That's pretty cool! Nice to see someone try something out of the box.

Pretty cool but the General Lee still did that before the Olds! 2nd season "Arrest Jesse Duke" they had a "off road" modified General Lee (big tires and lifted) Someone should really do that race in a "General Lee"  modded 6.1 Hemi, full coilovers, independent rear suspension, Viper rear diff,

That stuff was sorta hip in the SoCal desert when I was a kid in the late 70's. I recall a late model El Camino and a Nova in Apple Valley, a fella from Palm Springs with what must have been a low buck Rolls Royce at one of the local car shows, and a lot of unfinished projects in peoples side yards. The young Airmen at Nellis AFB in Vegas were part of it too. I seem to recall a Dodge 4x4 van modified w/ some sort of an external rollcage.

HOLY CRAP THE DUKES OF HAZZARD DID??? I didn't know dukes of HAZZARD was filmed before 1970 when this car was raced. They just rebuilt the orignal race car from 1970. Dang I didn't know that show went back that far and the way its talked about on this site it was the second coming of Christ.

Yep, I love DOH but they didn't exactly start the trend of off-road cars in the 1970s/80s.

People doing that stuff with cars since the beginning of auto racing, in one way or another.

Ain't that the truth.
