I missed this story at the end of last year, but luckily it was mentioned on the new series of 'The Grand Tour'. Here's a '68 Dodge Charger fitted with the 426 Hemi Hellephant crate motor similar to the one found in the Hellcat. As well as the 1,000-hp engine, there's a six-speed manual transmission, six-piston Brembo brakes and Hellcat wheels measuring 20 inches in front and 21 inches in back. More info here. There are several videos about the car, including this one:

Wonder if the Duke boys would have jumped this around Hazzard. I love that the stripes follow the curve of the body. Hope it gets restored with that paint job. Heck put the 1776 flag on the roof and call it General Washington.

I noticed in The Ghost of the General Lee, and I think in a few other episodes too, there is a white Chevy Impala; in The Ghost episode it's parked downtown when the General is 'driving itself'. Can anyone tell me for sure if this is a '65? It looks like a '65 four door, which is a hard to find car. My brother had a '65 Chevy Impala four door; he passed away a few years back at 19. We still have his car, and we collect anything we can that is a '65 Impala - especially if it's a four door. Just a random thought, if anyone wanted to give some feedback.

My first car that my dad bought me for my 16th birthday was a 1966 Ford Mustang GT (is there any other?) It was maroon with dark red leather and wood interior. She wore wide white letter tires with real wire hub caps and she was powered by a 289 high performance engine with a 4 barrel carberator. She looked good and was fast too! I really loved that car and actually drove her for about 6 years before my dad bought me a 1973 Chevrolet Nova (that I fell in love with at first sight!) But we kept the mustang in the family and my dad drove her for another 6 years.

I have searched here I have spent a ton of time on the internet searching I need a good picture of the Dixie Decal on the side of Daisy's Jeep. I can't find a good screen capture or picture of it. I know it is a golden Eagle edition and I know where to get that decal but I need a good Picture so I can have a local company recreate me a vinyl graphic. If anyone has a picture of it please email it to vstar650vt@yahoo.com Thanks a Bunch! Mike

I know there are at least 2 General Lee's in the area. I was wondering if they post up on here? I'm usually up @ the "83rd Ave & Beardsley" carshow on Saturdays. So if any of you "Hazzard" replica owners live in the area, message me. It'd be cool to get together.

Hey y'all I've decided to strip down and rebuild my daily rider to it's former glory. I got it in 2007 for my birthday, and it's the last bike that my parents bought me. However despite it being the youngest bike I have, it's in the worst condition by far. It barely ran (only in the gear ratio 1-5), the front wheel was buckled from a collision with a car last year,the gears were gone, the back brake jammed whenever I used it, someone stole the badge from the front if the bike, the front brake barely worked and the rubber on the brake was torn off in the car collision and I never got round to fixing it, the rear tire was ready to burst (it had a duct tape patch holding i…

Hey y'all It was suggested to me back in November that I call my white ladies racer Dixie. Somehow Dixie just didn't seem right for that bike. I recently got back into recumbent bikes. They're bikes that you sit back on and the pedals are infront of the handlebars. Unfortunately they are really expensive so I decided to build one myself. Here's a picture of what I'm basing mine on I started searching,an found someone selling three kids bikes for €20 total! The one on the left is going to supply the handlebars,pedals,front forks,chain and wheel. The middle one is going to be the main bike that I sit on. The one on the right is going to donate it's axles to help hold …

Hey y'all! I'm in my final year of school, and have big exams at the end of the year. One of the exam subjects I do is woodwork, and we're allowed to make anything we want (within reason). I started off building a wooden bike frame, but I wouldn't have had enough time to finish it. I then decided to make a wooden push go-kart. I'm nearly finished building the rolling frame, then I just have to paint it (a la General Lee of coarse!), and maybe add a foam seat. Here are some of the pictures from birth to current state. The main frame. The back and sides. I used finger joints to hold the three sides together, then screwed them into the main frame. The sides and back screwe…

