Default The Resurrection of General Lee # 1

This took a lot of work I would have thought the un-body
would be bent to hell

There's a guy down the street from me that must be the supplier of a the "new" General Lee's for the movies that were made.

He has at least 10 of them in different stages of transformation into that car for the last 2 years, and the inventory keeps changing.

The place is called Luedtke Performance Auto Group.

I use to own a General Lee car from the days before Warner Bro's took over the show. Realy cool car !! I forget the sticker that was one the passenger side mirror from the company that built them. I even talked to one of the stunt guys who owned the car..

Sometimes lurker here and Team Chevelle member Tom Hendricks used to own this car. He sent a ton of pictures to me when it was found in a field, pulled, cleaned up and put back together. Very cool story and history on the car. The tag on the dash said something like "General #1".

In the midst of all the usual General Lee car foolishness, this car is THE one that matters...very cool!!!.
Why does the main body appear to be an unpainted B5 Blue car...Im sure if clipping it, a better donor would've been used?.

With the popularity of the series and the continued following,
it's difficult to believe that the original General Lee
ended up in such bad shape.

Now if we could just make Catherine Bach look that good again. In all seriousness, I agree with Pete, This IS the car that matters. I am glad to see THE GENERAL rising up again. Being born in 68', I never missed that show, and it is still great to catch rerunns.
