Those are the matching heads for it. M Code was the 4V engine in 1970. It's a date coded matching engine.
 
Ki cars...tiny and old when safety didn't count. Took these at a mystery warehouse in Long Beach,Sworn to secrecy! The yellow one is a VESPA 400cc..yup, came company! The wire frame cars were Czech and were covered in fabric on the road.

I don't know why I keep hitting "GT5" the model is "GTS".
 
"When I was a kid" and even after I got out of the Navy in 74 my small town in the N end of Idaho had exactly ONE DKW "Munga." (I had to look that up hell I never knew what it was called). Sort of like the Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Du'yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "Thing" except it had a TWO STROKE ENGINE. I remember once I had words with the owner about the annoying cloud of crap it ejected as it waddled down the road.

Find of the Day: 1962 DKW Munga - Audi Club North America

and of course (not a rally car, but got treated as such...) my first car, Citroen BX
this thing was ahead of its time, fiberglass hood and fenders, factory airride suspension...in the winter it would take almost 10 minutes to get her out of the weeds

The GT5 is a different animal. Made by the same company. Not all Panteras are GT5s.

Elvis owned one and shot it with a handgun when it would not start...supposedly. Others say it was shot on a range when he broke up with his girlfriend.
Elvis shot this yellow Pantera with his personal firearm during a temperamental outburst when he lost patience because the car would not start. The car sustained several bullets. One into the tire, one in the driver-side door and the last bullet went through the steering wheel.
