One-Of-None 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Sedan Heads to Mecum Again​

Custom Four-Door Plymouth Set to Cross the Block July 12th​

When you think of a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, chances are a snarling two-door muscle car comes to mind—maybe a HEMI, maybe a Six Barrel. But what if someone built a four-door version? That’s exactly what the late Dave Walden did, and now his one-of-a-kind creation is set to hit the auction block at Mecum’s Spring Special 2025 in Florida on Saturday, July 12th.

 
Gotta give Dave credit for building this car....But that roofline is absolutely the reason why it hasn't sold....It looks like a hearse or ambulance roofline of the 1960's....The glass is too low and the roof is all over the place...And the back window just looks out of place.And the side profile windows are huge and not proportioned very well.
We all know that the myth of a 4 door Barracuda was started by a person who supposedly saw one at Chrysler headquarters,in an elevator shaft or something. ....And supposedly nobody else remembers a 4 door being built and all of the engineers who worked on the "70 Barracuda line haven't talked about working on a 4 door car...And no photographs of a factory prototype 4 door Barracuda have ever surfaced...You would think that there would at least be factory photos of a car as different as a 4 door pony car,wouldn't you?....So for Dave to even attempt to take on a project like this that was "remembered" by a single solitary person is bold and brave....But the end result is a caricature of a car....I highly doubt that Plymouth would've built a prototype as awkward looking as this 4 door Cuda.
This 4 door Barracuda myth is almost as bad as the 1970 Hemi Challenger "Black Ghost" street racing king scam.
