I snapped this shot while in a junkyard in Arkansas, what are the chances this is a genuine General from the tv show that was "de-milled"?

I'd bet it is. There were tons of cars used for filming.

A vin and some research would answer that right quick. Could you tell if there was a roll bar in it or anything? Any clues in the car itself at all?

the car was cut off at the cowl, so no dice with the vin, and I don't remember seeing a roll bar of any sorts, but it was last winter that I was there. Just the bare shell sittin in the dirt. The number for the place is 870-869-2520, called Rones. These were some hard core hillbillys running this joint, like strait out of the movies...YEE HAWW!

I read an article some where a few months ago that any car wrecked/ jumped in filming was orderdd by WB to have the roofs and doors cut out to not allow scavaging. think about it, its in AR, if there is anywhere some hick would build a clone its there

i think it was last year that they had lots of 12 cars in a auction and they looked just like that one just crap sitting in a field and they were going for some big dollars they were smashed and some had cages and some didnt and they were not all chopped up just smashed faded
