Several 'General Lee' Dodge Chargers, famous from the 1979 TV show 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' have been discovered in a Georgia junkyard. These iconic 1969 Chargers, known for their distinctive bright orange color and thrilling stunts, are now in a state of decay and neglect. During the show's production, about 300 Chargers were destroyed for stunts, but 18 were preserved for their on-screen appearance. Intriguingly, not all vehicles used in the show were Chargers; some were cleverly disguised cars of different makes.

The discovery, revealed on Instagram, indicates these decaying Chargers may be connected to the 'Northeast Ohio Dukes' and stuntman Raymond Kohn, who are known for reenacting stunts from the show. However, it's unclear if these cars were actually used in the original series or if they are replicas made after the show's conclusion.
