To this day, this particular Charger, one of the most beautiful model years ever, remains a rather rare car...Thanks to the Dukes.
I hate movies that wreck perfectly good musclecars, don't you?
...About the horn, personally, I'd like to get an aooga horn for my old truck!

They were illegal and the cops would make you take them off the car right on the spot. It would be fun to find one of those!

The horns play the '1st 13 notes of dixie' jc whitney has them(as was mentioned) - there are also some electronic horns that do that dixie plus a bunch of others. -W | | |

As Gord mentioned, you had to really be careful with it, as they were kind of frowned upon. It had a wire that ran inside the car to control it. With practice, you could make it produce all kinds of sounds. | | |
