- kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33thanks for the quick response am okay with price,and because am far away from united states so don't worry about the shipment i have shipping agent that carter for my pick up any where in the world. i will instruct my client to send you a cashier's cheque of (12,000,000) so what you have to do immediatley the check gets to you just deduct the funds for the car($10,000,000) and send the excess money ($2,000,000) to my shipping agent so that they can be able to pick the car up from your destination and which will also covers the shipping fees of my other consignments in the state. so if this is okay by you, you can forward your full name, address and cell phone number. expecting your response back.
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18i'm sure that a guy who has the ability to drop 10 million on the general lee is really thinking of the "investment".
- Cwo655321, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8site appears down,
heres the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250108256198 - Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hey, Kenny! Happen to have that 40% you promised me? I've been waiting for a while now, and I need that money to pay my rent - the $50,000 you asked for is really starting to come back to haunt me. Let me know!
- copperhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I don't think they did. There was a great scene with them driving down the road (in Atlanta, I think) with the flag on the roof of the car.
- dougneff, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Shepherd to Lost Sheep . . .
- Tarl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@ mhearne:
did you watch the movie? - adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Damn, those are gonna be some mighty PayPal fees. Who wants to start taking best that they freeze the transaction thinking it's a fraud, then don't return any of the money.
- lordbeef, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3For car sales on eBay, only the deposit (like $500) is paid through PayPal,the rest you arrange with the seller directly.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Lol he probably has a few more "last ever" ones stashed away somewhere . there are quite a few of them about.
- tshaman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I was watching this auction for the past couple days. It slowly went up from $500,000 to $2 million, then quickly from $2 to $4 million and then very quickly from $4 to $9 million. I'm sure the last bids were not real because of the huge jumps and because they were from new eBay members, although one of the $4 million offers was from a long-time member. Because of that I'd be willing to bet $100 that the deal doesn't go through and that we see the car up for auction again, not on eBay but somewhere official like Barrett-Jackson or Christie's. However, I think it'll eventually sell for between $2.5 - 3.5 million, which is still a respectable price.
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ya, I was thinking about that. Doing a Paypal transaction of 9 Million would get me pretty nervous!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'd pay $20 million for cooter's tow truck. you know he was knobbing daisy in it every day and twice on sunday.
- danarama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4i can't beleive people use ebay for this *****
- ngc1976, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4That's enough for what, seven Veyrons?
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I read an article that said that they would go through a few cars EACH EPISODE.
I could pull a charger out of a junkyard within 50 miles of where they shot that show, and still get a few hundred grand for it! - moofer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Beats all you never saw...
- aidenuncle48, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7You have to wonder, does the buyer actually think this car is going to appreciate from this point?
- Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1
I'd like to just say, so it's on the record and I look awesomely prescient a hundred years from now, that THERE IS NO WAY anyone is paying that amount for that car. The car didn't even make it on camera, so technically it's closer to a celebrity (?) owned commemorative. A quick search turned up a mint 1969 Dodge Charger hard-top that underwent a complete body-off rotisserie restoration that just sold at Barrett-Jackson for $61,000. Is anyone suggesting that a paint job, some signatures, and being owned by John Schneider commands a $9,839,500 premium? I don't think you'd get that much if it were owned by John Adams. Hell, you could probably buy John Schneider himself for half that.
Fake bids, fake bids, fake bids.
The real money comes from true car collectors, and they're not interested in anything like this. They're interested in the history of the automobile industry, not a mock-up resembling something that was once on television. If it's truly in perfect shape then it's worth $100,000 tops to a wealthy collector as the centerpiece of an already-extensive DoH collection. And my guess is that wealthy people with extensive DoH collections is a pretty short list. - riverside71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow.. looks like the buyer backed out.. I got a second chance offer on this item in my e-mail.. I'm sure Western Union is safe to send funds to the seller in Ukraine right?
- dreicher, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Wasn't watching the auction, but I don't think its unreasonable for a "bazillionaire" to register on eBay just for a single item where they never had need to order off eBay in the past.
- M0b1u5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1100:1 odds he never sees one cent of that 10 Million.
Bogus auction. - weeman43302, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2why didn't the guy just make a general lee with all that money?
- liamvictor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I wonder what Daisy's shorts would go for
- Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1
My mistake, it was on camera -- but I'm still sticking with my $100,000...And my grandiose claims of prescience.
- SwiftJ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Yell it with me...YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAW!
- BobTrips, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2My town (Bridgeville, CA) sold for $1+ million on Ebay.
When the buyer came to check it out the deal fell through.
(Anyone want to buy a town? It's back on the market. Yet again.) - yaddayaddayoda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"The South will rise again!"
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not just driving, there was a whole scene about them in a very African American neighborhood / College campus and wondering why everyone was looking at them funny (it was the roof).
- NSResponder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Them Duke boys sure know how to whip up an auction frenzy!
