Bristow, Indiana, United States

Ok, I am letting go of my beloved General Lee Charger. Due to circumstances out of my control, here is your chance. Feel free to ask anything because I am VERY thorough and I know this car front to back, inside and out. I will give you an honest description of my car for better or worse. I have invested a lot of money, blood, sweat and tears into this car. This car looks amazing in pictures but is in NO WAY near a $75,000 show car. Bid with 100% confidence. This car is by far the most fun I have ever had owning a car and was a "bucket list" item for me. Now it is time to pass it on.
This car has been a General Lee since the late 1980's-early 1990's. I found it in a field. It was in need of everything from brakes, interior, rear end to motor and transmission. I bought it with the intention of NEVER selling it. Therefore I spent a fortune on it. This car has had a colorful life. The car has a rough look to it which makes people assume that it is a "real" General Lee when they see it. Overall the car starts, runs and drives GREAT! Just a fun car to take the kids out in, drive in parades or just draw a crowd anywhere. Body: This car is a 1970 Charger with a '69 front clip. The lower quarter panels are full of old Bondo and dated, poor body work. Pics say a lot but I will answer any specifics you may have anytime! Front subframe could use a repair or replaced, but rears appear to be solid. Paint on the front end, roof and trunk lid is different from the doors and quarters. Looks close but still obviously a shade different. Dents, dings, scratches and so on. There has been bondo work done to the surrounding of the rear window as well. Not sure what was going on there. Trunk pan is in rough shape but was replaced at some point with something else. Most of the body work appears to have been done by hillbilly professionals prior to my acquisition of the car lol. Interior: All factory original seats professionally reupholstered. The floors had been patched up front with factory style patch panels and looked pretty good. Interior panels painted tan but done nicely. Speedometer works. Thats it. No other gauges work. Aftermarket oil, temp and fuel gauges work. Horn works perfect though. Stereo with Ipod jack and vintage Cobra CB works great! All exterior lights work fine (Hi/Lo, turn, brake and so on) and so does the dome light. Headlight doors do NOT open and are not hooked up to anything. They have to be manually opened for night time driving. I met Jimmy Best (Rosco) in person and had him sign my glove box lid. Roll bar is as close as I could get to TV show quality. It is muffler tubing and all welded together and bolted to the floor. It would NOT protect you in a roll over! Engine/Trans: Engine is a STRONG '66 model 383 Commando V8 4bbl with a Weiand intake and new Edelbrock #1406 4bbl. New starter, all new electronic ignition system, alt., radiator, hoses, and so on. Engine runs SMOOTH and has tons of power! No smoke or issues. 727 Torque Flight transmission shifts STRONG too! Car is FAST and will burn the tires off! Suspension: I installed a new front disc brake conversion kits including spindles, sway bar bushings, lower ball joints, rotors, calipers and so on. Front end NEEDS a proper alignment. I never did have it aligned after the work was completed. Wheels are Vector "01" Limited General Lee editions. Rear end is an 8 3/4 #741 case with 3:55 gears. All new rear brake lines and shoes. New gas tank as well and sender. In closing we have had a TON of fun with this car. YES it is rough around the edges, YES it needs a few this and thats but it is more fun than anything I have EVER owned. People walk right past $50,000 hot rods to line up and get pictures in this car. No joke. Anyway, SERIOUS buyers only please. Always here to help with shipping. Please do not email asking "What's your bottom dollar". I have priced the car accordingly and it is VERY reasonable for a BIG BLOCK, TAN INTERIOR, DISC BRAKE General Lee! Car is titled, insured and plated to me. Clear title in hand. Also I am not interested in ANY trades of ANY kind. If the car does not sell here in this listing, it will NOT be relisted. It will remain in my garage. Thanks and best of luck to all! (812)631-9244 Car is sold "As Is" and "Where Is" obviously. I welcome and encourage potential buyer to come and inspect the car in person. We can take it for a drive! I prefer "cash on the barrelhead" but will take a cashiers' check. NO PAYPAL for full amount! Take care, I'm gone. On Dec-31-13 at 07:54:24 PST, seller added the following information:Well folks I sure appreciate the calls and emails so far. Been a real pleasure. It is killing me to accept the fact that my car will be sold. Whoever wins the auction will gain instant celebrity status though. That is a fact! You will become "the people with the General Lee". It is amazing the amount of people who still relate to these cars from our childhood TV heros. In fact, if you Google "General Lee", 9 out of 10 images are of the Charger and not the real general. That says something about pop culture for sure. These are the most recognized cars on the planet and will never go out of style. Thanks for the interest and again, please ask anything at anytime. On Dec-31-13 at 17:28:49 PST, seller added the following information:I forgot to post engine pics so here is a quick look under the hood and at the floors prior to carpet installation. Sorry about that. |

2013 Dodge Durango R/T
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
Driving Notes
Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?
Wed, 16 Jul 2014When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.
Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.
