JOHNSTOWN — Calling all Daisy Duke and Boss Hogg wannabes.

Greater Johnstown Community YMCA has a vehicle you might like. And if you’re lucky enough, that might be a possibility.

On Tuesday, the YMCA showed off a 2012 SRT8 Dodge Challenger painted in bright orange – looking a lot like the car made popular on the ’80s television series, “The Dukes of Hazzard.”

The car will be raffled off May 18 after 2,000 chances are sold. Tickets can be purchased for $100 each or two for $150.
