<span style="font-weight: bold">1969 Plymouth M Code 'Cuda 440 Super-Performance Package
</span>
Mr. Norm Kraus showed the boys at Chrysler engineering that it was possible to stuff a 440 Super Commando motor into the economy minded Dart in 1968 with the help of Hurst/Campbell. By 1969 Chrysler took these conversions in-house to benefit both the Dodge and Plymouth lines. So, the 'Cuda 440 Special super-performance package was born. This is also the first time the now legendary 'Cuda name was ever used on a vehicle.
As Mopar folks well know, vehicles weren't build in strict VIN sequence. The "Special Car Order" document found under the carpet is dated 1/9/69 at the top, the plant approval signature at the bottom dated 1/16. This 'Cuda is listed as "Order no. 1", selling to Johnson Chrysler/Plymouth of New Bern, NC. In the strictest sense, this is the first 440 Plymouth 'Cuda ever ordered.
