I don't give a fuck! at what people say about T. Bell.
He's my hero. He was, he is, end he wil be my hero forever. Travis made the dream a one to live.

I really don't know why your Americans make such a problem about the word "f*ck". Like it's a nasty decease or something.. Get a life. Sure.. we can use "D*mn", or any other incarnation of that word.. but to say "f*ck",.. ohw man.. that's the crime of the century.

Better call the cops, FBI, CIA, FCC to put me away in jail.. Man Í'm scarred!

[tan top]

cool thanks for the link can't wait to see LEE 1  finished plus all of the pitcures of it getting rebuilt etc. awesome stuff

A guy that restores GL's is your hero? You must have some real crappy goals in life. 

BTW, What's the difference if the GL1 rolls out restored as opposed to the GL Clone 5,000,000,000? They all look the same. I don't see how it's at all exciting? They should have left it "As Is". Maybe I need to visit S.Jersey a little more to understand the whole fascination.

Maybe they will jump LEE1 at the next dukes inbred family reunion.....wouldn't that be great?

i personally always liked the dukes of hazzard but man some people don't seem to get it. it was just a tv show and nothing more. there are a lot of people i think that actually believe the dukes is some sort of cult following and that the world should revolve around it!! i think there are just so many people that don't have a concept of reality and non reality and yes the comment about all of the general lee's looking the same is soooo true!! some of these bone heads seem to think they have the perfect general lee( i have talked to some and their car is perfect ). i mean come on people get a  life!!!

I'm sure we all use the "F" word from time to time.  I know I do but this is an open website and kids use it as well as adults.  It's just common courtesy therefore not to drop the F-bomb or write a bunch of cuss words in your threads.  Not everybody wants to read a bunch of cuss words and crap when they come here.  You could have made your poiunt just as easily without putting the big bold F-bomb in there.  Nobody's trying to "scare" you they're just trying to tell you to use some common sense.

Pretty much everyone has probably said that word a few thousand times....................I used it the other day.

But there is a time and place for it......and this was not either of them.

I find that the people who use that kind of language on the internet often kids that are trying to make themselves appear more mature than they are. It failed.

I swear some of GL guys are really out there, I have heard of LEE #1 but I could not care less

[jaak]

I didn't think that car was restorable, they might regret it in the future, I thought it was more interesting in "as found" condition, with it being restored, its no different than any other over restored clone.

With the condition of the car you can probably build LEE #1 again from all the original parts that had to be removed while restoring it.

DUDE! That wood be the cooless thing ever!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!


I think T Bell is merely cashing in on his dukes knowledge/know how and making money off the Duke lamers out there. Look at all the people flock to the dukefests. Its simply business for him. Waste a 69 Charger and make tons of money beyond the value of the car. He dont care about the General Lee, a 69 Charger or the Dukes. He invests in a Charger and jumps it and totals it and then rakes in the cash from all the lamers that show up to a dukesfest. And then the lamers make excuses for him that the Charger was in bad shape and full of bondo blahblahblah while real people that love the 69 Dodge Charger are hunting for any piece or part taken or cut away from a parts car to rebuild one. If it will roll or run and drive its in good enough shape to be restored.


Dont get me wrong. I like The Dukes and the General Lee but all this Dukes hype is starting to get old. It was neat the first few times when they got some of the cast members together but now its simply a deal setup for Profit.

Ding ding ding...  We have a Winner!


I think it's cool restoring LEE1 and all that but T. Bell is setting himself up for a payday in November.    In spite of some peoples opinion... the Dukes has gotten to be a bit of a cultural icon so I'm not gonna go around knocking it too much.
Yes,  restoring it is the right thing to do in my mind.    It was downright embarrassing to go looking at that heap at Carlisle a few years ago...  I'm sure T. Bell got paid to bring it there too.

I'm not some super geek  but I watched the show back when and I own a couple dvd's and a diecast.

Travis has had absolutely nothing to do with Dukesfest for quite a few years. Ben Jones and now CMT is the Dukesfest guys. And the car belongs to someone else. They put Travis in charge of the restoration to make sure the car ended up looking like it did originally.

They're fixing the $27,000 twisted up wreck?

[Chris G.]

It was downright embarrassing to go looking at that heap at Carlisle a few years ago...  I'm sure T. Bell got paid to bring it there too.

