They must have made hundreds of those for the show.
Our friend Harold (aka "Red") Hodges was the Michigan representative for Carl Casper auto shows. He made at least a couple dozen General Lee's for car shows here, after which they were shipped back to California for use in filming. Very haphazardly put together: Push bars and "roll bars" were made out of exhaust tubing, etc. The guy doing the stripes, John Chapin, could paint the flag on the roof start to finish in the length of time it took me to drink a 12 oz Coke. Towards the end the donor vehicles were getting pretty picked over and were, as a result, mostly bondo. He said "if you are watching and you see a big pink cloud after the car lands, you'll know it was this one... K
