The very first one used in episode one will be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson (on SPEED) tomorrow night!

^That's correct, the Challenger does not have the black grill cover hiding the headlights, the Charger does.
As far as the body, the only major difference between '69 and 70' were the rear tailights.
But, 1970 is the year Dodge introduced the infamous 440...:bowdown:

The Challenger was introduced in 1970, not the 440. The Charger had this option from 1967 onward. The '68 Charger's in Bullitt were 440-powered, and unmodified as well...

 
I doubt the general lee was even tuned much less driven by anyone but the production staff. and the 70 charger in the game looks like the General Lee if u paint it Matte orange. its a standard so not race modifiable.
 
I've got mine too :P

I read they wrecked about 300 Chargers doing the show. I'll bet that put a dent in the remaining population.

I still want the exact car as DLC, but I wonder how much crap they would get about the rebel symbol on the roof. Also, I wonder how friendly Sony is with WB. WB seems to be out to extract every dime they can from the property.

Let's get Boss Hogg's Caddy and Daisy's Jeep while we're at it.
 
You might wish to try the game Driver San Fransisco for your Dukes of Hazard fantasies, not only does it include a Charger but there's even a 'movie-mission' where you are chased by period police cars down a dirt road driving an orange Charger.
It even has the right pastiche soundtrack for that mission.

Yep, I think it averages out to about 1 car per episode, or at least one car per massive jump. And out of all those, only a handful are still around somewhere. Some have been restored or are in that process, others are just buckets of rusting steel or unfortunately a long-ago cube. If you want some stuff to read, Inside Line covered a restoration a few years back, and the Smith Bros. have a few under their belts.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought that game during the Steam sale, but haven't had time to check it out... it just got bumped up to the top of my backlog list. Quick off-topic... you younger gamers, savor getting to spend hours and hours with various games, cause once you got kids, your free time is gone. And you'll get a 100 game backlog.
