Your posts always leave me scratching my head and hoping that one day you might actually post something useful on this site.

Actually, the original GL was a 1969. A guy found the original 69 promo GL that Warner Bros. built for the show in a junkyard in Dawsonville Ga about four years ago. The car still had the WB number plate below the VIN and everything. The guy restored the car back to original GL "specs." I saw a video about it on you tube and watched a TV show about the "discovery." WB used some 68's and 70's buy changing the rear tailights and the side marker lamps.

You said it had Washington plates? While there are plenty of replicars out there, it may have been this one. Saw it a few years ago @ the yearly car show/cruise-in in Long Beach, WA.

You are correct it was a 1969...

LEE 1,[1] was a 2nd unit car with a full roll-cage. Originally a 383 V8-powered 1969 Charger equipped with air conditioning(A/C), gold body with tan interior, 3 speaker dash, and chrome rocker trim. The car is the only General Lee to have appeared in every episode. After the car had run its course, it was retired to a junkyard in Georgia, but later bought and restored. "LEE 2" was also a 2nd unit car with a full roll-cage and black interior. "LEE 3" was the closeup car. This car is the one seen in early promos with the doors open and no numbers on the doors. This car was a Charger R/T SE. It was powered by a 440 Magnum V8 and also had A/C with power windows.
