General Lee Vector Wheel from Movie Car on eBay, Good Read!!

[bill440rt]

I normally don't post stuff like this, but I just couldn't resist. Unfortunately, this stems from the Barrett-Jackson circus that just left town.
Check out how this seller comes up with the price on this one:

Where did they get the price....from Barrett Jackson of course!

Taken from the auction:
"The General Lee features American Racing "Vector" rims that had 10 spokes and were all aluminum. The vectors are no longer in production by American Racing but it isn't too hard to find the originals or clones on Ebay. One thing to note is that Buick has a rim from 1985 that looks like the vectors but the bolt pattern is different than what your Charger is going to need. You may still be able to use the Buick rims if you re-drill the holes or use an adapter. When looking on Ebay for rims, be careful as many will be advertised as "General Lee rims!" but will have 20 spokes."


Um yes they are. American Racing is making them again....

You can just see the greed seeping through that auction ad.

Sell them to these guys. They might pay you around $300 each for them, because they can make $200 profit minus shipping cost.

They are on their way though. They already have a $25 bid.

Gee, my brand new ones cost me that much with shipping

Back in 1979, this TV series started to be filmed in Covington, Georgia. However, only the very 1st 5 episodes were filmed there on location. Then, they moved to Burbank, California. This change also brought slight differences on the 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee. This is why some pro General Lee Builders will refer to "Georgia Style" or "California Style" decals. The difference is in the "General Lee" lettering. Darker and bolder typeface was used in Georgia style General Lee.

I find it amazing how with all the information and technology at everyones fingertips, a guy can still make decals so incorrect and call them '100% accurate'. His movie style text is nice, but you can still buy them from Phoenix Graphics.

Heh, "cheap" and "rip-off" are the first words that come to mind.

His movie style text is nice,

I actually prefer the Georgia and California styles.
I am totally against the 2005 movie and the 2007 TV movie.

but you can still buy them from Phoenix Graphics.