Meanwhile, Daisy was at home getting older every day. Can't hardly tell her from Uncle Jesse no more.
-jcr - mhearne, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5The Confederates were very honorable people in general. Only the elite and very wealthy owned slaves. Most of the soldiers were just farmers protecting their homes.
Don't forget that most of our "Founding Fathers" owned slaves, including the gentleman on the quarter and the dollar bill. It was a very different world back then.
I really think that anti-white racism will ultimately result in a counter-revolution. Some people just don't know when to quit. - yeahbuddy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2So the fella that owes the seller $10 million bucks typically buys and sells $10-$70 pocket knives, purses, and wallets on eBay.
Then he buys the General Lee.
Fake bid. End of story.
Nothing to see here kids, move along. - mhearne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Right! Remember when Max Baer Jr. (alias "Jethro") made the movie "Macon County Line"?
The most fun part of that movie was watching the credits at the end. - ewetubing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It even has the Confederate Flag on the roof. The driver will probably be busted for a hate crime if he drives it outside of the state of South Carolina.
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'd take a veyron any day.
- Fredtheviking, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"Kids, just say no to crack."
I think that about say it all for me. (Yes, i did take the comment from comment section of article. Yes, I did it because I don't have any creativity whatsoever.) - plathrop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The car that was sold was the primary car used for filming, there were several stunt cars that were used for all of the damaging shots. And if I had the cash, I would have built another 69 Charger and put a new hemi in it and saved about 9.85 million.
- jamesvlla, on 02/02/2009, -0/+0a database full of thousands of different repo cars just waiting for you to bid on! You cannot find a better way to purchase a car http://www.carauctionseek.com/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Tell john snotter not to go out and spend it all just yet. Probably fake bids.
Bet that had some steep ebay fees involved nonetheless. - crossers, on 07/14/2008, -0/+0huh! who interested in Daisy's shorts? ))

http://www.pmidsig.org - superjanna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It appears the car wasn't ever shown on the series. But it does have tons of autographs from the cast!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18497769/ - ganjadude4391, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1this was not the car in the jessica simpson remake this is from back in the day and it was in his personal movie if you guys actually read about it on ebay you would know these things
PS my buddy does have a fully restored general from the TV show it is in better shape and other than the owner being bo duke, its not a good condition car in the scheme of things - ewetubing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Didn't they cut the auction of Manny Ramirez's grill off once it hit the $2-3million range? (Manny R is a Major League Boston Red Sox baseball player for you cricket-loving Brits here.) How can they let this auction run up? The car is simply worth nowhere neat that amount. It is a fraudulent bid. Has to be.
Many of these cars were wrecked during the shooting of the episodes over many years. There is no one true General Lee. According to the article below, they often kept one dozen or more on set at any one time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_Lee
Now...landing Daisy's Jeep...that would be a find. - frepnog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why so much venom in here about this? If someone had just paid 10 million bucks for , say, a copy of Action Comics number 1, Detective Comics number 27, Amazing Stories number 15, X-Men Number 1, The Amazing Spiderman Number 1, Batman number 1 all in mint condition you would all be saying "damn, I wish that was me". If the auction was real, someone paid what they thought the car was worth to them to own a piece of television history. Chill out, people.
- bigp3rm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Didn't they have like 20 of these during the shows filming because they broke so many? So thats 1 down 19 to go!
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -3/+1Where in hell does someone get $9,900,500.00 to spend on the General Lee?
I can see the conversation now at the bank : "I needun a $10,000,000.00.." "Wha fo?" "Tah bid on the General Lee." "O. Ok. Promise not to get road kill in the grill and u'll be gud." "Nah, me an' the boys just wanna take her out fer' a spin on a few ramps." - DieGOPNazis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0At $3/gallon for gas, probably some Texan redneck bought it. They can wipe their asses with $100 bills now thanks to Dubya. I'm glad they killed off that redneck Schneider on Smallville. Of course knowing the Superman storyline, I was looking forward to that day when I first saw "Mr. I Backdoor Sheep" on the show and his southern drawl.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1well, if the bid is real, then those ten million dollars just got a lot smarter, having just left the pocket of a COMPLETE ***** MORON. seriously, if you can't figure out something better to do with your money than this, how completely pathetic.
- fargo182, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3First this cars a piece of trash, it's not even an original. It's worth nothing more then the shell. It doesn't even have the original engine, it has one from 1998 and aftermarket suspension. The guy use dit as a ploy on Ebay to plug some stupid movie he wrote/starred/produced himself. Only a complete idiot would pay that much for garbage like that, and it takes an even bigger idiot to skip the info he wrote stating it's not original.
It was a gimmick to get sales for his movie and I can guarantee the sale isn't real.
Btw didn't they use mostly challengers in the show that looked like chargers to cut costs? - mhearne, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I noticed that none of the pictures showed the roof. I wonder if the flag is still up there?
They sure took it out in the movie remake.
