Jacob's Video: • FIELD FIND 1969 CHARGE...
Let's make this 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee run and drive for the first time in many years! It's been sitting abandoned after a fresh repaint, so let's bring it back from forgotten status to back on the road!

This was an absolute blast man! About the most fun I’ve ever had working on a car and getting to live out so many car guys childhood dreams by running from the cops in an orange ‘69 Charger! 🙌🏼 Thanks for all the help Dylan!

[@lancehigdon8683]

I love that man keep it

[@anthonyblow7127]

Those other figures u found is Jimmy super fly n the ultimate warrior those look original bro the could be worth a few bucks

[@JAYFEATHERBOONDOCKS]

You guys killed it on this video. Watching a charger do donuts tearing up a field never gets old.

[@jrussellcase]

I can't believe this video snuck past me 3 days ago, but I found it now. You guys made my day with the PO-lice chase, Dukes Of Hazzard style. You even found the right background music. I'm 52 and that's still one of my favorite shows. Dylan and Jacob got this right. 👍 I can't wait to see what this car becomes.

[@nedkelly9688]

Lol i saw the cop car in the garage and thought they better do a cop chase video once running.

[@sellarsmitchell]

This has gotta be one of the best rides for awhile... But Dylan, you deserve your own clean Charger by now after all these resurrections!

[@robertvance1873]

I Agree Dylan needs a Nicely Painted Cruiser

[@srrrb5953]

Or maybe completely clean and restore one of his mopar

[@MavenFade]

He has a Charger, he just needs to get it right!

[@davelewandoski4292]

His Blue Dart is done, and the Challenger is as done as he wants it.

[@terryeustice5399]

Thank you Dylan helping Jacob get this old charger going so he can finish restoring it. A fun video guys! 💯👍👊

[@bretthibbs6083]

Dylan this was the best video yet. I'm 49 going to be 50 in a couple of weeks and this one brought me back in time nearly 46 years ago when I watched the Dukes of Hazzard with my mom every Friday night we both would sit on the couch and watch the show together. The music and everything brought back so many memories. I got a dvd set with all of the episodes of the dukes of hazzard that I bought 22 years ago I haven't watched it in a long time.

[@erneststanford2245]

Yes! Dukes followed by The Incredible Hulk with Lou Ferigno. The best time to grow up.

[@armedinbama]

There is no cooler car in history than the General Lee. Not the Bandit T/A, not the Mach 5, not the "Striped Tomato", not Black Beauty, not even Speed Buggy!

[@PontiacII]

Not even Herby

[@seaboltandsonsautomotivead2510]

Growing up in the 80s absolutely love the dukes always dreamed of owning a general absolutely love this video

[@nicklewis7291]

That was so cool. Getting the police car out and playing the music from the 1st episode of the Dukes was the best.

[@Scotts23]

DIXIE IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS WHEN SHE PINCHED THAT GLOVE OH MAN IT CRACKED ME UP 😂

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Dylan, all that's missing is Daisey and Boss Hogg! Them Duke boys are back! Fun Video!

[@billyduffany3387]

I can't imagine leaving that car in a field. I like how they went with the 1969 fenders and rear quarters. 69 is personally my favorite of the 3 years.

[@Chicago_Cars]

So much fun! The chase at the end was absolutely perfect, great video!

[@Berndhardiner]

It is always so fascinating, that a silly 80s tv show can be such a huge impact. I grow up here in Germany with the Duke-Boys and Fall Guy, they were my absolute childhood heroes and I think thats where my obsession with cars came from. Dude, that chase part at the end? Right in the feels :D Love to see more of the General.

[@j.sargent9172]

Would of never guessed it aired in Germany, definitely where my love started. My uncles on both mom n dad's side are car enthusiasts. One has a 450hp 68 camaro, other has a 69 corvette with 20k original miles. I never saw them as a kid though, and no one else liked cars.

