Shelby’s coming out of the woodwork on Adam12

[67KGTA]

I love car spotting watching those old episodes! There's an Adam 12 episode "Million Dollar Buff" with Ed Begley, Jr as a young teenager stealing or swapping rims off a blue 1970 Shelby. The wife thinks I'm crazy as I point out all the Mustang's and Shelby's on the screen ! I like to call it my "comfort TV" as I watched all those shows when I was just a kid!

Yep, while a few of those cars look near-new and probably wrangled from dealers or the staff/friends of the Mark IV production company, many of the stunt cars were probably bought for $1000 (or less) at a salvage yard, needing some major work. 

I heard a couple estimates on General Lees that were used one was just over 130 and the other 154. I can pretty much assure you every car in this shot has at least 5 pounds of bondo and may even have one side caved in. These are all 20 footers. There are several lots like this all over LA. The guy next door takes better care of his cars.

They built and stored about 20-30 at the Warner Bros Ranch where they filmed some of the show outside shots. WB is selling the property and it will be rebuilt as a bunch of sound stages. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1586081,-118.3441524,467m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&authuser=0

The town square they slid around - https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1486575,-118.3362316,77m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&authuser=0

I always hated going to Warner Bros - dirtiest studio in town. It was almost a guaranteed that you'd get a nail in your tire.

I never would have guessed that Stars Hollow and Hazzard County were the same place.
