Ben Jones' car

Screen used, maybe 

What else? 

[marshallfry01]

I highly doubt that car was used on "The Ghost of General Lee."  That was a second season episode when they did not fill the side markers in.....this car has them filled in.  It is possible that the car was used throughout the series and then had the markers filled in and got the lighter tan interior.....   It looks like those autographs are about gone too....

[Ghoste]

I suppose it could have been screen used but based on what I've read by the DOH congnoscenti I am thinking no.  At least until one of them pipe in and say otherwise.

[JB400]

It wouldn't surprise me if this is one of those cars Ben had made up to put outside his stores.

[Ghoste]

Well and thats what I think too but not knowing GL's very well, I'll give him a tiny bit of slack for the moment.

something going on with the motor ,   not sitting level in the engine bay or  something going on with the  air filter causing a optical illusion

some interesting body work been going on under the orange paint

They jumped it and the motor mount broke......


Or


There was so much torque the chassis twisted off the line.....

[Baldwinvette77]

Engine looks level to me  

my guess is that the air cleaner isn't ment for that carb, electric choke or wrong model

[Ghoste]

Maybe it was a HLPAG car.

Looks a LOT better than the cars I've seen outside (and in) the stores  In fact, this car looks really good in the pics, and would probably be a great deal of fun to drive! 

[Ghoste]

Really?  It surprises me that Ben wouldn't have good examples at his stores.  After John Schneider I always thought he embraced his time on the show a great deal.

Yeah, they are not that great, really, and sadly. Every now and then, a loaner Charger goes on display at the Nashville store. The one most frequent, is the Hazzard life one, and some of their other vehicles.

Good Call!! Was just thinking same thing! Watched that episode last night and you are right!!

[MoparManJim]

What a lot of folks don't know is the Ghost version of the General was not orange it was white. With frosted over windows and a chestnut interior. and He had indicator lights shown and that season of cars had small push bars not the wide ones.  

Images of the episode Ghost of General Lee. 
 
 
 

All the orange glow is film effect added in during filming editing.

The Real Ghost of General Lee off camera.

Looks like the correct Chevy color and a decent copy ..except for that antenna location

What you are looking at is the cb antenna.

[Ghoste]

The wheels look so much different in the on camera shots.

Really? It's not the radio shack 21-908a model is it?

WTH happened to those lower quarters???


See, this is why I just cannot respect a GL anymore, they always look like crap!  As if they were raped over and over by carnosaurus.  Spray bombed interior, boat loads of bondo covered in shiny paint, crappy interior, black engine bay.  I wouldn't dare turn the key in one of those without a fire suit.

Once more I need to voice my respect to those here that have made their GL into a mint car top to bottom.  You know who you are!
