Hi Folks,          22 Feb 2026

I remember an episode of "Dukes of Hazard"where the Charger they were driving was a "Dodge Charger 500" based on the rear window having the 500 Plug in it. Wasn't a regular viewer of the show, just happened to notice the 500 Roof line.

I have no idea what year that was or where I was. Most likely I was in Texas at the time as that's where I lived most of my life.

Did anyone here see that same episode?

Thanks

I was an avid fan of the show but I don't recall that episode. I have most of the series on DVD. If there was a 500 used, it must have been for something very short to have not been noticed.

I guess the producers would have taken any old Chargers to morph into GLs at one stage.
With the abundance of sheet metal from wrecked cars, it would have been easy to swap out the front clip of the 500 and hope the car wasn't filmed from the wrong angle.

I agree.
I remember seeing 1968 models used in the early seasons. Their budget must have been tight because the side markers were still in place and painted over.
Over the years there have been a few articles about the cars they used. The most recent ones claimed that NO Hemi cars were ever used, only ONE car had a 4 speed, NO 1970 models were used due to the different front end design.
I still love the show. I find it to be a lot of fun.
