[TCB]

Because no one else is foolish enough to pay the kind of money he did.

[super77se]

what a shame to try and erase the General Lees originality....

If I had the money I would have paid that for it. To restore the charger was around 75k. To own one of the original 3 would also be worth something, so I think 110 is fair. That's just my opinion however.

But to disgrace the car on top  

[keith88]

I totally agree he should NOT change the flag.

[69 OUR/TEA]

Absolutely horrible !!!!!!!

[Ghoste]

Is there really anything much about Lee 1 genuine enough to be concerned about?  Isn't it largely just a VIN tag and a few inches of cowl or something?

Yea but it represents history he should really wait for all this to blow over he'll find out he'll be kicking himself later.

While that may be true, someone should politely ask him to leave the car alone, or sell to someone who will care for it properly 

[Ghoste]

Hasn't he done or threatened to do something similar before?  Add a Crate Hemi or dingle balls or some stupid thing like that?

[miamivice]

very sad indeed!

[tan top]

 think its out of order removing the flag    


But , its not the real Lee 1 roof any way  ,    cars been completely destroyed how they rebuilt it  , yes awesome job     , but   should of kept / reused  more of the original car  ,  main thing they removed / replaced most of the inner structure ,  

[64dartgt]

He should just put vinyl over it so it can remain original for the next owner. 

[Cncguy]

What a Dumbass

[JR]

Guys its ok, Travis bell already destroyed Lee #1.

No loss here.

[JB400]

I don't see it as a General Lee anymore.  I don't see how anyone could.  It's a package.  It's like ordering a Hellcat, and then getting the v6 for an engine.

If he wants to be politically correct, get a Camaro or Mustang.

[F8-4life]

Heck maybe his agent told him to do it, I find it hard to believe something so stupid.
But hey he has the cash to strip and repaint and the next owner will also have the cash to repaint the flag back on it.

[Ghoste]

I just like the fact that good ole Bubba isn't painting over the Confederate flag because he believes it's racist and all men are created equal.  Except gays, Bubba is on record with that topic already.

That is an really good idea that way you could preserve the originality of it. someone should tell him!

....why not do the world a favor and sell the damn thing!  

That's not how political correctness works. Political correctness means my agenda is right. Not right for me, right for everyone, and so I get to make the decision for everyone. Selling it would not piss anyone off and finding ridiculous ways to piss people off is central to the PC movement. Bubba and the rest of the flag-haters sort of remind me of ISIS running amok all over the middle east destroying historical artifacts they don't like.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

He's such a pusssy, he should change his last name to Twatson.

[VegasCharger]

He's such a pusssy, he should change his last name to Twatson.

[RallyeMike]

What a dope! I guess the next owner can fix it.

[stripedelete]

Maybe Fuzzy Zoeller can talk him out of it.

[69CoronetRT]

Where is the "It's your car do what you want!" crowd?
