Plot Summary

"Ace Parker is the number two used car dealer in Hazzard. Twern't no others. But ol' Ace just couldn’t be first at anything." Except maybe being unreliable. Boss wanted to get his wife Lulu the Rolls Royce that Ace had. Ace sold it to a group of folks who turned out to be counterfeiters. Boss tells him to get the car back, and when Bo and Luke spot a wrecked car that Richard Petty used to film a commercial, Ace sees his opportunity. He tells the boys he'll let them have the car for $200 if they'll repossess the Rolls for him. Easier said than done when the boys are nearly killed trying to take the car back, and then get tangled up in trumped up charges from Rosco. So with the help of Uncle Jesse, the boys manage to outwit Boss, Rosco, the counterfeiters and Ace.

Trivia

• The Richard Petty car is actually "LEE 1", the General which makes the jump in the opening credits. After the jump, it was stripped of anything useful before being repainted and put on Ace’s lot. Years later, the wreck was found in a junkyard in Georgia. It was subsequently restored and changed hands a few times before being bought by pro golfer Bubba Watson in 2012.
• Ace Parker is played by Jerry Rushing, whose experiences in moonshining were the basis of the 1975 movie Moonrunners and later The Dukes of Hazzard.
