The 'drift' General from the 2005 movie

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new (literally) to posting in the forum, but I have enjoyed reading them for quite a while.

I'm not sure if this is a proper place to put this, but I hope that it is. I spotted a General from the 2005 (and 2007) Dukes movie at the 2009 Car Craft Nats in St Paul, MN. This General was the car that did the drifting scene all the way around Lee circle and was also the only 4-speed car used in the movie! He was also used in the scenes at the end banging fender-to-fender (and door-to-door) with the black Shelby Mustang. He now has a different passenger door, but the rest of it is as it was on the movie - roll cage, hand e-brake, and painted on dirt! He's now privately owned by Troy Martinson in Minnesota.

I interviewed Troy for the weekly podcast from The MuscleCar Place (my business). It was really fun to learn about the car. If you'd like to take a listen you may do so here!
