Hi guys, I thought I start a new topic about my car to keep on subject in the other topic about Tom Sarmento.
Well, my General Lee. For people that don't know the car, I own a 1969 Dodge Charger and made a LEE1-replica out of it. Not 100% accurate, but comes very close.
I bought the car from a company in your country that where suppose to have restored it but they cut corners. Don't want to say much more about that, what has been done has been done...
It was the reason for me to redo the car back in 2009 and decided to make a LEE1-replica because I didn't want just a General Lee but a specific car. The car was finished in 2010.
I had a lot of fun with it! Used it a lot as a weddingcar for people, several carshows and even was invited for TV shows here in The Netherlands. But the best was 2013 when I picked up John Schneider in Germany for a comic-con event. John drove my car with me riding shotgun! Priceless! And also the 2 years Tom Sarmento stayed with us and drove the car! I think I am a lucky guy and am gratefull that it al happened!
Anyway, had great years with my car untill it broke down in 2018 with a leaking transmission and worn out cilinderheads. The car hasn't been out since but at the moment it has my priority to get it running again this year!
Atteched a pic of my car a few years back in better days.
