left for the 440 M Code? a repo is fine. please let me know...

no, sadly, the M-Code car has not been getting much love lately. i've gotten side-tracked on the remolding of two houses i bought and the cars are just sitting around. ironically, i bought a new Challenger Hellcat 6 speed and have been driving that to the local car shows because my real...

well, i guess EVERYTHING i thought i knew about the value of mopar muscle cars is probably now out of date and inaccurate. my thoughts on the value of 69 M-Code Cuda's being "around" $75-80k???? LOL! a beautiful, "almost" perfect red 69 M-Code Cuda fastback just sold at the Indy Mecum...

i didn't buy that car. i have 7 Barracudas right now - 5 complete cars and 2 parts cars. but if i had more room, i might have bought the noted car for the $8500 listed.

do you have any further information on the 69? were you able to clarify the legal/ownership status of the car? i still might be interested in this car as a parts car. jim coster, pittsburgh, pa

i would certainly be interested in "learning" how many M-Code Cudas were "actually built" in late November and early December of 1968. as i'm sure you will agree, the M-Code Cudas were "1969 model year" cars only. as to the 1968 150 speedometer - do you know if any of the November/December...

i agree. 1969 "model year" was the only time the M-Code 440 Cudas were built and these cars were actually "built" in the calendar year 1969 (after January 1, 1969) as they were "second half production" models like the A12 "69 1/2" Roadrunner and six pack Superbee. the A56 (340) and A57 (383)...

thank you for posting this video of a guy actually cutting various oil filters apart so everyone could see the differences. these are always THE BEST kind of comparison videos because there is no debate about someone's "opinion" - everyone can see the difference for themselves and just make up...

is Rotella 15/40 a synthetic oil? and where do you buy Wix filters? i live in Pittsburgh, PA and i don't think i've seen those filers around here.

thank you for posting that service tip on the fuel filter....

i never thought about the clear plastic fuel filter. i suspect the plastic can degrade and crack and start leaking gas. thanks for the suggestion, i will change that.

LOL! yes, the way i drive this car, i'm surprised my battery hasn't been thrown out through the grill already! all the original gages work in the car and the oil pressure is always mid-gage or higher. i checked the dipstick last night and the oil is pretty dirty. the lifters may just be...

I took my 68 Barracuda 340 4 sp to a car show Sunday and noticed lifter tapping for about 15 minutes before some driving and engine heat-up quieted down the motor. This was the first time I had the car out since winter so it had sat for 7 months without being started. My 340 is stock and I...

hi Shayne.... i sent the seller of the $8500 Barracuda a message last night and he sent me a message today saying it was still available. if you are interested, i would go to the facebook ad and send him a message telling him you are interested. now, i have NO IDEA if this guy or this ad is...

this car is listed in a mopar group on Facebook. here's the link. i don't know if it is still available but you could probably send the seller a message and ask. the name of this group on Facebook is: Save The Mopars - Buy, Sell, Trade.

i will not criticize anyone for whatever they want to do regarding talking about a sales price or a purchase price for their car. i will only say that i have no problem telling people what i have paid for my cars as i intend on keeping them. when i have offered "my opinion" of the value of a...

i'm working on a couple of "flip" houses i have right now and we are finishing off the attic of one of them. i went to Home Depot for 7/16th OSB and they wanted $46.00/sheet. so i went over to the plywood section and picked up 5/16th plywood for $42.00/sheet. i have never seen plywood cheaper...

hey barbee... i think you're WAY out of line!! everyone knows that you can pick up new 3500 Dooley with a Cummings for MUCH less than $8k!!