Hey everyone. This is what I like to sometimes call "my go-kart". Its my pride and joy. I hope you like it. Its a 2001 Honda Civic EX coupe I've been working on it slowly for a few years now. It has a 1.7L sohc vtec with a 5spd. I was running a 75 shot of nitrous on it until I sold it recently. At the moment I have a full tein coilover-damper suspension dropped 3 inches in the front and 2.5" in the rear. Front and Rear strut tower bars and rear lower tie bar. Cold air intake, full mandrel bent 2.5" downpipe and cat-back stainless exhaust. ACT heavy duty clutch and super street disc. Upgraded Headgasket and ARP headstuds. Wheels are from a 00 civic Si and are wrapped in f…

Hey y'all! I Love my Truck! I have a Ford Bronco XLT. Although it is older ( I like to say it just has character!) and is a little rough looking, I just LOVE it! I also have a Chevy Blazer, I like driving that around town. Chargers are great, and I love Pontiac TransAms. Esspecially Black. Yes, I am also a Knight Rider fan! Does anyone have this problem: You just can't help it, when you see a nice looking vehicle your head turns! Khee! Hot Pursuit! General Grant

Hello everyone, I just bought a 1968 Ford F350 and am starting the process of turning it into a 1967 Cooter Ford wrecker clone. I hope to have it done in time to take it to Cooter's Last Stand this summer. I have taken out the grille (I have a 67 grille in my basement) and other trim pieces, in preparation to redo a cab corner, fill in door mirror holes, then strip the old paint and repaint. Then I will take the bed off of the black Chevy in the picture, and move it over to my Ford. The grey Chevy wrecker will one day be a Cooter's wrecker as well, but it needs too much work and money to be done by July 29th. I am a farmer and we are soon to be starting our bus…

I found a '79 F350 wrecker a while back and the guy held it for me until I could buy it. It had been his yard crane for years and he finally just parked it. After it sat for 5 years, slowly sinking into the ground, we used a back hoe to pull it out of it's grave. A testament to old Ford trucks. I had it fired up and running in 30 minutes after we got it home. The brakes on the other hand were a different story. I had to replace all the steel lines, brake hoses and brake master and booster. I also replaced all the fuel lines and filter. I just took it for it's maiden voyage today. I still have lots of work to do, but it's well on it's way to becoming a useful piece of equ…

After building, modifying and generally working on bikes for the past few years I've decided to step things up a notch, and have a go at designing,fabricating and building my own custom bike frame. I went through about a dozen designs, before finally settling on this one. This is a cross between an American beach cruiser, and a chopper motorcycle. I've decided to use only materials I have in my garage for this build. Luckily I have some round steel tubing, which is ideal for the frame. I'm going to incorporate the rear fender into the frame, so will probably use sheet metal for the rear fender. The rear dropouts, where the back wheel goes, is going to be the front forks…

This may have been posted before, but as I was looking at the page that shows all the cars used by characters in the show, I noticed there was some inaccuracies when it came to Daisy's cars. True, she started out the show with a yellow 1973/74 Plymouth Road Runner...but the story goes, when parts became too difficult to find to repair the few they had on the show, they switched to a 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring...painted with the Road Runner paint scheme. So, the '71 she used was actually a Satellite, and not a Road Runner. Just FYI. What I don't understand though, is in 1979 a '74 vehicle would have only been 5 years old...you're telling me that barely five years l…

I have just found out that my dixie air horn does not fit my car, so I will have to get an electronic version instead. It is not the same I know but what else can I do, I cannot get a bigger car. It has 5 plastic trumpets, a 12V compressor, a relay, hose and instructions as standard. But I also have some 30A fuses, a fuse holder and a switch. Also, if anyone is interested, I have made a metal custom bracket designed to hold all of the trumpets in many arrangments. I am looking in the region of around 75 US Dollars for the lot. It has never been used once, it is brand new, in perfect condition, and comes with the parts that are not normally included. All that is neede…
