Correct answer
Correct AnswerPlymouth Barracuda
Chrysler's E-body platform was used across several cars, starting with the 1970-1974 Dodge Charger and the Plymouth Barracuda of those same years. Chrysler was one of the masters of using the same parts to make multiple cars, even if that meant the individual models had more to do with branding than capability. The major change? Two more inches of wheelbase for the Dodge, for leg room.

Correct Answer1971
The 1970s were an interesting time at the Dodge Marketing Department. The Coronet was on its way out, the Super Bee wasn't selling well, and with the Coronet moonlighting as a station wagon, the two cars were starting to part ways. This was when the Super Bee went from being a hopped-up Coronet to being a bad Charger. As of 1971, the Dodge Charger was to the Dodge Super Bee was the Porsche 911 is to the Boxster today; the Charger was the fancy one, and the Super Bee was the less desirable, "budget muscle car" with the silly name. Soon thereafter, the Super Bee died, only to return as a trim level of the Dodge Charger in 2007.

Correct AnswerRoad/Track
The R/T designation is a trim level available on some Dodge products. In the 1970s, this was the hardcore trim level, allowing buyers to specify their cars with the biggest engines. The Challenger R/T, for example, could have a Hemi so massive that it protruded through the hood of the car, ruining outward visibility but looking totally awesome in the process.

All of these cars were built on the B-body platform. In fact, 18 models made by Chrysler and its sub-brands used the B-body platform. One of the things legendary executive Lee Iacocca took full advantage of at both Ford and, in 1979, Chrysler was to use the platforms to make essentially the same cars with slightly different emphases. Do you want luxury? Buy the Chrysler B-body and the Chrysler Cordoba. Performance? The Dodge B-body, Dodge Magnum. Performance and luxury? The Chrysler B-body, Chrysler 300.

Dodge made a lot of small modifications to the 1972 Chargers of the sporty kind and changed the trim designation so as not to be accused of a bait and switch.

Correct answer
Correct AnswerDodge Beaver
Consider the restraint at the Dodge marketing department. They named the truck the Macho Power Wagon. When given the body of the Plymouth Valiant and tasked with making a crazy muscle car version, they briefly considered naming it the Dodge Beaver. One can only imagine the innuendo the young market for this car would have come up with in the early 1970s if they'd stuck with "Beaver" instead of "Demon."
