Daisy Duke's '71 Plymouth Satellite


Recommended Posts

Just to clarify: YES, they used a '74 Roadrunner which appeared in 5 of the first 9 episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard, then beginning with episode 11 they switched to a '71 Satellite Sebring in a Roadrunner paint scheme, hoping nobody would notice.  Some prefer the '74; personally I prefer the '71, finding it much sleeker and meaner looking with the wraparound bumper/grill assembly. 

Base kit is the Revell/Monogram '71 Plymouth GTX.  Modifications include:

     -Replacement hood

     -Smaller-block engine (from 71 Duster)

     -Completely rebuilt & boosted rear suspension

     -Replacement tires

     -Wheel hubs from '77 Ford van

Additionally, all GTX logos were removed (not easy on the grill); headlights made from sanded/polished acrylic gemstones; engine bay heavily wired and detailed; scratchbuilt steering wheel, CB radio and antenna; paint is Plymouth Yellow Blaze.
