4-Door Barracuda

[PlymouthX]

Preserving factual history for a manufacturer, be it Chrysler, Chevrolet, Ford, etc.. is part of our Hobby and for the future of our hobby!

It would have behooved the owner to obtain more factual proof of the existance of this "4 door cuda" prior to building this car and creating threads on multiple forums. Furthermore, as the "For B Bodies Thread" Beavis linked here. It displayed an owner who cannot accept any discussion "UNLESS" it is someone who agrees with him. It is apparent that anyone who questions the historical validity of this creation gets bullied into submission by this individual. The only thing the owner can come up with is some fly by night story from a reporter. No pictures, no documentation, no other sightings, etc.

In order to preserve history there has to be factual evidence in multiple forms, not just a single story. If not then it is just an urban legend.

I also do not understand why Chrysler would even consider this type of venture. A 4 door cuda with a trunk that has a "spacer saver" tire in it and even with that you cannot get ONE full-size suitcase in the trunk. The roof does not fit proportionally with the body and as others stated that was a pitfall of mixing two body styles.

Another question is where would have this car been built? Logistically, with all the different parameters from the 2 door line it would have been cost/profit prohibitive for this to occur.

Hi Chargerjoe.........uh......I mean PlymouthX. Could you explain what the purpose was for Chrysler making or why they &quot;even considered&quot; the Concept Car linked below? It didn't even have a Trunk HALF the size of the 1970 Barracuda. They never had any intentions of building this Car so it appears that it was just another &quot;Concept venture&quot; where they wasted money......right? Regarding your logic and argument against a 4 Door Barracuda Concept, why would Chrysler waste money on this Concept if they never planned on building it?
