Post by: cbrestorations on March 04, 2016, 01:15:29 AM
so the guy who bought my 70 charger is going to clone it into the fast 4 or 5 hero car. he already owns one of the fast and furious chargers along with the surviving xs29 general lee from the tv series. even got a pic with my dog

Hartwig's car.  Niiiice. 

That's one of the most desirable GL survivors.  The only remaining R/T car and a great combo of preservation & resto work.  The exterior still has the original on-set look but the car runs right.

  :2thumbs:    :coolgleamA:  good stuff CBR

     bronze  R/T  eh ,  when I was a kid had a book /magazine   :scratchchin:   ,  one article / story / picture , in there  was !  , I presume it was  WB guys converting a 69 charger into a general lee , ... that was a bronze 69   & had a R/T name plate  in the grill  , think it had a twin snorkel air cleaner  too  , wonder if it was /is the one above   ,  they had a stack of cut off roofs from wrecked GLs  there too   :scratchchin: also I remember in one of the dukes episodes  ,  with Cale Yarbrough I think it was , they had 3 69s painted up as  generals ,one had a blown radiator , before  they painted it orange ! , it  was a bronze ! R/T I think  & had a twin snorkel too , was a long time ago , so may well be getting confused with something else &  could be remembering stuff wrong  , I await to be corrected , by the DOH &  GL charger  guys / Fans   :2thumbs: :cheers:  :coolgleamA:

Here in western WA, there used to be a guy that owned an original GL from the series. Unrestored, welded front valence, spray painted interior, original dixie horns and stuffed full of original DOH merchandise. He would show it at every Mopars Unlimited Spring Roundup. License plate said "IMFOREAL"

Has anyone seen this one lately? I would like to know if it's still around and if the owner is still upright and breathing as he was a real nice guy who would let anyone sit in the car if you asked. I have a picture here somewhere of just that.....

He also had a photo book of when Wayne Wooten went and picked up all the remaining Chargers on a car hauler which showed all of the cars lined up in varying stages of GL transformation, pics of parts and even cars just bought but not yet turned into GL's....really cool stuff!

Yes! Hartwig's car is a nice one.  I met him while they were filming the Autotrader commercial in Louisiana.  This car was there but it was tucked inside the inclosed hauler on the top level.. so I was only able to look at it from underneath.  Thanks for posting
