How many General Lee owners here ?

[BlueSS454]

There is already a deal pending on it.  No cash involved, just working on the details.

[miamivice]

#57 #76 #13  #4  #10 #17 # 18 

Who wouldn't want to own a GL 

You own EIGHT second gen chargers?!  WOW!  I'm fortunate just to own one.  I'm guessing you were part of the group buy from WB?  I have met the guy from Seattle that has one of those survivors, he brought it to our car show a few years back.  Very cool.

[UH60L]

I'm in the undecided category.  Here is why. 

I always wanted a General Lee, from the first time I saw it on screen.  (1979 )

Then, as time went buy, I decided I'd jsut be happy to have ANY '68 or '69 charger.  (1985-86)

Then, when I finally got a '69, I had kind of decided on blue with a white stripe.  (2004)

Then, my dad died and I decided to go ahead ans get teh car all rebuilt and make it a General as a tribute to him.  (2008)

Then, after getting the final bill from the body shop for over $24,000.00, I am having a hard time convincing myself to put vinyl decals over that pretty orange paint job.  2009 - present  (still paying off the loan I used to pay the body shop.....)


I already have the decals, but have not purchased the push bar or cb antenna.  (I even look for the crossed flags (and got ripped off by a website claiming to sell them too))

I think eventually, it will be a General, just not right away.

Body work is out of control and nobody wants to do it anymore. As much as General Lee owners cop flack at least it's all bolt on stuff that can be easily removed. I'd have a hard time putting decals on my fresh paint too unless I was definitely certain.

[kikgas01]

I will probably end up doing it to mine. Like me, hate me, oh well. Most wouldn`t trade for a regular Charger in good shape anyway.... I thought I had a different Charger bought and you know how that goes. Glad I didn`t sell mine to get it. Might as well start with a solid one.....

Let the conversion/hate posts begin...........

[bill440rt]

OK, I'll start.
Hey kikgas, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Resist the orange paint! 

That's a damn nice, sharp car. But, it's your car. (I'll still like you!)

i agree  selll ED back his car and use another ONE TO MAKE A GENERAL

[charger01]

Do whatever makes you happy Kikgas. Its only paint.   If it wasnt green I woulda traded ya.

[Ghoste]

Don't do it.

[kikgas01]

It is paint and stickers..... I couldn`t get what I wanted for this one cash wise to replace it, so....... It was light green, green interior and green top.(EVERYONE bashes it because it is green so I might as well go orange anyway) It has been painted once, some of the interior redone once, and is a 383 2 bbl car originally. I want a nice General. All I ever had was crappy ones. Besides I would keep all of the original interior and anything else I took off. That is why Ed bought that car..... is because of the Dukes. I don`t want to jack him and ask what I need for a General, but also don`t want to sell it as a favor for way less than I can get for it. I would still have to still come up with another 5 or 6 grand. I might as well keep this one. Nobody would trade a green/green/green car for a General. I wouldn`t convert it right away anyway. I really don`t care who likes it or bashes me over it. I have thick skin. If ya don`t like it, trade your General for it....

It's your car buddy so do what you need to do.  Like you and others said, it's just paint and decals.  What would you do to the interior?  I would have to have saddle in there but as a second choice I'd pick black..  I can't stand that light tan.

I have almost a full complete saddle interior coming already including dash, pads, door panels etc. I like the light tan, but I am a perfectionist.

[skip68]

Right on!   Your car will be a perfect GL platform.   You know you're gonna want another Roscoe cop car again.       
Talk to Wade, he'll get or make you another.       
What shade of orange are you going to paint it?  I used 69 Chevy hugger orange and thought it was perfectomundo. 

[JB400]

Has anybody ever used Allis Chalmers orange on one?

[kikgas01]

75 Corvette flame for me.

Oh don't you worry, Ghoste is here to take care of that 

It's a love/hate relationship... But the part that blows my mind are the opinions that float around here..  Never mind the Toyota, Honda and the rest of the ricers ,  the purists can be the biggest douche bags on the planet.. Why it bothers people this much is beyond me.

I think it's the boredom factor.  I would feel the same if all Chargers were black or green or whatever.  I used to love the GL as well until I saw the Dukes fest pics and thought I would never be able to find my car in there, they are all the same.

Sometimes it's also painful to see a fine example of a survivor and it's being turned into a GL, again.  Is this life threatening?  No.  Does it ruin your day?  Of course not.  It's just paint and decals. You have to remember that this is THE place on the web where people are most vocal about these cars.

And then there's the whole yeehaw thing.  It just doesn't fly with all of us.  All in, it's still all very innocent and I do enjoy seeing a well done GL clone, yours comes to mind first btw.  But you need to realize it is not for everyone, just as plain Chargers are not for everyone.  I can't watch the show anymore, it's just way too dumb, but I sure enjoy seeing the GL round the corner sideways.   

Except for some eye rolling, I don't see all that many haters anymore.

Oh and one more thing, the GL owners are sometimes a lot more vocal than the non GL owners.  Maybe that is a result of...but that's how I see it.

There's plenty room here for fans and non fans. 

[HeavyFuel]

What is going on here?  Overloaders of some type?  Anti-sway?

[JT01]

Those are helper springs the General lees on the show had them so the rear wouldnt drop during chases. I did my car as close to the General Lee as possible so I put them on mine to.
