No, you are all wrong, the challengers were made longer to make them uglier!
Not exactly, they were made longer so they had an excuse for why they were ugly.
Oh, that makes perfect cents!
As opposed to error coins?

Back then Dodges always had a longer wheel base than a Ply. Every body style in a Dodge did. I think it went way back to when Plymouth was a cheaper car line.
I don't buy this as I know a Roadrunner/Gtx and a Coronet/Superbee are the same. I used a Roadrunner driveshaft in a Coronet before.
Atleast the one I sold the guy was out of a 69 RR and he stuck it in a 69 Bee.....
Roadrunner and Coronet are not the same wheelbase going by Mopars listed wheelbase's. Will the driveshaft interchange ?? Maybe as they are only 1" difference I believe but as was stated Dodges usually have the longer wheelbase then the same Plymouth. No one has ever told me why but I just figured it has to do with Dodge being considered the higher model line then Plymouth. Maybe they feel the longer wheelbase gives a better ride ? Ron

So no one really answered the question asked - on all models across the board is the difference between the front and rear seat pans or after the rear axle?
A body was rear floor pan. B body had 2 different front spring hangers, Dodge was 1" longer. E body I don't know but the Challenger does have a larger trunk lid.

The wheelhouses are different between b-body cars for 69 and I think the trunk gutter is longer on the Dodge.
