4-Door Barracuda

[Beavis]

I have to admit this guy does some amazing work. Nobody is taking away the amount of detail and craftsmanship put into this project.

The real point is that there's been no single shred of evidence that Chrysler Corporation had any involvement in a 1970 4-door Plymouth Barracuda project, or built any such prototype at any level. Not even as a clay design. Someone is trying to insert an erroneous page into Chrysler E-Body history without proof or verification, that Chrysler built a 4-door Barracuda prototype.

Supposedly it was built in 1969 and later destroyed. This story was recently hatched a few years ago from a corporate mail delivery person (allegedly employed in 1969 at Chrysler World Headquarters but never proven) who recently started writing as an automotive journalist/historian.

The article gave witness of a 4-door Barracuda prototype sitting on a loading dock for three days - but sadly there's nobody at Chrysler who could verify this story. There's no pictures, records, or drawings of such a car in the corporate word of Chrysler engineering to date.

Pretend this story involved an alleged prototype build of lets say, a Mustang. You can bet Kevin Marti and the MCA would be going ape crazy. If it was another brand, you can bet the Pontiac, Chevy, Oldsmobile (or any other body that has historical verification of an automotive brand) would also be concerned about historical correctness.

So what's the story from the Mopar guys?

I'd like to hear something from the Mopar camp on this.
