Over 300 Dodge Chargers were used on the show because once a car was jumped it was not used again The shock of the impact completely destroyed the structural integrity of the car.
At the end of filming of the TV show there were only 17 original General Lees remaining Warner Bros. authenticated all these, each car being given a Certificate of Authenticity of its participation in the TV Show.

The death-defying jumps so common to the series, required 500/1000 pounds of ballast to balance the car, otherwise it would have turned end-over-end in the air. The shock of one jump could ruin the structural integrity of the car. However, since there were 85,000 Chargers manufactured in 1969, the series prop department never worried about running out of cars to demolish. Fans of the show who requested photographs of General Lee were sent eight-by-ten glossies of the General autographed with tire-treads.
