2. SIDEBAR:
   No one really knows for sure but I’ve read that the best estimate is somewhere over 300 (THREE HUNDRED) 1969 Dodge Chargers were used to depict the General Lee over the life of the series. There was a fairly high attrition rate, duh.

   I suspect this wasn’t a real 69 Charger. It’s probably a racing chassis wrapped in aftermarket sheet metal.
   In one video you can see the driver bouncing around when it hit the street. That guy is nuts!

5. According to Google Earth map,
   The location of that first place
   Is now a suburban cul-de-sac
   Back then it was a closed ended dirt road in the woods
   The Whoop-de-do drop you had to hit at 60
   Is now a 30 or less avenue with red lights

    I know the guy that scoured the countryside for 69 Chargers for the show. As the 69’s got scarce they used 70’s swapping out the grills. He found some special editions and one-off’s that he purchased for himself. He drove a Charger the rest of his life.