I normally agree with you Brian, but I am 100% opposite of you on this one. The only General Lee I think I ever spent more that 2 minutes around was that so called "embarrassing" car you mention. It was mobbed the entire weekend in the previous shape it was in. Now he could park next to to you at some show, and you would have no idea what it was or why anyone should care.

The only reason this car will even be noticed outside of a Duke event, is because they will load it up with gobs of so called "original documentation" and hype. To most it's just yet another orange 01 car.

If I saw an article saying the original Lee was found, I would rather see it in it's previous state, rather than to hear it was restored. Either way it doesn't matter much to me because to this day I can't watch an entire episode of that show. The Dukes and Mopars have no real relation. The Duke boys in Carlisle remind me of the PT Cruiser guys. Most only care about that one car and not the show. That doesn't mean every owner, but the numbers are high.

[itchyballs]

wonder if any of the other  original cars from the series are going to get restored??

[Brightyellow69rtse]

well i grew up on the dukes and i really believe thats why i own a 69 today, the show was cool i still watch it now and again. my car isnt a general lee replica or anything like that. if i ever got a junker to restore, who knows maybe id do a clone just for the hell of it. you never know itd probly be fun to bang around in it now and then lol, jump the occasional water tower to get out of a speeding ticket. but it he wants to fix it power to him another one saved.

           i still believe that the show actually caused more cars to be saved than they destroyed, if the show killed 400 cars (not sure the actual # and wanna be jumps over the years at dukes fest and such) its no big deal in the big picture to me cuse people who dont even know mopar know what the general lee looks like. ive seen some pretty sad chargers that probly wernt worth the effort but they were restored cuse people wanted a general lee.

all i can say to travis is good luck gettting the cement out of the trunk  ........Mike

No problem Chris.

   I still see it my way... and your way is fine too.   I don't pretend to want to have a GL clone but I understand there's people that do.    Like I said,  I don't hate the show...  I kinda like it.   I do believe it's helped save lots of Chargers... even some of them incorrect years like '68 or '70 

    But here's what I see happening...    T. Bell took the car around to a bunch of shows and got appearance fees to show up with a heap on a open trailer... people like me looked at it for 2 minutes... some looked at it longer.  Whatever.    Now the appearance fee $ is dried up.

    Come November,  he has a freshley restored documented LEE1 to show off.     Now watch this puppy get dragged over the country in a enclosed trailer behind a motor home with a T shirt stand...  with some sponsor logos on it too.    You'll probably have to  pay to have your picture taken with it too.   

    I can't explain the whole Duke thing...   it is what it is.    It's not hurting anybody that I know of 
I know there's a whole lot of less deserving cars that get restored for no other reason that they used to be owned by some celebrity or whatnot.    I would hope LEE1 would end up at the Smithsonian later on.   
   

[Ghoste]

I bet if the money was right, he would jump it.

[JimShine]

It isn't his, so how can he?

[Ghoste]

I'm implying that if the money was there, Travis would do most anything for it.  I'm being more cynical than literal.

[Bandit72]

I bet if the money was right, he would jump it.

as a dukes fan i think it would be kinda neat to see the car jumped back at oxford college, in the same spot as the original jump was....if they could get it to land like it did then, and fly for about the same distance, the car wasn't that bad off...(not saying that everyone needs to go jump there chargers, but i just think it would be kinda neat)

[Ghoste]

 

[Mike DC]

 
Travis Bell doesn't own the car.

Nobody in any of the hardcore GL fan clubs gets a dollar from "Dukesfest" these days.

They just want to disagree with you on this issue but because it has been discussed many times they would rather mock your word choice to feel superior. Apparently freedom of speech* means freedom to bitch and press your morals on other people.

[genlee1970]

So... some people take issue with someone making money with thier car (or someone elses) ? I say if you can do something that you love and put your heart and soul into, and make others happy or turn a tidy profit, more power to you. I built my GL clone for my own enjoyment, and the fact that it brings happiness to so many others, especially the kids, is icing on the cake. I can't get a mile from my house without a thumbs up, horn beep, wave etc. People stop in traffic to take pictures, not to mention the General Lee Poparatsi that plagues me on the highway. It's all good. It's only within the Mopar camp that GL clones get bashed. Out in the real world, we're treated like some kind of celebrity. And btw, no two GL clones are exactly the same. I've purposely deviated from the "standard" to suit my own tastes. Anyway, hope this fuels the flames and stirs some s**t as things have been kinda dull since the rest of the Dayclona gang has been banned.

