Okay more of a question, you ask why do they do it to a 3rd gen, I ask why do you all mod your chargers for? because you want to! :smilielol:

$6k seems like a fair price for a 318 72.  And it's just paint.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

i feel that the gl colors only go on a 69 charger, when it comes to golf carts and mopeds, then i find it amusing...... but on another car or a truck????? not for me.  there is a guy near me that has a 90ish ford ranger that is painted up liek the general lee, its not a spray bomb liek most i have seen in the area. i would bet he has more in that paint then the rest of the truck

 :pity:   :lol:

i can totally understand why someone with a plain jane 3rd gen would want to paint up like a Jenny Lee, i mean it looks good to me and does add a distinctiveness to a plain jane charger, it's in the spirit and i think it's kinda cool...
I don't understand as much though why folks would want to copy a GL on a '68 or '70 that seems kinda dumb and seriously half assed,.. And I do understand some folks (not me, just some folks who were raised watching the show (cause could only bear to watch one episode and not all of it at that and thought it was as dumb as a bag of hammers,..  :shruggy: just didn't get it sorry, my idea of my favorite car of all time the '69 R/T SE didn't involve jumping stuff out on country roads and all that rural stuff...  being an inner city teen,.. but of course then i was approx. 18 and probably a 'lil bit more sophisticated in my tastes...  :-\ ) anyhow, whatever I think the car is an ICON it stands for an attitude of something to do with YEEEE HAW!!! ness,.. or something... and an entire generation of 10 year olds is now comming of age and able to get that iconic YEEEE HAWESS!! or whatever... so why not paint it on a littler box or mailbox or the old ladys' fingernails?..
if I saw that I'd go

Apparently the General Lee has more of a following than I realized. I got a kick out of viewing the posted photos.  :yesnod:

All though I have no desire to do up a GL, I can understand why people would do a Dodge Charger, or even a Hummer, dirt bike, surf board, riding mower, snowmobile, bus, etc. as a GL but cannot see any sense in doing a non-mopar CAR as a GL. In my opinion if its a car then it should be a Dodge Charger, preferably a '69.

A GM, Ford, or import car as a GL just doesn't make sense to me.

Well let me put it this way, what car was in the TV series The Dukes of Hazard as the "General Lee"?  A 1969 Dodge Charger, right?
As far as the Bikes, tractors, buses, etc. made up to look like a GL I see them as kind of a tongue in cheek joke, something to chuckle about, but a non-mopar car as a GL as I said before just doesn't make sense to me. Of course I'm different then a lot of people in that if I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it up right, and to me that would be a Dodge Charger as a GL, not a Chevy, or ford or toyota, etc.

If you don't relate MoparManJim to what I'm saying thats okay, I wasn't looking for validation from you, I was simply expressing an opinion.

Well I will relate weather you want me to or not bud, I agree with you that on the Dukes of Hazzard tv series, the car that played the role of General Lee was pose to be a 1969 Dodge Charger but alot of 1968 Dodge Chargers also played the role of General Lee as well  :shruggy:.. Bu tall these are all tin just form by certain companys is all into vehicles. 

But the other stuff like dirt bikes, and stuff like that also cracks me up.

"Mark Madson of Clinton guides the General Lee to its resting place on the Boar's Nest in Allens Grove on Monday.  The 1969 Dodge Charger was painted to resemble the car in the TV series 'Dukes of Hazzard.'  The roof model appears to be jumping over the tavern.  It is one of two Chargers painted by students at Blackhawk Technical Institute to look like the General Lee."

i have to agree, some of those foreign ones probably can't afford a charger but the idea behind it is that they are rebels, thats what the paint scheme relates to, not just a car

Sorry guys. The General Lee was/is/forever will be a '69 Dodge Charger. Not a '73 Dodge Charger. Not a '65 Plymouth Savoy. Not a '77 Winnebago. Not an '88 Buick Le Sabre. Anything other than a '69 Dodge Charger is like a transvestite female celebrity impersonator.

These is not the "Ecto 1" from Ghostbusters, either:
