If you want to know the actual name for a bodystyle, rather than what marketing determined them to be, this is how it works:
Coupe - a two door vehicle with a sleek roofline. Hence, a '68 Road Runner with a B-pillar is a coupe. A hardtop, a coupe without a B-pillar, would look the same.
Hardtop - see above.
Sedan - a vehicle with a boxier roofline and a B-pillar. Can be a 2-door or a 4-door. A '67 Belvedere I post coupe is really a 2-door sedan. There are also hardtops in this style, such as the 4-door hardtop sedan that first came out in 1956 with some GM models; when it comes to Mopars in the muscle car era, only C-bodies had 4-door hardtop sedans.
Still confused? 
Not sure what you count as the muscle car era but there were 4-door hardtop b-bodies.

The OP was asking about 68-70 B-bodies, and I would have to say there are no 43 style (4-dr htp) made.
41 style, 4dr sedans, yes.

Good point, Nick, but indeed that's out of context.
Well you're the one that said "muscle car era"...
