lost_sheep3 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I'm not 100% positive, but I believe it was a Ford Mustang.LS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexrules43 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 1st was a 1971 or so Ford LTD, second (2nd Season) was a 1967-1969 Mustang. Probably a 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_sheep3 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Thank you, Alexrules, I am horrible with years on Fords. Chevy's and Oldsmobiles I can usually make a pretty good guess...but Fords...forget it.LS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint Duke Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 the original is a 1971 Ford Galaxie Custom 500 I think its the same kind of car Burt Reynolds drove in "White Lightning" In fact wonder if it's the same actual car ?

HossC Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 IMCDb has Black Tillie designated as a 1971 Ford Custom 500, but there is some debate about the exact model due to all the chrome being removed/painted over. That is the same make/model and year as the car driven by Burt in 'White Lightning'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I was wondering if the car they used for Sweet Tilly was one of the cars they used physically in the film "White Lightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Someone on IMCDb points out that when Roxanne Huntley sniffs the gas tank at the end of 'High Octane', the car's original color appears to be brown. However, given the damage that Burt's car must've sustained in the chase, especially that hard landing across the back of the barge, I doubt that it would still have been around six years later.

Yes, I also did further digging instead of just wondering. Apparently all of White Lightning was filmed in Arkansas so not very likely that car would end up in Georgia years later. It was a cool thought though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is a Duke's hazard historian type person and she told me she picked up and research. The reason it didn't happen is because of all the issues going on with the writers and the casting problems so they only had him in that one episode?
