Julius engine bay restorations are among the best. This red rocket was formerly owned by NHRA legend Joe Amato (a.k.a. Joe Tomato for his penchant for red race cars). Nose heavy like a ****, we love the manual brakes and manual steering. Too bad Chrysler never offered these 440 A-bodies with 4-speeds.
Even with the console shifted 727 Torqueflite, these cars are simply brutal in the best sense of the word.

Do you know the current owner of this red 440?

That red 69 440 'Cuda that sold for $48K had the original motor, buildsheet, correct 440 only manifold and I think even window sticker. Very documented and all original sheetmetal. Very tough to find an original M -code with that pedigree. Restoration costs to that level are $60K and up to have someone else completely do the car.

The blue car the original poster is talking about is missing some very expensive hard to find items. Then the car will have to be restored.
