So, here's my take: I intensely dislike (hate's too strong a word for someone I've never met) TB (Mainly because of what went down with LEE1), so I took it with a grain of salt.
I've been binging Kibbe and Friends, and they actually just released an episode on this:
http://www.themusclecarplace.com/kibbe-and-finnegan/kf-show-165/
The gist is Corndog, one of the co hosts (he also runs the Real General Lee website/Facebook/Instagram page), is a bodyman by trade and says that depending on many different factors, a paint reader can return many variations because it matches the color with a database. Whatever color the paint was sprayed over (T3 Bronze in Lee1's case) can also play a role.
Now, Renaud Valuzet, one of the crew that built a majority of the TV cars (If it's in CA and has the narrow bar, it's 98% likely to be a Valuzet car) told Kibbe at one point they used "Dulux Code 70 Enamel".
Code 70 is the GM color code for 1975 Corvette Flame Red.
I may be messing a bit up, I only listened to it once. But it's worth a listen.
In other words, it's highly unlikely that they specifically went for TNT Express Orange. We'll probably never know unless the guys that built the first 3 Lees ever come out and discuss it (if they're still with us- I don't think I've ever heard who they were, come to think of it).
I've also heard that the first 3 were Hemi Orange, but they didn't like how it showed up on cameras so they switched to Flame Red. The first three may have been repainted Flame Red after Hemi Orange. I don't have a source because I can't exactly remember where I read that.

You'll find that location here in my Hazzard Square thread, along with most of the other California filming locations.
I'll agree with you on the pickup. You hardly ever see this type of truck in Europe.I had a feeling I should have checked there!

What a fascinating story. It has more twists than a Hazzard County dirt road. Thanks for sharing it JRC99 and it sure is good to hear from you again. And HAPPY BIRYHDAY later this week!
Thank you! True to Duke spirit, I'm planning on trying Moonshine since I'm turning 21.

Hey do you have any update to this Lee? Is this a 69 or 68. What was the original color? Is there any sign from where a roll cage was welded to the floor? The 3 chargers that went back to Ca were Lee 3 and the 2 68s built in Ga. So if this is real its either Lee 2 or its the High Octane Lee. From the lack of crash damage to the rear, if it is authentic it has to be Lee 2.
Well, according to this it can't be Lee2. Article claims Lee2's roof was cut off when they built the last GA Lee. The stories on the early cars are so intriguing yet so contradictory.

Can someone remove the watermark, please? This is a fantastic picture!

I at one point dreamed of moving to Covington or Conyers, when I was about 15. But I realized it's too far from my family. So, at 18, I've decided I need to find my own little Hazzard here in Michigan someday.

Okay, I don't know why I can't get rid of the quote, but in Daisy's Song, from the scene of the boys driving to Atlanta, to it showing Daisy sitting in it out back, the General doesn't appear to have a roll bar.

5. You name your kids or animals after characters in the show. (Oh I plan on doing this one!)
I sort of did this. Named my dog Dixie, after the horn.

Here's a fairly obvious one from 'High Octane'. For most of the chase at the end of the episode Roxanne Huntley is driving a Ford Granada with round headlights (1975-77 model) ...
... yet when she pulls up to Sweet Tillie she's driving a later model Granada (1978-80) with square headlights. Strangely, both cars seem to have the same grille. After a bit of research it appears to belong to later car (below).
Isn't that the exact same car the FBI dudes drove in Daisy's Song?

Trans was already rebuilt once. It's a 5 speed too.

Many of you know the Dukes' farmhouse in Georgia has been demolished. I think it'd be cool if somebody bought the property and turned it into a Dukes museum; an exact replica of how it looked in 1978. Thoughts? Obviously I can't do it. I'm a broke 16 year old in Michigan.

Just anything at all, really.

I just got mine in November. 1996 Dodge Dakota. His name's Kipper. Friend said it's a good name for a D OG.
-
Is anything known about it?
-
If it is a true Georgia Lee, I think you've struck gold. Any updates? I can't remember what became of the High Octane Lee, or LEE 2, or the others besides LEE 1 and and LEE 3.
-
Has to be LEE2,no trim(Lee1),and Lee 3 wasn't wrecked
-
Hmmm, nice job of paying attention.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hoss puts up a sceeen grab to confirm that.
Thanks,and I wouldn't be suprised either,I just joined,and I can already tell Hoss is a fountain of info.

In the junkyard,when the boys knoct the car off the stack,it's Lee2,the car that did the jump in One Armed bandits after the credits
If you look,the front end shows damage -
I agree with this. A new DOH game should be GTA style but my opinion it should have 147 missions(1 for each original episode) ie:mission 1 should be episode one, One Armed Bandits;mission 2,Daisy's song and so forth.
Sorry to drag up an old thread,but THIS would be awesome,considering the vast size of GTA IV and San andreas,it's not IMPOSSIBLE,Duke fans,Let's get on a developer's case for this!

Georgia Lee Tires

Always heard the first 3 cars used Summit brand tires, but was unfamiliar with them. Googled them once or twice and came up with nothing. I struck gold tonight! Summit Super Trac is what the GA cars used. Just a new tidbit of trivia for y'all!