Good thinking, through gas onto the fire, after its out. Snyder's last GL he put together was a Hemi car..................
Ummm no that's not sticking to ''Lee specs'' well maybe in your book..............

[CaptMarvel]

I dont have any problem with the DOH/GL cloners out there. Not my thing, & I wouldnt do it to an old charger, but live and let live I guess, I used to watch it when it was first on, I liked it for what it was (just goofy redneck American fun)  I might entertain the idea of cloning a DMCL 69 with slot mags and all. I do think the Dukes did save far more Chargers than it destroyed though....

[Chris G.]

Its also why most people even want a charger and why the second gen is so valuable. If it wasnt for the General Lee what would a second gen be worth?, which is what most people only care about anyways.

Errrr...ummm...uhhh....wrong!

Where did you pull that fact from?

What TV show made the 'Cuda and Challenger so valuable?  A Hemi Charger selling for over 150K has ZERO to do with the Dukes. As a matter of fact, I rarely and I mean rarely run into a 2nd gen owner who was inspired by the Dukes. It's the car man...don't give the Duke boys credit for something Chrysler designed. 

[Dale The Bold]

What TV show made the 'Cuda and Challenger so valuable?

Nash Bridges and Vanishing Point. 

Okay, it's hard to gauge how much influence a TV show (or movie) has on the value of a car unless we open a portal to an alternate dimension in which that show never existed.  But most of the General Lee clones are non-R/T, non-Daytona, non-500 cars.  In fact, outside of Photoshop, I've never seen a Daytona or 500 turned into a General Lee.  I would be inclined to believe that the Dukes of Hazzard has influenced the price of base model 2nd generation Chargers.  Especially when a cataclysmic event, such as the 2005 movie, occurs.  Had the movie been done well, the effects would have been multiplied.

[Chris G.]

What TV show made the 'Cuda and Challenger so valuable?

Nash Bridges and Vanishing Point. 

Vanishing Point? Was it a hit when it came out in the theatres? I couldn't answer that, but how many VP clones do you see running around? I have seen ZERO.

Nash Bridges? Serious? Did that show ever crack the top 10 in ratings? Again, how many clones do you see running around?

Both had nothing to do with the price boom. It's a desireable body style just as the Charger is. It was only inevitable that both cars would become huge collector cars down the road much like GM and Ford have their desireable models. Again, the Dukes had nothing to do with it.

[The Ghoul]

What TV show made the 'Cuda and Challenger so valuable?

Nash Bridges and Vanishing Point. 

Again, how many clones do you see running around?

How many convertible 71 hemi cudas do you see running around?
shit

I know you love to border on reality, but...reality is, Nash Bridges and Vanishing Point had nothing to do with e-body prices skyrocketing.

As a matter of fact, I rarely and I mean rarely run into a 2nd gen owner who was inspired by the Dukes. It's the car man...don't give the Duke boys credit for something Chrysler designed. 

Sorry to continue this debate, but...
As a young child of about 6 or so, when the Dukes first came out, I had to know what kind of car the General Lee was. I was in awe. I'm not sure what it was exactly, the beautiful styling, the stunts, the jumps, or what. All I knew is that at six years old, THAT WAS THE CAR I wanted when it came time to drive.
My dad was a big Ford fan at the time (T-Birds mostly), but I grew to love the '68 Chargers the most. I got my first '68 when I was 16 in 1986, & still have it to this day. My dad has since converted, & I now have a '69 & a '70 as well.
Honestly, & no offense to the GL owners, I am admittedly tired of seeing so many GL clones. One year at Carlisle I had the misfortune to be parked next to one on the show field. The car owner had the DoH theme song on constant loop playing over... & over... & OVER... ALL...DAY... LONG!!! That was really the icing on the cake for me for the GL clones.
I am especially sick of hearing about more Chargers being destroyed just for the hell of a stunt show at some festival. I cringe when one more is destroyed. Times have changed, these cars are becoming more & more scarce and valuable. They are part of automotive history, considered one of the finest looking cars ever produced, and should not be destroyed for some gimmick at a side show.

