The "Dukes of Hazzard" favorite ride could be coming back.
A Chrysler official told the Associate Press that the Dodge Charger will return for the 2006 model year.
The Hemi-powered Charger was one of the legendary muscle cars of the 1960s. (Learn how a Hemi engine, which has an unusually shaped combustion chamber, works.)
An orange 1969 Charger was the four-wheeled star of the old "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV show.
Producers wrecked more than 250 of them filming stunts for the program.
A company spokeswoman wouldn't comment on the report. But a Chrysler insider said the new Charger will be rear-wheel drive and share components with the Chrysler 300 sedan and Dodge Magnum wagon.
