Default Re: 4-Door Barracuda

Good point. Sure it has a somewhat bigger rear seat and 2-extra doors so could be <span style="font-style: italic">somewhat</span> useful....

The 4-door trunk looks to be the same size as the two door model. If you've been around Chrysler E-bodies you'll know this tiny trunk and decklid opening won't fit a stroller - or a suitcase! It would barely fit one diaper bag. LOL.

My two cents. The &quot;smart money&quot; would've been to consider a sporty model of Chrysler's 1971 Plymouth B-Body Satellite 4-door. It could've used a 340 engine with dual exhaust, rallye wheels, buckets seats and console, maybee a blacked-out grille, subtle stripes, badging, etc if they really wanted to appeal to the young family market as you suggested. It would likely have been shot down, but 90% cheaper than the tooling to build a 4-door Barracuda.
