John Schneider or Bo Duke is parting with his old buddy and friend in the hit series, The Dukes of Hazzard. John Schneider has decided to sell the General Lee on eBay. Yes it is the real General Lee or at least one of them. If your a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard show and or movie you may want to watch this one.
This is what John had to say in his auction:
“The most famous model of the most famous car in the world! This car was named by TV Land in 2004 as the most famous car in Television History. And this is the exact car that they gave that prestigious award to.
This car has done a lot for me over the last 10 years and now it can be a part of your personal collection. I will give you a brief overview of
what this car has done. It appeared in the last REAL Dukes of Hazzard
movie, “Dukes Go To Hollywood”. And under the hood are the autographs of all the living orginial cast members and crew that were on the TV show. It has been on such shows as TV Land, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, etc. It was the car that Warner Brothers used as a template to build all the General Lee’s used on the latest incarnation of the Dukes of Hazzard movie starring Jessica Simpson and Willie Nelson. And what I’m most excited about is that it has recently starred as another car named Traveller in my most recent movie, Collier & Co, Hot Pursuit! Its a great family movie that I wrote, produced, starred in, well you get the picture. Its currently in theaters in different parts of the country, and it goes to DVD in September. Check it out and watch The General do what it does best, go fast! I have personally raced this car in a rally called The Silver State Classic Challenge, held in Nevada. I have also done numerous charity events in this car including raising
over $7000.00 for Speedway Childrens Charities last year at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway and another $4000.00 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the fall at the Sam’s Town 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park.Carl Edwards, now a personal
friend and Nascar superstar, drove this car himself on that track to
show me the proper racing line for my rides with the winners of that
auction! And in Memphis, Carl invited me to watch the race from the
top of his pit box with none other than legendary team owner Jack
Roush! It would take a very long time to tell you everything about this
car, so lets just stick to the relevant details. Although the plate
says a 426 Hemi, the car actually has a 511 crate motor from 1998 that
produces approx 725hp. It has suspension by Hotchkis, auxiliary
transmission by Gear Vendor, Viper brakes, and a racing steering box.
Although I hate to part with this car, I am really looking forward to
building a new one, something I haven’t done since I built this one.
One more detail, there is an article coming out in a major car magazine
where this car is compared and raced against the Starsky and Hutch car, and the Batmobile. Guess who won? As to picking up the car, the buyer will be responsible for all costs associated with picking up and
shipping if any of this car. Good luck to all.”
If you are interested you should hurry up and bid. Currently the bidding is at 2.7 million dollars. Now that is what you call Making Money on Ebay!
