To give credit where it's due, the 440-powered compact Dart package was originally conceived and executed in 1968 by Chicago dealer Norman Kraus (Mr. Norm) and his Grand Spaulding Dodge dealership. He was the Don Yenko of the Mopar world and had already raised eyebrows and helped lower e.t. 's in 1967 when he installed a 383 in a Dart and dubbed it the GSS, after the factory's insistence it couldn't be done. When he proved the folks in Highland Park wrong, they launched the Dart GTS with the same, impossible-to-fit RB big-block.

The next year, he doubled down with the 440 in his Dart GSS, with at least 50 produced to make the cars eligible for NHRA Super Stock competition. Again, Mother Mopar followed suit and offered the factory-official, M-code, 440-powered Dart GTS in 1969. Total GTS production for 1969 was 6,285 hardtops and 417 convertibles. Only 640 of the hardtops were M-codeequipped
