Just one car , it is still around m, I believe Steve Juliano had it
Steve had it and it was restored in it's "white" version.  It was in its orange state for a long time before it was restored in the white version.  He sold it to a collector in NJ who also owns some of the other cars Steve owned.  Steve brought it to MCACN in 2011 and I'm glad I got to see it then, as I've heard the collector in NJ doesn't take his cars out to show.

the Diamante isn't quite "restored" it has simply been repainted - the chassis, interior, underhood, etc. are typical low mile, 50 year old, used, "showcar"

IMO the nose on the Diamante is from the PROTOTYPE T/A Challenger that started planning in mid-'69 during the "areo wars" & many planned/proposed radical modifications never saw production due to the ~2500 car SCCA requirement

:notsure: there has to be pictures out there somewhere

& the wheels on the Diamante are what was scheduled to be a 1971 model year 15" (W23) aluminum wheel

it suffered the same fate as the infamous '1969 "recall wheels", although the recall notices went out before '71 production started (yet, there are a number of cars coded for them)

Closer to home;M46 Barracuda's
Some rare combos, especially with the verts!

BH23 w/A93 & M46 - 2
BH27 w/M46 - 20 to 22
BH23 w/M46 - 433 to 445

Are these production numbers?  Where did these numbers  come from?

Came from 6bblgt on Moparts. 2008 data;

Here are some M46 numbers from another source in 2007 (Cuda Hunter): he is a strong advocate of the M46 cars.
18 6 cylinders
415 V8
21 Convert
2 Coupes
They are pretty rare!

GG's "white book" show 1970 US spec. (Y05) BH23N0B with A93 & D32 at 2 cars, your CANADA spec. (Y07) car would be in addition to that

any progress on the car?  got pics?

Yep, restoring parts right now before I tear it apart this winter to start body work.

Does that A93 have M46 on the fender tag?

How about a Dodge concept car called the "Deora"
Modified Dodge A-100 pickup
Showing in the 1967 Detroit Autorama

What was even cooler: the Deora's hot slant six engine
The Deora boosted the slant six's power by using an Offenhauser intake manifold with dual carburetors.
