According to wikipedia, "The redesign for the 1970 Barracuda removed all its previous commonality with the Valiant. The original fastback design was deleted from the line and the Barracuda now consisted of coupe and convertible models. The all-new model, styled by John E. Herlitz, was built on a shorter, wider version of Chrysler's existing B platform, called the E-body. "
So yeah, the Cuda was shorter, but it was wider.
The 67-69 were much better-looking. 1970 marked the beginning of ugliness for just about every American car, IMO.
