I will get a few posted. Couple are ready for paint. done in red oxide primer over the grey sealer. Soon to be assembled with original drive trains. Tripped over these cars looking for parts for a father son project that involved the triple black car and a 340 coupe that was not a Formula S or Cuda' - son enjoyed the hobby, learned how to be mechanical and got to drive either of the two depending on the weather or his mood to high school. Drove the convertible to his senior prom. I got to drive a 1966 clunker to high school in 1979. Not quite the same statement
It would be one to modify... 3rd Gen Hemi with a 6 speed manual transmission. That's what I would do with it
Yep, thats one sweet peice of mopar history.
1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years
UPDATE May 21, 2024 Welcome, for those of you reading this build for the first time, the car is done and I could not be happier with the result. It took 1 year to complete. Thanks for following along. Hello all, found the forum searching for info on the 1969 Dodge Dart we just received...
This is very true for the 66 model, and the red one would be a great car for mr (or anyone to go snag up in Michigan, a great daily driver, disk breaks, 273 built correctly in my book, I have a convertible top installer in Memphis that would love to put a new top on it.. thinking I should drive this up there and see if he needs a great solid low mileage 2008 silverado 4x4 .. and drive that drop top 273 Valiant back home to Arkansas

This is the only 68 Barracuda 340 4 speed formula -S Coupe Export car

Ultra rare :
1973 Dart Sport 340 built for Export, sent to AMAG Switzerland and finished there - with special interior - Recaro buckets.
This one lives in Switzerland, but MoparMike1974 on Fabo has a nearly identical car.
I know only of these 2 cars.

I absolutely LOVE the coupe/notchback cars.
This is an A56 car loaded with options including A/C, AM/FM, Rear Defrost, R6 Buckets and Console, Automatic, Tach, 3.55 Gears with max cooling package that includes a power steering cooler, Red Fender Well Liners, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Locking Gas Gap, and came with painted white steel wheels. Car is currently under construction fixing body work. Will be a stunner when complete. Cuda' Package with more options checked than any other car I have owned.
1969 Notch 340 - Built like Formula S but just a plain jane coupe with a bunch of options with A4 Silver paint and original black interior. A/C, Rally Dash, Power Brakes / Steering, Tach, Disc Brakes, Suregrip. Original Cali Car, rust free. Son got to drive this one to high school
1969 A56 Car - Have this from the original owner - No Frills Cuda'- I think I have a buyer for this one........hoping he materializes!! (you know who you are). My wife does NOT want me to continue buying.....(finish what you have started I keep hearing) nod to the rarest being " a finished A-Body)
How many do you have ?
There are several members here who have 1969 M code cars and 1968 Hemi cars. I'd imagine those are among the most rare.
This one is the 1969 T5 Coupe A57 Car - 1 of 23. Couple pics, this one is ready for assembly. Couple shots, one as found that had been in storage for 30 years - it was all there, just missing the hurst shifter and wood knob. Totally documented, stripped and unibody painted. Should be ready to assemble but have another project ahead of it for immediate assembly. this is a no frills car with black interior, bench seat 4 speed, and white vinyl top. Will be a nice looking car.
Would think they are the most desirable
Might be more rare cars

In high school had a friend with a (think 69)340 s coupe b5 4 speed loved that car
It was already fading and beat-up in 1980

I've told this story here before. I went to school with a guy who had a 69 Road Runner. The paint was still fair. It was plum crazy and it was original. His Uncle bought the car new from Century Dodge Chrysler Plymouth in Macon. We all "thought" high impact colors started for the 1970 model year, but here it was. 383, 4 speed with an 8 3/4. I don't know whatever became of that car. I need to call Terry and ask him about it.
This was the other car by kid and I switched up with. He drove this to prom..... This was actually painted white with black stripes and Cuda Stickers and hood scoops while the kid drove it (I always like the Cuda' look) recently changed it back. Motor now is strong 360, aluminum heads, roller rockers, etc etc. great stereo......original triple black 318 car with bench seat and column shifted. now buckets with console. convertibles are rarer, triple black was probably not a rare combination but desirable. Have a 6 pak hood scoop on the current hood with flat paint and black clearcoat everywhere else
Kid graduated a few years ago, all the other kids were driving their parents modern cars and he hated the thought of driving an old jalopy. soon he was dating the captain of the girls varsity soccer team and he kept getting the attention and all of a sudden the car(s) became his alter ego. every so often he had to settle for a minivan or a dodge 1500 and he prodded me to fix or adjust what was needed to put the old BCuda's back on the road. Cheers from San Diego.
7?? and my own junk yard of parts to help finish these projects. Did not share the A53 H-Code convertible. Body complete, all mechanicals rebuilt B7 / B5 / white top. Will come together. Need two more years to finish all the rest of these. Final project will be the other A57 4 speed coupe.
If anyone wants to help......I think I have bit off more than I can chew

I remember years ago when this was for sale.

This car was well known around Washington. I sold it to Jim Hackett in the mid 70's. He loaned it to one of the Cooper brothers who wrapped it around a pole near the old American Can on Rte 31.
