So I am always looking for a 70 barracuda with M46. 
M46 is the simulated scoops that go behind the doors down by the bottom of the wheel wells.
There were only about 400 of these made and I have been looking for around 15 years. 
Most folks take the BH barracuda's and use them for parts or clone them, throwing away the fender tag.

So since these are just lowly BH cars, most have disappeared. 

If anyone has any leads on one please let me know.  Even if it's a total rust bucket and does not look restorable. 

Would love a build sheet for one as well.  Or old fender tag.   Just looking for anything M46.  tags, BS, ACTUAL SCOOPS.

Has anyone started a registry for these cars yet?

Pretty need option and one I somehow missed.. I wouldn't think they made very many back in the day and after a little research figure they probably didn't last all that long seeing where they are mounted and the quality of the material of the day. Does give me an idea to make some rear brake cooling ducts though..   8)
Mopar or no car!!!

I googled it and saw a few on other sites. Definitely an acquired taste as it does kind of break up the bottom body line.

Here's the factory engineering drawing on paint application for the M46 option...

Refresh my memory:

Wasn't Scott at Harm's Auto going to reproduce these?

Whatever happened on that?

Problem is they are usually photo copies of photo copies and when you enlarge them they look terrible. You would need to find originals....

I have not heard anything lately, however the demand is surely quite small.  I sold the pair I had awhile back; bought them from a guy who thought they were a Mustang part added to his car.   :headbang: Car is now a drag car, I'm not sure about the FT.
