Dodge Charger 1969 - General Lee Movie Car

Dodge Charger – Description.

Up for sale is one of the nicest General Lees you will find. I have owned this car for 4 years. There are a lot of "thrown together" General Lee's out there built by people who flip cars or had no money to do it right. This is not one of those cars.

This car was built to be just like John Schneider’s personal General Lee. Here is a what the car has.

First off, it's a Genuine 1969 Dodge Charger. Collectors don't want a 68 or 70 that has been changed to look like a 69. The General Lee is a 69 Charger

Now about the General Lee...

This car has real vintage American Racing rims that have been POWDER COATED. Not those god-awful re-issues. This car has the 15" American Racing rims. It gives the car a much more aggressive look with the bigger tires.

Screen accurate POWDER COATED front push bar that is bolted to the car.

New Legendary seat covers that are the correct color for the show with rare "buddy seat".

Car comes with the correct teardrop antenna (brand new)

Dixie Horn wired to separate hidden horn switch. You have two horns in this car. A regular horn on the wheel and Dixie under the dash.

The Bad

The General Lee has a few rust spots in the typical rust prone areas for a Charger. The spots are on the two rear quarter panels and on the trunk area next to the rear window. Any good body man should be able to patch these and paint them easily. The car is painted in single stage paint (paint + clear mixed) this makes it super easy for body shops to fix up scratches, etc. (see photos) I would rate the paint about a 7/10. It's good, not great. If the car was newly painted it would be a lot more as you can appreciate, saying that the car looks great. I would rather under sell than over sell the cars.

The car has no roll bar.

I could never get the reverse lights to come on in reverse. When I put power to them, they come on so there must be a bad ground or bad switch.

The front door lights don't come up on their own. You must flip them up manually if you are going to drive at night.

That's it, other than these small things the car is fantastic
