Does this look familiar?

[ranma]

First off I plan on making a replica of the '57 Chevy 150 From the movie Drive Angry. While looking for pictures, I noticed the '69 Charger looked quite like the '69 Charger that would be Painted a red/orange color with 01 painted on the door's ( Happy Birthday General Lee Episode) NOTE the wheels.....

Can't be the General Lee, it's not wrecked ---- yet.

Seriously, probably was one of the last ones that never got jumped. But leave it to Hollywood to find a way to completely eliminate all 69 Chargers off the face of the earth.

actually that one could be a leftover from the 2005 movie, the leftovers from the tv series were already in private ownership by then, the included pic if I remember correctly is how the Charger registry found them before they were sold off, several tv series from the 80s early 90s used leftovers from the show, there's one in a Knight Rider episode and they blow up a Cooter's wrecker in the X files

the TV show only wrecked 300 or close to that  68-69 Chargers, which back then wasn't a big deal they were just old cars which they made a great number of and the scrapage rate was very high anyway, I lost count of how many semi rare muscle cars I used to see walking around in scrap yards back in the 80s. what's sad now is the classic cars that are now considered scarce or rare  that they are still wrecking for movies

I never watched the show but I heard that one point late in its run they were reduced to using AMC Matadors as victim cars.

only as police type or get a way type cars, but they did use models

Looks like you could build that from the current reissue, right out of the box.

And it's not like those wheels were incredibly rare.

I had no idea models were ever used. Fascinating.

There was an identical Charger used as the bad guy's car in an episode of Street Hawk too.

 

And yes, the guy at the computer console as well as the guys in the Charger should look familiar

Almost forgot about the Death Proof Charger too.

Wouldn't take much to make this car from one of the Dukes kits too.
