Hard to imagine finding someone who hasn't seen or heard of the General Lee. You know them, the famous Duke family comprised of patriarch Uncle Jesse, smokin' hot Daisy along with rowdy cousins Bo and Luke. The Dukes of Hazzards influenced generations and made this particular Dodge Charger legendary. To have the money to roll around in this gem would be a dream come true.
"Lee
1 was purchased by a California movie studio in 1978, soon to become
"The most famous television car in the world." Lee 1 was featured
several times in the first episode of CBS' hit television series "The
Dukes of Hazzard." This episode titled "One-Armed Bandits," aired on
January 26, 1979 and was filmed in the Covington, Conyers and Oxford
area of Georgia. The show's opening sequence, featuring Bo and Luke
Duke, included the clip of Lee1 jumping over a Hazzard County police
cruiser. That jump, for which Lee 1 is most famous, was made by a stunt
man on the campus of Oxford College on Saturday 11, 1978. Lee 1's first
and only jump was 16 feet up and over the cruiser, landing 82 feet from
the take off ramp. The only cast member that ever drove Lee 1 was John
Schneider, who played Bo Duke.
After 23 years in a junkyard, in Metro Atlanta, Lee 1 was rescued and
professionally, passionately restored to pre-jump condition over a 16
month period.
Lee 1 is truly an American Icon."
