MASON KID hate to dissapoint you but that isn't one fron the show. Rims are the dead give away along with the numbers are way off. Looks like it possibly could be a General Lee Enterprise car but more than likely a very early replica. I believe all the General Lee Enterpise cars had correct rims on them. General Lee Enterprise cars were built for WB but never were used in filming the TV show. They were used at all the Autoramas and World of Wheels shows back in the mid 80's early 90's. They built like 10 or 11 of them but they aren't considered "REAL" General Lees.

OK WHEW!!! RUMOR DEBUNKED!!! Just got word back from Elly.No Flags will be covered.That's a relief!! Didn't think he was serious but ya never know.

I have just learned of a recent interview with John Schneider.They were discussing the uproar about the Confederate flag and in the interview he said they are going to do their part and the flags will be covered on the cars with a magnet or something.I'll post the links hope it's ok. I hope he was joking around but he sounds serious.We at the CGLFC are trying to get official word about this interview from John himself. AGAIN THIS IS JUST RUMOR AT THIS POINT.However,IF it is indeed confirmed that the flags must be covered I will strongly say we all should boycott Dukesfest. Here is the links it is in 2 parts http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/BauerCTU_2006/?action=view¤t=RedEye_FNC_02_06_2008_01_57_41.flv part 2 http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/BauerCTU_2006/?action=view¤t=TheStrategyRoom_FNC_02_06_2008_01_5.flv

Andy Slocum was on the episode Big Brother Duke.Neither Denver or Sorrell missed an episode.Everyone else missed at least one.

I don't think it's gonna happen. WB has auctioned of all the vehicles needed to do a major production. However to do it right Danny Devito has gotta be Boss Hogg. I think he would be perfect but WB has proven twice they just don't care what most of us think or how to do it right. The Beginning cast was ok except the above mentioned. Just portray the characters close to the way they were. Get rid of the bad language and the overly done sex and drug stuff,get the original cast involved in some manner as in cameos or in the production aspect. You'd probably have a winner. WB should just leave well enough alone and let the Dukes live on in the 7 seasons on DVD.
-
I have one final thought on this whole thing. After speaking with the web designer of Dukesfest. The cast were always confirmed even though the language said might at one point. He pointed out to me that if someone wasn't committed to come why would he even bother advertising them to begin with . He apologized for any kind of mix up there may have been.

I believe it was an outhouse but not positive.
-
Roger you guessed it. It was the roll bar as you can see here. Tough one wasn't it?
-
Outside Atlanta studio where they are figuring out how to get Daisys 50$ back or her royalty money. There is something unusual about the car.
-
In the episode Daisy's Song, What is unusual about the General Lee outside of Stars recording studio?
-
Denver was older in real life by ten years. They always implied they were close to the same age on the show as they ran shine together I don't think they ever said definitely which was older of the 2 in the series I always assumed Jessie was older.
-
Umm this was covered in the other 4x4 thread. It was Arrest Jessie Duke. They modify General Lee to sit up higher to go off road but it was still only 2 wheel drive. About half way through season 2.
-
General Lee had a cracked ballast resistor that caused them trouble also a oil pump leak a radiator leak, a number of other things.
-
In "Arrest Jesse Duke" they modify the General to set up higher to go offroad.However it wasn't true 4X4 as in 4 wheel drive it was still 2 wheel drive.
-
I know it's not the correct color interior but I prefer black.I think black looks better myself on top of I can't afford to convert it over to tan. I drive it as often as money allows.
-
-
Yep black 2 times,green,orange,and technically white as Cales was white before it was transformed into a General. Oh and Glow in the dark Orange.

