Anyone know the cubic feet for a `69 Barracuda notchback's trunk?

 Not sure of the exact measurements, but with the back seat laid down and the trunk divider laid down its big enough for "the first time".   :D :droolingbounce: :wow:

Thats not saying much... We were much smaller then & able to accomplish amazing acts of contortionism (is that a word :roflsmiley:)  Heck I took care of business quite a few times in the back seat of my Challenger.... Now when I climb back there by myself these days to clean the back glass it feels cramped & uncomfortable...  :smilielol:

Racer57, considering that my "first time" (in a car, at least) was in the back of 1984 Plymouth Horizon, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your observation. LOL!   

But. . .getting back on topic:  I've been doing research for a book I'm writing on the cargo volumes of various muscle & pony cars from the '60s & '70s.  I've had great success getting both the manufacture's and SAE cu ft. cargo (trunk) volumes for Chevy, Ford, etc.  But, for some reason, I'm having no luck with Plymouth.  I keep finding "N/A" (as if the cars didn't possess a trunk!) Aside from the `69 Barracuda notchback, I'm also searching for the cargo volume for a `65 Barracuda and a`68 Road Runner. 

I realize that my focus is on the 'opposite end' (i.e. not the engine) of the car that most folks on this discussion board are interested in, but does anyone have a suggestion (web site, book, etc.) for me?
