Cadillac Jack to American Car Nostalgia 1930 - 1980 (all vintage pics)
9 hrs ·
I found this interesting, courtesy of The Hollywood Garage. Behind the scenes production of the television series "Dukes of Hazzard" which ran on CBS from 1979-85. How many General Lees (1968 and 1969 Dodge Chargers) were used? Well according to the crew that built them, 325. There were generally two destroyed on each episode. Towards the end of the series run, it became increasingly difficult to source Dodge Chargers and got to the point that if they saw one on the road they would approach the owner and try and buy it. They also went through countless police cars which wasn't an issue as they had a steady supply of them--most were retired LAPD and CHP cars. A few white 1970 Cadillac De Ville convertibles were also kept on hand for Boss Hogg.

I'd much rather see a 69 Triple Pickle than one more General Lee mess.

sorry, but this is the "mopar-related" section, not C body only. Fair enough? (turn the channel)

that is just sickening to read.

well, sometimes the truth hurts, I don't like it either, but don't forget we are talking the late 70s (still wished they didn't do it, but things were much different then as I'm sure you probably know.)

1971 Hemi Cuda. This is the car that the plastic model was modeled after.

Yep I get it...who at that time could see 45 or 50 some odd years into the future where a clean, solid and otherwise unmolested 69' Dodge Charger would command five figure numbers, easy. They'd **** where they stood.

That's all in the past.
The annoying part is all the "clones" still being built today.
Really, wouldn't an original or restored triple green 69 Charger be more interesting and worth more?

yeah, i see what you mean and tend to agree, but it's like anything else, what does the individual want?
