The General Lee Car
The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is a 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the Duke boys, Bo and Luke, along with cousins Coy and Vance (in season 5). It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one ("Mary Kaye's Baby"). The car's name is a reference to American Civil War general Robert E. Lee. It bears a Confederate flag (a rectangular variant of the square battle flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia) on its roof, and also has a horn which plays the first 12 notes of the song "Dixie".
The idea for the General Lee was developed from the bootlegger Jerry Rushing's car, which was named for Lee's favorite horse, Traveller. Traveller was also the name of the car in Moonrunners, the 1975 movie precursor to The Dukes of Hazzard.
The Bodies we are offering have an interesting past.  Originally sold many years ago at the Chicago Illinois USA Slot Car Show.  They were bought in bulk and shipped to Germany.  Many were sold over the years, but late last year we  bought the remaining Inventory of bodies from Germany.  Many of the bodies have their Brand Name on them and many don’t.  We do know that these bodies were made by many slot car manufacturers.
My Dad owned a Hobby Shop that closed in the early 1970's, and he kept some of the more interesting slot cars and accessories from that era.  The items I am listing are in most cases, near new or gently used.  I have taken many pictures to show every angle and have tried to describe all features and/or flaws to the best of my ability.  Please email with any questions specific to something I may have missed. Please check my other listings as I will be selling many cars, accessories and track in all three scales-- HO, 1/32nd, and 1/24th.
If you don't see the car or part you are looking for, please email me.  If I have it, I will list it for you.  Many of the items in my inventory  are  NEW OLD STOCK.
These items come from a non-smoking environment.
Please look carefully at the pictures. We do out best to accurately describe each item, condition of the item and any defects.
