    General Lee sold - $10 million....



    If the bids are real - and the eBayMotors.com auction was stopped once for fake bidding - a modified 1969 Dodge Charger, painted to look like the General Lee from the TV Show "The Dukes of Hazzard," nearly became the most expensive car ever auctioned.


    Wow - yea, if I had 10mil in spare change - OF COURSE I'd pick it up....

    Then go jump some rivers n s**t with some moon-shine in the trunk! No really. Who has not wanted to slide across the hood of that thing?

            I saw one of the show cars at a local muscle car show when I was a kid and was amazed. I always came home and watched reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard on TNN.

                      That would be pretty awesome as long as all the bids are legit.

                        Sadly, I read somewhere this ain't even close to an original one. Bo Duke (anybody even care what his real name is?) has bought and built a half dozen of these since the show died.

                        This is a cool car, but its' price is equal to a real Hemi 'Cuda ragtop, or 6-8 real Hemi 'Cuda hardtops in immaculate shape. I know what I'd rather have.

                        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                          I see that was a A/C car, and i wonder why they used a motor plate to mount the engine in it?

                              I used to be a big dukes of hazzard buff when i was in middle school, cause i didn't have a license, nor a life apparently. regardless, i read on a fan site that out of the 300 some odd chargers they went through, they used to cut the roofs off and hastily weld the same roof on every car to save time. In some episodes, so they say, you can see a distinct horizontal line through the middle of the c-pillar in which would spray paint over mopar orange. They would also re-use the doors. I never really took the time to see if it was true or not. Makes sense, i guess. Twas a sin they had to waste all those gorgeous chargers.

                              I built 4 General lee models in 8th grade, and I have a MIB Dukes of hazzard watch that plays dixie on the hour (the rare kind) WITH instructions. i fucking win. (or lose, however you wanna play the game i suppose).