I loved the show, still do to this day. I won't say that the show 100% influenced me to love Chargers so much, but it did play a big part of it. If it wasn't for the Dukes who knows, maybe I'd have T-Birds these days. Or worse yet, Mustangs.

I applaud the person who is tackling the restoration of GL #1. Looking over that car at Carlisle, I would have left it for dead. In it's present state, it is nothing more than a piece of twisted metal, a mere shadow of a Charger it once was. I'd consider a resto almost impossible on that one. Without seeing documentation or photos of it in it's former GL robes, most people at a car show wouldn't even know what it really was, just some hulk of a bent up car it is now. The car does have some celebrity status, & deserves to be saved. I'd rather see it in a museum fully restored than left to rot.
OK, rant off. 

[Dale The Bold]

Vanishing Point? Was it a hit when it came out in the theatres? I couldn't answer that, but how many VP clones do you see running around? I have seen ZERO.

I have seen...more than zero.  But they are a little easier to tuck away.  And a white Challenger doesn't necessarily scream clone.

Nash Bridges? Serious? Did that show ever crack the top 10 in ratings? Again, how many clones do you see running around?

No, I wasn't really serious about either one.  But it brings up an interesting point.  I bet the guy who had a yellow convertible Cuda years before Nash Bridges existed just HATES when people come up and mention the show ten times a day.  "Hey, man, you should dress like Don Johnson and hang out with Cheech."

i think people should just let the whole thing rest about the first GL its getting kinda old , nobody really knows the truth about it ( JUST RUMORS  )  anyway, if they do they wont talk they will just make something up to keep your mind in the red .

uuummm . . . What?


The car is definitely LEE#1, and it's definitely being fully restored right now.  No question about that. 

The only issue that's not public knowledge is the name of the car's current owner.

     

[knightrider]

I KNOW THE FULL HISTORY OF THE CAR  TRUST ME AND THATS NO SH*T. I KNOW IT IS LEE 1 THATS FOR SURE! I BASICLY DON'T CARE WHO OWNS IT OR WHO IS DOING THE RESTO ON THE CAR, BECAUSE IT DON'T MATTER TO ME ( I DON'T OWN IT) AND DON'T CARE, ITS ALL FUNNY ENTERTAINMENT JUST TO LISTIN TO ALL THE STORYS ABOUT HOW ITS UNFOLDING.   I GUSS WE'LL SEE IN FUTURE

I liked the show the DOH but mostly the general lee & own a 69 Charger because of it. But it isn't a clone and I never wanted to build it as one. For some its the general to me its a 69 Charger.

Its also why most people even want a charger and why the second gen is so valuable. If it wasnt for the General Lee what would a second gen be worth?, which is what most people only care about anyways.

Excuse me for being so forward, but,,, (ARE YOU NUTS)??  DOH was bug when I was growing up and I could not stand to watch it. It made me sick to know they were wasting Charger after Charger. The plot was allllllllllways the same. Daisy was the only real eye catcher on the show.

My uncle Jack took me for a couple of blasts down the road in his 68' R/T Charger that he bought new. After that, seeing what the DOH show was doing was a crime........

Yeah, I have to side with Steve on that.  I was hot on them before the DOH came out myself but that only means I'm old.  All the same, I have to think that if DOH was the main reason most people were into these cars and it was the driving force behind their value, then it should follow that most 69 Chargers would be converted to GL's and not restored or modified in other ways.
I also don't think that most people only care about the value of these cars either.  Lots do, but lots are into it because they love the car and the hobby and the people involved.

I'm confused. They showed the Lee #1 but then they also showed the wrecked race Charger that the Dukes bought. Which one did they find...the General or the wrecked race one?

The wrecked "Petty" car is LEE #1. It was repainted after the famous jump you see in the intro of every episode.

THE WRECKED RACE CHARGER WAS USED IN THE DOH SERIES AS A WRECKED PETTY RACE CAR THE DUKE BOYS BUY FOR THE MOTOR! THE SAME CAR IS LEE 1 THAT WAS JUMPED OVER THE POLICE CAR IN THE FIRST EPISODE!!

oh my gosh.........i'm wet.......

What you got to realize though, to them in the 80's when the show was aired, a 69' Charger was like a 92 Buick to us in the present day. We wouldn't give it a second thought if we jumped one of them classics. I gotta say tho, it still sucks for them to ruin all of them 69's.
