From the Internet...
They used over 200 1968, 1969 and 1970s. The Warner Bros chop shop didn't 
differentiate between years when they rebuilt a car. Following is an excerpt 
from a buyer of one of the 19 cars that where left after the show folded.
Two were kept by the Studio and 17 were sold.
... From the VIN "XP29H8B" and code plate my General began life as a '68
Charger, 383 HP, 727 auto, 8.75 3.55:1 sure grip, Power front disc,
PS & AC.  It was originally dark turquoise with a white interior and
white vinyl top.
The center section of the grill is from a '69 but it still has the '68
headlight doors.  The '68 taillight panel was cut to fit the '69 lenses and
patch panels were riveted above them.  It has one '68 front fender and one 
'69.
It has one '68 door and one '69....  no backup lights (The '68 backup
lights were part of the taillight assembly).  The side marker lights
have been filled in.... the drivers side motor mount is destroyed and the
mount bracket is resting on the dipstick tube.  The engine is being held
on this side by a heavy chain bolted to the AC compressor and welded to
the K-frame... oil pan is crushed. wiring under the hood except what was
needed to run the engine had been cut and removed. It has three 14"
wheels and one 15"... the axles... loose... the adjusting ring is completely
unscrewed....  the thrust spacer is welded to the end of the axle and
the spacer from the other side is missing...  interior is spray "painted"
tan... the doors weren't welded shut...
