The Way I understand it with these "Dukes" cars, all you really need is the VIN, Firewall, Dash, and windshield.

IMO there's rarely been a worse redesign to the front of a car than what took place between the 72 and 73 Roadrunner model years (not counting the new "Charger" of course).

There again, you can blame the feds.  5 mph bumper standards uglified a bunch of cars nearly as much as CAFE standards did with jellybean cars.

I may be in the minority, but i like either version.
They each to me have an appeal all their own.

Me too, I like the 71-72 better, but still like the 73's also... The 68-70 RR's are my favorites, with 68 RR HT actually being my favorite year....

The other day, I was watching an old episode from Hunter and in season 4, there was a car which could have been leftover from that fleet of RRs  :shruggy:

As we know, Hunter and The A-Team used up the rest of the 78 Furys...  :flame:

wikpedia, but who knows where they got it from

Daisy's first car in the series was a yellow 1974 Plymouth Road Runner with a black stripe along the sides and over the roof. Although the car was intended to be a Plymouth Road Runner, later appearances in the second season used a 1971 Plymouth Satellite with a matching "Road Runner" stripe running along the sides and over the roof. The car met its demise when the accelerator stuck while Bo and Luke were driving it during a chase in the second season episode "The Runaway", sending it over a cliff. Due to the episodes being broadcast in a considerably different order to that of which they were filmed, the Plymouth made several returns after it was supposedly destroyed. (After the Plymouth had been destroyed on-screen, several models of the car appeared in various episodes with different paint jobs, serving as other vehicles within the context of the stories).

After losing that car, she received her trademark white 1980 Jeep CJ-7 "Golden Eagle" named (The) Dixie at the end of "The Runaway". The initial version of the Jeep seen at the end of this episode was noticeably different to what would become the normal version, with a slightly different paint job, doors with "Dixie" painted on, and "Golden Eagle" printed by on the hood on either side of an Eagle emblem. After this first appearance, the design changed to have a lighter paint job, no doors, and "Dixie" painted alongside the emblem on the hood. However, as with other vehicles in the show, there were different versions of the Jeep used for filming of various episodes. Sometimes the Jeep would have a slightly different paint scheme, and it would alternate between automatic and manual transmissions. The design of the roll-bars also varied across the seasons.

On a number of occasions, Daisy also drove Uncle Jesse's pick-up truck. Certain storylines occasionally called for her to drive the General Lee.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

'71 - '72 Road Runners are one of my all-time favorite Mopars ever.

Had one when I was 17, was my high-school car. It was painted very similar: Lemon Twist yellow, black strobes, go-wing, 440-auto on the column, with a white split hi-back bench interior. Had old-school Cragar SST mags on it. Oh, yeah, it was a CLONE. Sold it when I was 19 to buy my '70 Charger. 
The next buyer put a 6-pack on it, & from there I lost track of it. I would love to find that car again someday, but it probably met it's demise years ago.
