Some things are just not meant to be

[Ghoste]

Not my taste anyway.

[stripedelete]

It looks very AMC

[Ghoste]

Yeah, it just makes me think, "Why?".

[b5blue]

Needs wire wheel hubcaps....and a roof rack.

[twodko]

A shaker hood, rear window louvers and side pipes peeking out just forward of the rear wheels.

I think it looks better as a station wagon than a 4-door sedan.

I think it looks better as a station wagon than a 4-door sedan.  

I was thinking the same thing. It isn't terrible looking as far as wagons go, but wagons were rarely good looking cars to begin with.

Looking at it again I think that the missing pillars between the front & rear doors are what gives it a better appearance.  

[TUFCAT]

A four door sedan Barracuda would be completely useless based on the size of its trunk....but what do I know? 

[John_Kunkel]

Challenger 2-door wagon.

[Old Moparz]

Challenger 2-door wagon.

That one I always liked. 

It was for sale online years ago, but pretty expensive. It's also been at Carlisle & I have photos somewhere.   

[Ghoste]

I do too somewhere but no idea where.  I'm sure the photos I have are of a purple one though, more than one maybe?

[Kern Dog]

That picture has been passed around the internet for over a year....Where have you been?

[Highbanked Hauler]

It looks very AMC

    Agreed,it does.

[Dino]

It's weird, disturbing, and insulting.  I like it!

Where can I buy one?

[ODZKing]

Kind of difficult to see, but ...

[TUFCAT]

Not bad for a station wagon! 

[ODZKing]

This was well done, but again ... why?

[TUFCAT]

I remember seeing an article about that car.  Does anybody remember what magazine?  

I recall the guy said he was tinkering with the idea of what Chrysler would bring to market if they thought an El Camino or or Ranchero type vehicle made sense.  He never said anything that CHRYSLER was thinking, dreaming, pondering, discussing, or even drew a single line on a piece of paper about this concept.  

Someone did a good job engineering this build.

A lot of people do this ---Some even may hope to get compensation or a job. 
Most though just have a bug in them and want to make something different.  I saw (on the road) years ago a toronado with tandem axial. It was molded into the body so well it looked factory and was towing a very large house trailer. (No doubt the need for tandem axial.

I personally like this attempt 

[1974dodgecharger]

how about a 4 door charger, oh wait.......

[TeeWJay426]

The purple Challenger doing the burnout at Carlisle belonged to a member here. Screen name escapes me, and don't recall seeing him or the car in years. Also had a cloned 4x4 Superbird, if I recall correctly.....

[Ghoste]

Did he also have the 4X4 GL with the stacks coming out of the deck lid?

[wingcar]

how about a 4 door charger, oh wait.......

I have a picture somewhere of a first generation Charger that someone made into a four door.....not a pretty sight....................But then I guess everyone has to dream....

[Ghoste]

That sounds really horrid.

Marty passed away about five years ago.    His screen name was SunroofSuperbird.

You don't mean a Coronet cloned into Charger do you? You mean a fast back with 4 doors?

Correct..........a Charger with 4 doors.  I believe it was white....

[TUFCAT]

Why ruin a Charger by putting 2 extra doors on it?     I've heard of a Barracuda with four doors, but never a Charger!  

[F8-4life]

The barracuda concept reminds me of the 56-57 buick "hardtop" wagons.

[TUFCAT]

The barracuda concept reminds me of the 56-57 buick "hardtop" wagons.

It was the Buick "Caballero".  By the way GM marketed its "GMC version" of the Chevy El Camino as a Caballero in the 80's.  It must be Spanish for "ugly hybrid thingie".

Yep that's the one, I wish the hardtop pillarless wagon thing caught on.
Seems like they would be a blast to drive windows down and have a more stylish look without the door pillar.

[TeeWJay426]

Did not know that....sad to hear. He was a fairly young guy, guess I know why I haven't seen him or the cars recently. Don't recall seeing anything about his passing on here either. Too bad- had met him and chattd at Carlisle with him; seemed like a good guy, and was an enthusiatic Mopar fan.
