LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The famous Dodge Charger from 1980s television show "The Dukes of Hazzard" has sold via an Internet auction for an astonishing 9.9 million dollars, according to a page on eBay.com.

The 1969 car, known in the series as the "General Lee" and the nemesis of Sheriff Roscoe P.Coltrane in numerous chase scenes, was sold by actor John Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the long-running show.

It is believed to be the second highest price for a car sold at auction in history. The most expensive car in history was a 1931 Bugatti sold at auction by Christie's in 1987 for 11 million dollars.

Schneider's car had been customized with a 8.3 liter engine capable of generating 725 horsepower, with only 16,000 kilometres on the odometer.

The Dodge Charger was one of the most symbolic vehicles of America's "muscle car" era, which ended after the 1973 oil crisis.

I'm surprised this didn't pop up here earlier.   EBAY LINK

I'd say John's "E-biz" paypal account just took a rather large increase.

I guess I shouldn't be by now...  It'll just be something we can bug CF about for a while   

[Ghoste]

Can't you just press some sort of magic moderator merge button and put them all together?

[hemigeno]

Oh yeah, there is a merge thread feature...  this is so much more fun though...

The problem with merging threads is that I think the replies are still sorted by when they're posted.  So, the merged replies usually make little sense in the flow of the main thread.

In the past, we've just locked down the extra threads, but I didn't want to wear that button out today.

[Silver R/T]

Ive started thread in Ebay ads...I thought it possibly was a scam...we'll see if the winner actually pays this much

If you go and read the un-read topics list each time you log on then you would know not to start a thread on the same topic that you should be replying to.
It is kind of like reading the directions or something.

  Wow, that car must be made out of solid gold.

[BMOTOXSTAR]

If the sale goes through it will be the most expensive item ever sold on E-Bay! Did someone allready mention that?
