I dont know if we have a wide arrangement of Dukes of Hazzard fans on the board but as some of you might know I am a huge fan.
I've never seen the topic come up too often on the board.

I heard there's a movie coming out soon about them but I'm not sure if those are just rumors.

Ever since I saw the first episode I was hooked. Dont you wish you had an orange 1969 Charger RT with a rebel flag on the top?

:thumbup: I know I do!

I'm a GM guy through and through, but I have to say that after growing up with the Duke boys, I feel there's just something special about a Hemi Orange R/T Charger.... :thumbup:

I remember playing "The Dukes" with my brother. (He was Luke, and I was always Bo.)

We'd "hood slide" over the top of the picnic table in the back yard, and slide in the window.(over the tables' seat), and tear off over the 32 car jump.

Ah the good ol' days.....

I grew up watching that show. If they showed the re-runs I would still watch them.

Jessica simpson is palying daisy, and I want to say they got willie nelson to play uncle jesse, but I forget who else. Not sure how I feel about it, but it couldn't be any cornier than the show, (it was one of my favorites, but you all know what I mean)

considering the fact that they destroyed a ton of those cars while making the series its a lot harder to find one in southern california its a damn shame, never did care for the show:nono:

www.imdb.com, the movie is real, and I dunno how much i like the thought of it, they have some casting choices i dont agree with and they're going to 'update/modernize' the general.... i think its over before it begins

Someone said they wanted to see reruns? they are on CMT(country music television) pretty much everyday.

Dukes

As we speak they are filming the new movie right now in Louisiana. Supposed to be real close to Gonzales. I have a guy there that I have been buying Chargers from. He has quite a selection that he buys and re-sales. The Movie company bought 2 from him yesterday. I agree with him once the movie comes out you can add about $5,000 to the price of your charger. I have not even started on the 70 Charger I got from him yet but it's great knowing the price went up without even starting on it.
My friend was hesitating about selling these because of destroying them but he said they "Made an offer he could not refuse". They wanted his General Lee but that was not for sale.

For those interested in about 15 Minutes the TLC channel will have a show on Mopar Muscle cars from the 60's & early 70's.

Re-runs are on CMT (country music station) at 9-10 central. I still watch them religiously:thumbup: could it be that Daisy and General Lee just make the perfect combination?:mwink:


Whatever car I get, I'm gonna paint it Dukes style. Probly an 80's Caprice or Cutlass.

9-10 in the morning or at night?

9-10 in the morning or at night?

At night


Wholy Molly 240 Dodge Charger R/T's were used during the making of the seasons only 18 survived and 17 were sold

Mike

 

[Ghetto Jet]

oh man, what is 9-10 central converted to eastern standard time?


and most of the wrecked car's weren't real R/T's.

10-11

yea but a charger is a charger.

 

[Pony]

Here's a picture of my 1970 Charger from around the time of the show. It was a 440, 4 speed, R/T. Some friends and I got a wild hair and did the General Lee theme to it. I got some turbine mags not to long after this picture was taken. My wife was playing Daisy. Every time I parked, kids would hang out hoping to see the Dukes, that was weird until some kid called me uncle Jessie and the car got repainted!!:thumbup:

 

[crazygutgut]

I LOVED that show... I think everyone on my block wanted a 70 charger at that time or they wanted the road runner daisy drove the first season


the general

me and the general

 

[RdNekRatRodr]

even though the Dukes of Hazzard was more of my uncles era, I got to pick up some re-runs when Spike tv used to be the Nashville network. I loved every episode, and believe it or not a ton of people really want there to be more reruns shown, me being one!
YEEEEEEHAAAWWWWWWW:thumbup:

Like XXX... they took 7 1967 GTO convertibles (real GTOs) and hacked and cut them up into some movie car that looks good, but the million-and-a-half gauges look retarded, and so does that hoodscoop modified for the flame throwers. Dig the purple though.

Are they going to use a Chryser 300 N (it should be N, germany must not know america's alphabet)? Oh geez, that's sooo not right. Or a '69 Charger "rollin on dubbbbbbzzzz"? Oh puh-leese.

Hollywood sucks. They take the original, then they wreck it. Look at Vanishing point, the original was better, as was gone in 60 seconds, if you take Elanor (68 Shelby 'stang) out.

They use original cars, then wreck 'em, too.

why don't they swing by year one, buy some sheetmetal, and get a custom built chassis built for the job?

stupid..... why can't they just remake it the way it used to be. Sadly, American Racing doesnt build those wheels that were on the General anymore.
