The answer to this question has haunted me for years and after many, many internet searches, I have yet to turn up any answers.

How many Dodge Chargers were destroyed through out the filming of "The Dukes of Hazard" (1979-85).

 

[Shattered]

There were a total of 309 "General Lee" cars (some of them were 1968 and 1970 model Dodges) created and mostly destroyed during the series. About 20, in various states of disrepair, still exist.

Cool. I've had this discussion more times than I care to mention. Now I have the answer.

I think I tried everything but! Typical, always ignoring the obvious.

awww...they all answered it for me...i didn't see the post in time.

my neighbor has a 79 charger, but its painted yellow not orange...if it was my car, i would paint it just like the General Lee...

Weird. I just watched the Dukes on the Entertainment channel a couple of weeks ago. It said they had a total of 36 General Lees with 12 in operating condition at all times and only one survivor being the original one. I will believe the link in Shattered's post before I believe E though.

From the link"

They crashed a lot of cars filming this show. Replacing the police sedans was easy - replacing the old Dodge Chargers ("General Lee") was not as they weren't made anymore. It got to the point where producers would spot a Charger on the street and would approach the owner and offer to buy it on the spot

What a waste, I'd tell them to :fu2:

You mean to tell me that Chargers were actually harmed during the filming of the show??????? I'm reporting them to NASCAR !

I was more worried about the car in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Waaaay Cooler vehicle than an old muscle car....

Of course it was a kit made to look like the vehicle. Even in the movies they don't destroy cars that are worth several hundred thousand dollars.
