Was there ever a Valiant Barracuda?

So a Valiant with an option is what Chrysler produced to compete with the Mustang?

Actually,

The Barracuda was 'introduced' before the Ford Mustang.

When introduced on April 1, 1964 - the Barracuda was marketed as a High-Performance Valiant 'option',
with a 'powerful' 273/180 HP '2-Barrel'.
