The most famous model of the most famous car in the world! This car was named by TV Land in 2004 as the most famous car in Television History. And this is the exact car that they gave that prestigious award to. This car has done a lot for me over the last 10 years and now it can be a part of your personal collection. I will give you a brief overview of what this car has done. It appeared in the last REAL Dukes of Hazzard movie, "Dukes Go To Hollywood". And under the hood are the autographs of all the living orginial cast members and crew that were on the TV show. It has been on such shows as TV Land, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, etc. It was the car that Warner Brothers used as a template to build all the General Lee's used on the latest incarnation of the Dukes of Hazzard movie starring Jessica Simpson and Willie Nelson. And what I'm most excited about is that it has recently starred as another car named Traveller in my most recent movie, Collier & Co, Hot Pursuit! Its a great family movie that I wrote, produced, starred in, well you get the picture. Its currently in theaters in different parts of the country, and it goes to DVD in September. Check it out and watch The General do what it does best, go fast! I have personally raced this car in a rally called The Silver State Classic Challenge, held in Nevada. I have also done numerous charity events in this car including raising over $7000.00 for Speedway Childrens Charities last year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and another $4000.00 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the fall at the Sam's Town 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park.Carl Edwards, now a personal friend and Nascar superstar, drove this car himself on that track to show me the proper racing line for my rides with the winners of that auction! And in Memphis, Carl invited me to watch the race from the top of his pit box with none other than legendary team owner Jack Roush! It would take a very long time to tell you everything about this car, so lets just stick to the relevant details. Although the plate says a 426 Hemi, the car actually has a 511 crate motor from 1998 that produces approx 725hp. It has suspension by Hotchkis, auxiliary transmission by Gear Vendor, Viper brakes, and a racing steering box. Although I hate to part with this car, I am really looking forward to building a new one, something I haven't done since I built this one. One more detail, there is an article coming out in a major car magazine where this car is compared and raced against the Starsky and Hutch car, and the Batmobile. Guess who won?
Current bid:US $9,900,500.00

Fingers crossed this sale goes through without a hitch. I remember in 2006 another General Lee was auctioned on eBay by John Schneider and there were some problems with the 'buyer' backing out (iirc...)
