For those of our readers who may not have the best of vision, the photo below is not of the actual General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard show. Amazingly, it is an early 1990s Chevy truck. I was surprised too. The rims are also a small tell that this isn’t the same car that Roscoe chased the Duke boys all over the county with doing JD Hogg’s evil bidding. Those wheels are the MC Hammer pants of the automotive world. Bad when they were popular and just a sad reminder of a time I’d just as soon forget.
As stated in the title, I saw this creation sitting in the parking lot of a large chain auto parts store in Florida. After a moment’s hesitation, I blew a doughnut in the rental car for another look. As we were slowly looking the truck over, I started saying to my wife, “The only thing that could make this better is the presence of….yep, there it is.” Barely visible in this crappy cell phone photo is a partially torn down small block Chevy in the bed of the General Le….truck.
Either the dude who owns this has a sense of humor and gets a kick out of tooling around in this truck as kind of a joke or he has a small alter to Tom Wopat at home. For Wopat’s sake, we’re hoping it is the first thing we suggested.
CAPTION THIS PHOTO!!!!
I saw the Ford F250 version of this heap at a truck pull this summer. He was in front of me in line to pull, but had to abort because every time he shut it off, he had to let it cool for 10 minutes before it would restart. It eventually had to get pull-started by another truck before he gave up and went home. His truck was painted with a roller and he spent far less time on the 01 lettering on the door. It also looked like it had rolled down a steep cliff and had not been repaired before he painted it.
WOW …. coulda fooled me!!!
I’ve seen worse. Like the Ford F150 painted in Dale Earnhardt black with the 3 on the doors and roof.
I don’t know what you are talking about. That thing is just a hood slide away from going back on TV.
C’mon Brian that definatly is the same car. Squint!!!
You know Bo, I’m getting too damn old and fat to fit in that Charger, this is more my style now!
I think it needs more stickers in the back window
good thing we blacked out those tail lights, roscoe will never see us now!
“i’ll tell you what,bubba,down at walmart,i have to fight the chicks off with a stick!”
I’m disturbed and know it. I just notice weird things. The truck was repainted orange. Chevy wouldnt paint one that color orange. So it was repainted, and they put the rub strips, and fender moldings back on. For me that is as bad as making a General Lee wannabe.
Soon to be seen on a episode of Cops. Shirt optional.
proof that No Matter what state you live in, there is always a large population of Hicks.
hey wanna see shit fly?
Hey Y’all watch this!!
Lon, it might be have been an old city/state truck in that shade?