[@rager1969]

I love the ending with the cop car chasing the Charger- very cool, although Daisy chasing you guys always scares me. I don't want her to get hurt.

[@danielneeley5480]

So glad to see you young men working together again, we don't have the Dixie horn but we have Dixie the dog. 😅

[@skepticjoe]

Dude....the chase scene was pretty funny/awesome....and I almost never leave comments. Looks like the kind of fun I wish I was having.

[@paulweigle6872]

That was a fantastic, fun video. The chase scene was EPIC!

[@Bruningable]

The wheels are just fantastic!

[@astravanmk2]

My favourite car of all time! There are a few examples here in the UK but they are rare.

[@joeday4293]

Hell, they don't exactly grow on trees here!

[@outdoorsjoe]

Grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard. This video was so much fun to watch!

[@jeromezielinski8773]

B R A V O !!!!!!!!!! You and Jacob work so well together !

[@darrenbyrne4622]

The breaks work the charging system works oh and dont forget the glovebox light works lol real kool vid really enjoyed it 😊

[@michaelboswell4318]

Now that was a fun video. Obviously the bones of this car is good. Lots of work yet to get it as a fully functional car. Great Job.

[@kennethsonier1766]

I can hear the narrator in the background while you guys were ripping donuts, them Duke boys are in a heap of trouble 😂 I saw the video with Cam racing when you guys found that car. Beautiful condition and I'm sure you'll do wonders with it. Excellent video guys 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@chancepollock4159]

My absolute dream car!

[@MrBrombomb]

What an awesome car! I can’t wait to see it all finished as The General Lee. It even has the original Chrysler gear-reduction starter too & sounds nice and healthy as well.

[@chrisoneill4211]

I loved this video! And you guys fed off of each other you should do more collaborative work together!!

[@shieldwolf8093]

My dream car. I need to find one for myself right now I daily a 72 charger

[@mattparoz4246]

I’m an Aussie bloke and I do love the General, but 0:39 the General is obscuring my view of a sweet Falcon wagon. 🇦🇺🤙🏼

[@hawkhawkins5374]

Great video guys. That looked like a blast. I bet the owner was watching and had a smile ear to ear.

[@johnnyjohnson5361]

The chase scene at the end of the video is awesome it brought back memories of watching the Duke's of Hazzard when I was a kid . 🤘

[@joevizz8983]

OMG when you started chasing him around in the Cop car I about died 🤣🤣 SOOOO much fun to watch!

[@rodfatherschopshop6004]

Love the way you edited in the sound clip from the first episode of the Dukes. Worked well. Yee haa!😎🇺🇸

[@rodfatherschopshop6004]

I owned the ski car from the show so watching this brought back some memories of doing the same thing with the Lee.

[@strongereveryday2302]

Those are Hasbro WWF figures from the early 1990's quite valuable in good condition in the package. The Ultimate warrior one if in the package is worth about $2000. The blue pants guy is Sting from the early/mid 90's WCW line. Cool find!

[@TEEJTHEMECHANIC]

BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN AT THE START OF THE NEW YEAR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@petecunnien5368]

What an absolute blast!! You guys made one of the funnest videos I’ve seen in a long long time

[@princeisback8473]

This video made me smile my granddaddy would appreciate it but he's not here Anymore but I love it

[@derekchad6453]

How to turn 2 grown men into boys step one give em a dodge charger, step 2 hide action figures in it, step 3 sit back and watch the chaos ensue, absolutely loved this episode , a laugh a minute 😅

[@FrethKindheart]

Still smiling from the awesome chase scene at the end.

[@JonnyHolms]

Just a good ol boys....

[@seanctaylor5511]

That was the best entertainment that I have ever seen you two playing the Duke boys lol 😆

[@jasonchapman3015]

Dylan did a pretty accurate representation of the actual general Lee car atleest going by John Schneider ( bo duke ) hahaha

[@AbigailPearson9116]

Can’t wait to see the finish product! We are excited to cruise in it when it’s done!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I better get to work on it! 🙌🏼

[@jamesspeck4151]

Oh my gosh -beautiful car! -and Dixie having fun!

