Just wondering how many E-Body lovers have ever seen a true M46 option Barracuda with all the paint work done as it is suppose to be.

I want to see who knows what they are.  I have two to three places on this site with pictures of my car.  There were not very many made.  I will put a picture of one on here if everyone wants but I think it would spoil my pole

In real life seen or just in pics?  I think I've seen only yours and Moparal, maybe one other in pics...

What I was really asking about is in real life.  I know until I bought the one I have I had never ever seen or heard of one,

  I have physically seen the stripes and some of the original black out paint on my M46.  That is the only one I have seen.  Original stripes though, mostly gone.

Here is a picture of my lemon twist m46 I sold. It was rather a solid car. I have owned 2 of them. Barry has the build sheet and other documents to this car. Not sure if the pic will work.

Back in the early 80's there was a red Barracuda with a 383 that was M46 equipped. I did not know wtf one was for sure till I asked about it on this site a while back. I have yet to see a picture that does it justice, it looks cool. The car I saw did not have the blackout paint on the bottom of the car though, just the scoop which was black. I am almost positive it was the original paint too.

so is it just the number 20 option or are there stripes associated with this?
