Our soft spot for General Lee Dodge Chargers runs pretty deep and we’re not ashamed to admit that. We followed the epic rebuild of the Hack Job General Lee from the get go, and it was one of the most popular series of stories that we’ve ever run. Consider this the opposite of the hack job because this eBay auction features a General Lee that was restored to a high level and then totally mangled in a bad crash. Mangled isn’t a strong enough word, so obliterated is what we should probably use. 

The car had less than 300 miles on it when the grandson of the restorer destroyed it. By looking at the photos we can’t really figure out the gist of the wreck. The nose of the car is pretty much untouched, but the roof was so screwed that it looks like first responders to the crash used the jaws of life to clip the C-pillars and remove it. The rear of the car looks as though someone parked a Caterpillar D9 dozer on it.

This kid who crashed the car isn’t dead. We know that because gramps claims that he and the boy are building another car to replace the General that he finished off. We’re thinking a stock 1950s VW Beetle would be about the power level this kid can handle. It seems he ran out of talent before finding the limits of the Charger.

The car had a mild 383 in it along with a Dana 60 and a nice stack of decent parts. Obviously, the only thing a buyer can do with this heap is to strip off what he or she needs and send the rest to the scrapper. That is unless the buyer is into performing miracles. In that case, a full resto is in order. 

You need to hit the link below to see what this car looks like. Even the guys on the set of the original show didn’t destroy ’em this bad!

Thanks for the tip Blazerteam!
