My 1969 M Code 440 Dart GTS
I don't mind hearing any other "oddities." Interesting.
Well, they had a limited warranty, 12 month 12,000, but no drivetrain warranty from the u-joint back, no P/S, A/C, P/B or PD/B, all automatics 727 big block housing with the short "A" body tail shaft (no 4 spds. since Chrysler required Dana’s with all manual transmissions for 440’s, 440-6, and 426), all came with 3:55 ratio but you could option for a 3:91, they were a mid year option for the GTS engine, Chrysler even retro fitted some with the 3 x 2 carb setup (quickly rejected that because of traction problems), a brake proportioning valve heat shield came on them and probably on the 383 cars. It is controversial but Chrysler has been reported to have built these cars as 383 cars minus the engine/transmission and wreckered them nearby to Hurst-Campbell for completion. The radiators are hard to find since they were 22” three row, part no.: 2949065, I had to buy a whole car once just to get the radiator out of it ( 1968 Dart 383 car with the ‘69 radiator in it). Google Hemmings 2010 M, M Good 1969 Dodge Dart GTS for a good tech read.