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/07/general-lee-no-1-to-appear-in-aprils-dupont-registry/ Why do I call it replica you may ask? Because to me that's basically all it is. You can read my posts and a guy named Dons post on there. It explains why we feel this way. It's a replica with just a very small percentage of it being the actual remnants of the actual car.
-
Darrell I'm not about to get into it about a statement you took out of context and get this topic off track again. Let us just say the car guys are more into the little details of all the vehicles,which interior color is the correct one,stuff like that and not so much details of the show itself.Where as the fans here are into the show as a whole is the best way to explain the difference.
-
I'm sorry guys but I get VERY defensive about us replica owners and will defend them to the last since I'm one of the few that come to this board. Perhaps I was a bit hasty with a poll but when AlexJackson started sorta implying bad vibes towards us car guys I went in defensive mode and got a bit upset. It's in the Schneiders ballpark how they are promoting Dukesfest.He's never done something like this before so I say cut him a little slack.He'll learn from mistakes just like Ben did. I didn't intend on starting a pi--ing match between the car guys and the average fans . The thread just sorta headed that way. Ok back on topic.

Ok Whoa,Whoa.Stop right there. Don't even go there.Don't start dissing the car guys or you'll have all those guys coming here to defend themselves. I'll see to it that happens because I am one. I was just making a point it list the cast on the car registration form to show that yes indeed they are gonna show.They are having a lottery to have X number of cars guaranteed to get signed. The cars with zero signatures are getting the first pick in the lottery. Us car owners had to complain for 5-6 years before anything was done about getting signatures on our cars. I know that there are some of you who may feel the replica owners should get no special treatment.However consider this. It was due to Wayne Wooten and his Dodge Charger registry along with Aneeshs Dukes club to start having conventions. Wayne even coined the phrase Dukesfest before it was called that.I believe it was due to Ben seeing all those General Lees at the 99 convention that gave him the incentive to do Dukesfest and it was with the help of another General Lee club that made that happen. So if it weren't for us replica guys Dukesfest may not even exist. You may disagree but I have made very good points. I'll think I'll start a poll seeing how many fans would still attend if there were no General Lees or police cars there. If the poll shows they still would go then I'll relay that to the car club and save all those guys a ton of money since fans don't care if they are there or not.

As I understand it if you go to the car registration portion it asks you which cast you need to sign your car and you are supposed to check which ones you need and Toms name is there. Someone even asked if he is definite in one of the threads and the answer was yes.The guy wasn't going unless Tom was a for sure thing.
-
Well according to the supporting staff over on CGLFC any Dukes cast listed are definitely coming including Tom Wopat if you you can believe that. I'm on the fence about Adam West as I was a Batman fan as a kid. The reason to attract non-Dukes fans? To try and hopefully convert them into Dukes fans is the only logic I can come up with. The Schneiders think it's a good idea apparently. Why don't they get Johnathan Frakes? He was a Hogg before he was Riker. That would draw alot of Trekkies to Dukesfest. I'd be far more upset if they got Johnny,Sean,Or Jessica.
want a original general lee
in The General Lee
Posted · Edited by TimDuke
concrete,Welcome to Hazzardnet. What do you mean by "original"? Do you mean one used on the TV series or one used in the 2 recent movie versions? To me the only "original" ones are the TV series survivors. I don't count the movie ones as "REAL" or "ORIGINAL" even though most of the other guys do. To me if it wasn't used by the actual original TV cast then it's just a replica even though they were built by Warner Brothers. I don't know of any TV series survivors for sale at the present time except LEE 1 and perhaps LEE 33 which is here in Ohio. LEE 1 was supposed to go up for auction last I knew. It is basically just a replica now.A whole new car built around the partial remains of the actual car. Even at that LEE 1 will probably go for close to a million at auction. LEE 33 here in Ohio was for sale about 8-9 months ago and he was asking 150,000. So unless you have very deep pockets you might as well forget a TV series LEE. Now if you're willing to settle on a movie used one they do pop up from time to time on E-bay but most of these come with NO documentation meaning you can't prove it was ever used in the movie or not and they aren't all that cheap either. Warning on IF you ever buy a TV series survivor. ALL but 6 of them are contracted by WB,meaning you are VERY restricted as far as its use. You can't advertise it being anywhere or use it in any manner to make money.
