1969 dodge charger
you can view the pics on

the detail is as follows:
MAKE/MODEL: Dodge Charger [Road & Track (R/T)]
YEAR: 1969
ENGINE:
The engine of the General Lee was a 426 Hemi, with an Eldebrock torquer intake. Hemi is short for "Hemispherical", an engine design that provides more horsepower than any other V8, including the 440 Magnum. Some Generals had 440 Magnums, but the 426 Hemi was shown in many episodes. The General Lee also had headers with 3" exhausts. It had a street-stock stall converter.
FACTORY: Detroit, Michigan.
TIRES: Racing, black sidewalls.
CARBURETOR: A four-barrel Holly 780 Double-Pumper.
TRANSMISSION:
A Chrysler "Torqueflite" A-727, the most durable automatic tranny ever built. In some episodes, however, a manual transmission was shown.
LICENSE PLATE: Georgia CNH 320.
MODIFICATIONS:
To customize the car for the show, it was stripped down to the bare metal on the outside, the rough spots were sanded thoroughly, and then several coats of specially-mixed paint were applied. All of this work was done right at the studio, where the producers had set up a repair shop just for that purpose. The stock horn was replaced with a special horn that played the first twelve notes of "Dixie".
New manifolds were put in the motor and a special exhaust system was installed; all spark plugs were replaced.
A grill guard is also added, though it probably didn't protect much, knowing the way the General was driven.
The roof of the General Lee was supported by three-point roll bars that helped retain the strength of the metal in the event the car was flipped over during a scene.
The doors were welded shut for structural rigidity and storyline continuity. Of course, some General Lees (there were over 300) had un-welded doors.

1968 - 1970. In the series. I think the main car was 1969, but they used a lot of stunt cars
