A 1972 Charger XL, optioned up with a few extras - side stripe, sports wheels, "black-out" front treatment, driving lights, remote driver's door mirror, sports steering wheel, inertia-reel seat belts, flip-top fuel cap. -- Last edit: 2019-08-02 04:09:53

In scenes where one has fake number plates, the registration label can also be used to differentiate (the main car has a July 1972 label, the back-up car has a March 1972 label). In this cap from ep. 16, the back-up car has standard wheels: And a demolished rear-quarter panel... -- Last edit: 2019-08-02 04:10:59
