As many of those cars that got jumped and wrecked, surely, surely, some how, some of them have survived, and not been fixed, and some guy somewhere, has a wrecked one on his property somewhere, he tells a story like "this one was used in the jump in episode blah blah...."

Surely, theres a guy like that somewhere, who has as wrecked General Lee, just one of the many random Chargers, painted up like the General Lee, and then jumped, and then scrapped.

I assume, they used parts from some of them, and many were sold to junk yards and or whatever the case may have been....... but, surely, some have survived and are just sitting around somewhere, wrecked still from the jumps?

Maybe even, somebody who owns a few or more General Lee's formerly jumped in certain random episodes through out the course of the shows run on TV.

Who got those cars, once they were officialy done with ,like, they were hauled off and stored away somewhere, all wrecked, just put away while the show was still on the air actively, and these cars just sat around incase parts might have been needed off of them? Or they were just hauled off, and they didnt worry if they would need any of the parts later or not?

I just wonder, about these cars, and also, the patrol cars, same thing, surely, out of all of the ones wrecked, jumped, etc, some of them have to have survied the test of time, and have either long ago been fixed up, or are still sitting somewhere, actualy still wrecked from the jumps they made with them.......... somebody please bust out with some info on this.

A few of them were cut up to be cannibalized for other Generals. I've run across several cars over the years used in movies that had General Lee paint under blacks, greens, and white exteriors.

Only 22 cars officially remain of the approx 300 give or take(Cooter says 309) that were used on the TV series.I don't count the ones used for the 05 Movie or the Beginning they aren't true Generals in my opinion. WB cut the roofs off any to be sent to the crusher at least from about season 3 on. There are rumors of some being stolen from WB back in the day off the set or on their way to the crusher or from the junkyard.Rumors that's all.They re-used as many parts as possible. Anyone out there claiming they have a genuine General actually used on the TV series saying it slipped out under WB noses is either lying or they are in possession of stolen property.WB controlled these pretty closely. So if anyone out there says my nephews second cousin has a genuine General Lee from the TV series he found in Georgia or California supply me the VIN number and I know someone that could confirm if it is legit. http://www.dohgltruth.com/

Thanks for the replies.... no, I can't say I've run across anyone saying they have an original that slipped away from WB. Just was curious that maybe some of them are still out there.... untouched following the damages that happened after jumps. Thanks again for the replies.
