One reason was the all-new Barracuda and Dodge Challenger “pony cars” that Chrysler was conjuring up for 1970. The 1967 Barracuda, while handsome enough, was still a disguised Valiant that really could not compete with its lustier Ford and GM rivals. And to make sure you could stuff every one of the corporation’s hottest engines underhood, the two also were given most of the heftier chassis components from the Plymouth and Dodge intermediates. So the Barracuda and new Challenger were given their own unique E-body shells. And the Dodge Boys wanted a piece of that market, too.

Though it was an extraordinarily difficult assignment, he did it.

Junkyard styling’ I called it: making do by creating something of value mostly out of what’s available. Even the overall length — 188.4 inches — had to exactly match the four-door sedan. I was asked to do some sketches,” Walling recalls. “It was what I call a ‘quick-hitter’ project.
