So I know some people here have a negative opinion of General Lee tribute cars. However, if it wasn't for the Duke's of Hazzard I probably wouldn't be here or have the love for B body cars that I do. So this past weekend my friends and I drove up to Luray, VA for what was supposedly the last Duke's of Hazzard reunion event with all of the surviving members of the cast there. There were over 200 General Lee's registered for the show, with all the mud from Friday nights rain there might have only been 150+. Several of Daisy's '72 Roadrunner in the show too, but it was mostly just a sea of General's.
They did a ramp to ramp jump of a General Lee to close the event both days. I have to admit I was kind of bothered by the idea of jumping and potentially messing up another '69 Charger. Turns out, the car being jumped was a '99 Ford Crown Vic cut up with all the exterior Charger sheet metal attached. That way if it gets messed up they just buy some more repop sheet metal and fix it. Check out the last 2 pics, looks kind of funny seeing a Crown Vic dash inside a Charger.
