Overall Rating:4.37 based on 19 ratings
ItemImageThe Show: The Dukes of Hazzard The Cast: Tom Wopat, John Schneider, Catherine Bach Number Of Episodes: 147 Years It Aired: 1979 to 1985 The General Lee was a ratings success right from the first episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in January 1979. The souped-up 1969 Dodge Charger, frequently gets to play the role of the hero, showing off its speed in wild car chases with the bumbling sheriff, Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best). Capable of jumping over rivers and smashing through roadblocks, the durable General Lee never appeared to suffer any damage from Bo's ferocious driving. In reality, however, the show went through approximately 300 cars from various model years with only about 20 left in drivable condition.

The best, I loved the way teh General Lee looked, big ole' souther flag, bright orange, and that horn, one of the coolest parts of this great show, next to Boss and Roscoe.

I guess there were several copies of the General Lee as one might get banged up during a show and need repair.

I saw a General Lee a couple of years ago and looked it over quite closely. Great wheels!

One of the best cars on this list. Anyone else think that it should be mandatory that all Chargers, regardless of they year, should be painted orange?

Like KITT, no show without the car. Hot chick to go with a hot car scores bonus points. :)

The show was retarded but it had a few elements working in it's favor; not the least of which were Catherine Bach's cut-off shorts and of course, the car: a 1969 Dodge Charger equipped with a 440 cubic inch Magnum V-8 (though, most of the workhorse cars used for everyday driving/filming were equipped with the Magnum 383s). The Mopar Boys were at the forefront during the later stages of the Muscle Car-era and nothing exemplified this more than their high-performance B-body series of cars, e.g., Challenger, Charger, Road Runner, GTX, etc. The 440 cubic inch V-8s that were shoehorned into some of these things were a fine example of the wretched excesses that defined this interesting cultural phenomenon: with enough torque to alter the earths rotational axis and terribly underrated at an Official 390 horse power (independent dyno-tests showed them to be actually making over 430 horse power), these cars were straight-line monsters that could run with the best that The Bow-Tie Boys and The Blue Oval Gang could throw at them. With its superior underpinnings and power train, The General Lee was indeed the real deal. In fact, the only thing keeping me from a higher rating is the cornea-searing Big Bad Orange color-scheme and that monstrosity painted on the roof.

okay car.I wonder how many teenagers, and young adults ruined their cars jumping over whatever so they could be like the Dukes of Hazard. I bet all those body repair shops had a big business for awhile. I heard too they went through hundreds of cars for this show. I remember reading that the show had people who would buy cars like these models just for the show.

I used to have a 70 Challenger that looked a lot like the Gen.Lee.It had a 383 engine,4 barrel carb,and would pass anything but a gas station!