[@jasonsmith8543]

Great video! My three Golden Retrievers watched with me and they want to play with Dixie! Thanks for the great content!

[@ooboo2003]

Damn that looks like a blast.. I need the boom tube off the cuda!!!

[@matthewboas3776]

I hope Catherine Tom or John get to see this video and it puts a smile on their face

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Super fun video. Can't wait to see the rest of the build. Also disappointed Dylan gave us a weak Roscoe P Coletrain impression. It needs work :)

[@ventgoblin8080]

29:38 it’s nice to see the old satellite that you got from Kevin plus chargers fo life

[@DaPenceman]

I like big batteries, I can not lie, you other mopar lovers can't deny 😅

[@JoE_Songs]

heck yes, Dylan. What a great car to start the year.. you deserve your own Charger, hope you find it soon. But at this point the are so sought after... every guy here would like to catch one

[@LuisSilveira-c9m]

The love the challenger that day have in the Garage

[@mlrsrktman]

The cop car chase had me rollin' thanks for the laughs!

[@christophermullins2935]

Love this video,the Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite TV show,glad to see the General Lee lives agian,the Police car chase just made it perfect,great job guys.

[@ryansnyder2877]

Roscoe, almost got you there at the end. This is by far the best video you have ever done. Even the music at the end was awesome keep up the great work yeeeehaw

[@joeday4293]

Good thing there wasn't a horrendous crash, Flash! 😆

[@bloodyirishman5758]

The front fenders are 1969 or 1970. This is due to the rectangular reflector slots. Can't quite tell as I've never seen a 1970 specifically up close but there would be a recess in the fender for the wrap around front bumper (fenders and the hood are 1970 specific). The doors are the optional 1970's outer skin because of the louvers at the front.

[@olikat8]

'69 is reflector-only. 1970 is longer, thinner & has an actual bulb. Those are '69 fenders

[@bloodyirishman5758]

@@olikat8 Well, learn something new everyday. Thanks for clarifying that 👍

[@olikat8]

welcome, was hoping I didn't come off as a jerk...I hate that contingent of the hobby@@bloodyirishman5758

[@lambskinny]

I feel like I passed by this being pulled on a trailer on 231 in Murfreesboro or Shelbyville.

[@HollowPandemic]

Used to be one out by where I grew up, and by the time I was able to buy it, it was gone. I always wanted one to whip around Had the whole general Lee setup radio and all

[@tnolan3176]

A friend of mine had a 70 charger SE R/T 440 with a 4 sp. back in the 80's beautiful car and damn fast !

[@davidrudd9846]

You have really been knocked it out of the park with your last videos Keep up the good work!!!!!

[@Damage-Case13]

I hope y'all had as much fun making this video as I did watching it ! Awesome !

[@ferdinandsanjuan4955]

Dylan McCool im happy! Nice job with ur Frend!👍🤣 Nice video👍🤣❤

[@Dwayne-mb2uj]

I used to live in Thousand Oaks Ca and for a while John Schneider would buy these type of cars and take them to body shops and have them made in to "General Lees" drive them around town with a for sale sign on them. He does not do that anymore that I am aware of.

[@t_pancake9826]

Earliest I’ve ever watched one of ur videos

[@MichaelMcFearin]

Maybe refrain from donuts till you have a working oil pressure gauge lol great video guys.

[@stevenduering7155]

John had gotten so good at getting in through the window, he STILL can do the run and hop in

[@kennylauracummings9374]

I absolutely love ❤️ this one

[@lusterwright2886]

Great video keep up the great work and videos

[@staceycollier6174]

I forgot about your cop car, that was freaking funny.

[@JustinRoberts-nm6un]

Dylan this morning s definitely one of my all time favorite videos with your channel!!

