[quote name='reckscoop' post='42815' date='Oct 11 2006, 14:50 ']Amen, brother! And shame on those responsible for destroying over 200 irreplaceable '69 Chargers for the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV series ...[/quote]
A lot of the TV show was filmed on my friend's Danny Ogburn's grandfather's ranch in the Hidden Valley/Lake Sherwood area right near my house. It's the area where the Sherwood Country Club is now. (Got to go to the "Boar's Nest" once, although it's just an emtpy facade. They filmed TONS of stuff out there) The producers of DoH would drive through neighborhoods looking for Dodge Chargers and offer the owners cash on the spot for thier cars to supplement the filming. I remember there was a chained lot on his ranch with about 15 "General Lees" parked in it. Wish I had a camera back then, but I was like 10 years old. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Oddly enough, my mom is good friends with John Scheinder, (Super Nice guy, got some really neat DoH memoribila from him) and the orignal cast and producers were shafted by the people doing the movie, so I refuse to ever see it becuase of what they did to the franchise.
Which is what drove Dodge to develop the Challenger. I've seen a custom chop job that made a newCharger into a two door. Pretty cool.

Quote:However, i have my personal opinions that Dodge should never have re-introduced the Charger as a four door sedan. It takes away fromthe muscle car name.
