When you think about it a good bit you realize how much sense it truly makes.

Wasnt a classic back then...I worked at a chevy only wrecking yard in the 70s & 80s....and when i look back at all the cars we parted out
that would be worth a small fortune right now. Z-28 camaros, SS chevelles, corvettes, 55-57 pass cars. They were just wrecked cars back then
and not worth much.

By 1979 chargers were getting a little more collectable . Although I have friend who drove a 68 super bee in high school ( 79-80 ) and we always bugged him about his old pos . When he got something newer he put the bee in a shed , he still has it . They should have used dusters or novas lol .

it was only 320ish cars. Far more were lost sitting behind grandpa's shed. I'll take a blaze of glory over an ignominious death by rust.

Dukes of Hazzard gave a much younger me lots of entertainment and perhaps a couple of fantasies.

No problem wiping out the 68/69/70 Chargers. I prefer the 66/67 models. Still a shame to wipe out so many of them.
If that went through that many Chargers, just think how many 4 door Polara cop cars they went through. I'll bet they wiped out 2 cop cars for every Charger.

I watched the heck out of the show back then....

I find this very difficult to watch, having had to find C body parts for my wagon.

All those stub frames, wasted!

104 cars destroyed. Not a record, but an impressive number.

I want one. And to live up north.
