Looking in a Mopar Muscle magazine article by Galen Govier called "By the Numbers" it does show the 69 M-code motor numbers as posted.

It is the 68 M code cars that were much less in numbers. The 68 Dart 440 "GSS" (Grand Spaulding Special) built by Dodge/Hurst was exclusive for Mr Norm with 48 built, 6 surviving today. There were no 68 440 Cuda's on Galen's list.

"Mr Norm's" 68 GSS 440 Hurst Dart was a "sleeper" street car that was overshadowed by 68 Hurst Hemi Darts in recognition. But, I would not hesitate to say that I believe the 68 GSS 440 Hurst Dart would give my 427 Yenko Nova a run for the money at the strip. They were both big blocks with similar body weight. With 6 surviving 68 GSS 440 Hurst Dart's exist, it is of similiar rarity as the 427 Yenko Nova as well.
