1969 1970 Dodge Charger Se General Lee Tv Show Replica Mopar! Big Block! on 2040-cars
Bristow, Indiana, United States

Ok, I am letting go of my beloved General Lee Charger. Due to circumstances out of my control, here is your chance. Feel free to ask anything because I am VERY thorough and I know this car front to back, inside and out. I will give you an honest description of my car for better or worse. I have invested a lot of money, blood, sweat and tears into this car. This car looks amazing in pictures but is in NO WAY near a $75,000 show car. Bid with 100% confidence. This car is by far the most fun I have ever had owning a car and was a "bucket list" item for me. Now it is time to pass it on.
This car has been a General Lee since the late 1980's-early 1990's. I found it in a field. It was in need of everything from brakes, interior, rear end to motor and transmission. I bought it with the intention of NEVER selling it. Therefore I spent a fortune on it. This car has had a colorful life. The car has a rough look to it which makes people assume that it is a "real" General Lee when they see it. Overall the car starts, runs and drives GREAT! Just a fun car to take the kids out in, drive in parades or just draw a crowd anywhere. Body: This car is a 1970 Charger with a '69 front clip. The lower quarter panels are full of old Bondo and dated, poor body work. Pics say a lot but I will answer any specifics you may have anytime! Front subframe could use a repair or replaced, but rears appear to be solid. Paint on the front end, roof and trunk lid is different from the doors and quarters. Looks close but still obviously a shade different. Dents, dings, scratches and so on. There has been bondo work done to the surrounding of the rear window as well. Not sure what was going on there. Trunk pan is in rough shape but was replaced at some point with something else. Most of the body work appears to have been done by hillbilly professionals prior to my acquisition of the car lol. Interior: All factory original seats professionally reupholstered. The floors had been patched up front with factory style patch panels and looked pretty good. Interior panels painted tan but done nicely. Speedometer works. Thats it. No other gauges work. Aftermarket oil, temp and fuel gauges work. Horn works perfect though. Stereo with Ipod jack and vintage Cobra CB works great! All exterior lights work fine (Hi/Lo, turn, brake and so on) and so does the dome light. Headlight doors do NOT open and are not hooked up to anything. They have to be manually opened for night time driving. I met Jimmy Best (Rosco) in person and had him sign my glove box lid. Roll bar is as close as I could get to TV show quality. It is muffler tubing and all welded together and bolted to the floor. It would NOT protect you in a roll over! Engine/Trans: Engine is a STRONG '66 model 383 Commando V8 4bbl with a Weiand intake and new Edelbrock #1406 4bbl. New starter, all new electronic ignition system, alt., radiator, hoses, and so on. Engine runs SMOOTH and has tons of power! No smoke or issues. 727 Torque Flight transmission shifts STRONG too! Car is FAST and will burn the tires off! Suspension: I installed a new front disc brake conversion kits including spindles, sway bar bushings, lower ball joints, rotors, calipers and so on. Front end NEEDS a proper alignment. I never did have it aligned after the work was completed. Wheels are Vector "01" Limited General Lee editions. Rear end is an 8 3/4 #741 case with 3:55 gears. All new rear brake lines and shoes. New gas tank as well and sender. In closing we have had a TON of fun with this car. YES it is rough around the edges, YES it needs a few this and thats but it is more fun than anything I have EVER owned. People walk right past $50,000 hot rods to line up and get pictures in this car. No joke. Anyway, SERIOUS buyers only please. Always here to help with shipping. Please do not email asking "What's your bottom dollar". I have priced the car accordingly and it is VERY reasonable for a BIG BLOCK, TAN INTERIOR, DISC BRAKE General Lee! Car is titled, insured and plated to me. Clear title in hand. Also I am not interested in ANY trades of ANY kind. If the car does not sell here in this listing, it will NOT be relisted. It will remain in my garage. Thanks and best of luck to all! (812)631-9244 Car is sold "As Is" and "Where Is" obviously. I welcome and encourage potential buyer to come and inspect the car in person. We can take it for a drive! I prefer "cash on the barrelhead" but will take a cashiers' check. NO PAYPAL for full amount! Take care, I'm gone. On Dec-31-13 at 07:54:24 PST, seller added the following information:Well folks I sure appreciate the calls and emails so far. Been a real pleasure. It is killing me to accept the fact that my car will be sold. Whoever wins the auction will gain instant celebrity status though. That is a fact! You will become "the people with the General Lee". It is amazing the amount of people who still relate to these cars from our childhood TV heros. In fact, if you Google "General Lee", 9 out of 10 images are of the Charger and not the real general. That says something about pop culture for sure. These are the most recognized cars on the planet and will never go out of style. Thanks for the interest and again, please ask anything at anytime. On Dec-31-13 at 17:28:49 PST, seller added the following information:I forgot to post engine pics so here is a quick look under the hood and at the floors prior to carpet installation. Sorry about that. |

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity
Sun, 27 Jul 2014
Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
