<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. ![]() Year: 1969 Make: Plymouth Model: 'Cuda Price: $73,500 Final Drive: 3.55:1 Odometer: 29,195 VIN: members only Engine HP: 375 Cylinders: 8 Displacement: 440 Transmission: Automatic Floor Shift Gears: 727 Torque-flight Rear End: 8 3/4" Sure-grip Drivetrain: Rear-wheel Drive Body Type: 440 Special Package Exterior Color: Blue Fire Metallic Interior Color: Black The 'Cuda 440 Special Package includes: •440-Cubic-Inch V-8 with 4 barrel Carburetor making 375hp and 480lb/ft of torque •Console and bucket seats •3.55 Sure Grip rear axle •Heavy-Duty Suspension (HD Torsion Bars, HD Leaf Springs, Front Anti-Sway Bar) •Heavy Duty Shock Absorbers, 1" Diameter, Front and Rear •14" x 5 1/2" Heavy Duty Steel Wheels •E70 x 14" Wide Boot Red Streak tires •Dual Hood Scoops and Tape Stripes-Black •Lower Body Stripes - Black •Black Grille •'Cuda 440 callout She is 100% numbers matching, factory installed drivetrain.