[@ronaldamesjr.7125]

I miss these episodes Dylan

[@millionlee6211]

Generally a good video

[@Carcrafter7165]

That 400 runs really well. Gonna get them Duke boys lol that takes me back.

[@Wooley689]

The end was pretty fun.

[@thegrumpyoldman2019]

Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior from the WWF (now the WWE) and Sting and Jimmy Snuka from WCW

[@alyouresocool]

KZbin needs something more than just LIKE.

[@disgrutledhobo6204]

Brother Dylan this was absolutely joy! I really enjoyed this video, my cheeks hurt from too much smiling and laughing! I grew up when Dukes was on tv in the 80s. What memories... Thank you so much Dylon and Sally!!! That was fun, I mean really fun to watch!!! God bless you both for restoring these old gems!!!! Man that was fun!!

[@MINIMOTOMADNESS]

[@Grandadsjunk]

Nothing like reliving ones youth out of control runs sweet to

[@williamjones5468]

Waaaaaaaaay too much fun!!

[@TheDaninator]

I was hoping to see the Dip chase the General Lee. Awesome chase! Looked like so much fun!

[@MrGozer23]

If it's a 68 and was originally that color, a Vin or build tag in the engine bay would say PR3( hemi orange) and D440 if the engine is original.

[@LumberjackPa]

I would love to see the looks on people's faces as they drove by witnessing this car chase! I had a ton of fun watching, and I will be checking out Sally's Speed for the rest of the rebuild! Thanks for sharing.

[@Kyledavis774]

This is a very interesting video to do with a 69 dodge charger this is one of my dream cars thanks for this video love it

[@throttlewatch4614]

I would absolutely build that car to be a driver you can have fun with

[@chriswages6474]

A Chevy guy myself but I do salute the general nice job Dylan&jacob

[@blahblah4125]

The cop chase of the 69 was super funny and cool! way to go getting it running, cant wait to see it finished! ROSCO PECO TRAAAAAAAAAAIN!

[@danielbaldwin9288]

My dogs name is Dixie. Shes a Black lab. Good doggo name!

[@quesochecko]

I remember climbing in and out of car windows when I was a little kid. My family had this old Toyota Tercel that just sat in our driveway after we got a new car. I would get into it, roll the windows down and jump into that car all the time and pretend I was Bo Duke. Also, another way to tell if it’s a 68 Charger is if there’s a hole for a mirror on the passenger side door. 69s didn’t have that

[@jeroensmit2520]

Bo, Luke, the federal lee, what else?! Oh there is Rosco! Now I am 9 again. Thanks for bringing ne back to good old times when I just cared for next weeks general lee stuff

[@randallsmerna384]

FUN FACT: Before his successful acting career, Sorell Booke, (Boss Hogg), was a graduate of borh Columbia and Yale Universities. He also served in the US Army as a counterintelligence officer. He was fuent in in French, Latin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, Greek and Italian. He said that he also “fussed" with a half-dozen other languages such as Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Dutch, Persian, Polish, and Swedish. Talk about not judging a book by it's cover! 😂😂

[@MegaRetr]

Noooooo I can't imagine leaving that car in a field)))))

[@AlexTheAxolotl]

Frrr old chargers are so good

[@dieselgrandpa4181]

I've always wanted a 68 Charger. Still a nice car but sad to see he changed it

[@OldTimeRevival]

Great episode! 🔥🔥🔥

[@slantfish65sd]

Hey Dylan, like your channel man love what you doing on there. This is really interesting. You have a general Lee charger on your channel. Here. And another channel that I follow shows short video clips of people who fought All of the wars that America has participated in. One of the people they focused on today was sorrel book. He's the fella who played Boss hog. I just found that very unusual and funny and cool at the same time. So in my recommendations of videos to watch here was yours and three or four recommendations later. Was that video about Sorel book? Just really something. Anyway, just wanted to bring that up and share it with you

[@josephwatts2904]

This looks like a car that Chris Birdsong needs to own

[@Moto_Channel]

scene with cops perfect😅
